• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill. I want to note that this is a very brilliant and well-thought out Bill. However, they have not indicated to us how it is going to be funded. For any law that we pass in this House to work, we need to indicate how it will be funded. We need to indicate how much money it is going to get. This is missing in this Bill. I have gone through it and as much as it is trying to meet the threshold of the Constitution of ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: For any institution that we create in this country, unless we indicate clearly how it is going to be funded, it will remain on paper. I urge the Committee to come up with how the Exchequer is going to fund this organisation. Who is going to contribute? Is it going to draw funds from the Consolidated Fund? How do they want to do it? They need to come up with a system of how that organization is going to be funded. Without that, it remains on paper. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Majority Party has talked about corruption in the Judiciary. As far as I am concerned, the issue of corruption is big. But the instrument of power to govern this country democratically and fairy is given to one man, namely, the President. This Bill speaks very well. The Bill talks of a Cabinet Minister, but in our current structure, I do not know the Cabinet Minister responsible for this. The same Bill brings out the functions of the Attorney-General. Therefore, I am not sure who they are referring to as the Cabinet Minister responsible for this. The ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Looking at the proposed board, it has been taken over by the Principal Secretary, Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government. You wonder whether those people have the ability to run the Board. I expected the institution to comprise of more members from the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), which is more active - and the private sector - rather than having half of the membership from the Government. Many organisations like this one have been established. For example, there is the one which deals with prisoners under the Attorney- General, and which has not been operationalised. It is ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Again, there is the hindrance of funding. We need to re-look into the issue of funding the institution. If we do not do that, the Bill will not be of much help. I need to be told which Cabinet Secretary is in charge of legal aids in Kenya. I do not know who is handling that at the moment and where it is placed. Is it at the Attorney-General’s chambers? If it is at the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the chambers should be included in the Bill. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, please. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, I want to be informed. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what the Member has said is true. But I have read through the Bill and it has recognised the Attorney-General as an individual or an entity. So, the Committee needs to delete one. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I have said, if they get the funds directly from the Exchequer and not through the Attorney-General, that body should not be domiciled in the Office of the Attorney-General. It has to be independent and separated. Another problem is that it is not a constitutional office. If it is not a constitutional office, it may not get funding directly from Parliament. This is an issue the Committee has to look into and come up with a clear process of funding, so that the organization can help the poor people and those who have been marginalised. ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I have an issue because that position has been vacant for some time. The President knows our calendar and how we work in Parliament. It is only fair that he respects Parliament and also as National Assembly, we should not use the Standing Order we are using at the moment. I support the nominees especially the lady who has been given a job - Mrs. Susan Mochache. It is not because she comes from Kisii, but she is competent. When we talk ... view
