• 23 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are taking my time as you speak. We should not use theft as a reason to deny revenue to the county government. There is theft in the national Government and everywhere. The question is, is what the Senate asking to do constitutional? It is not constitutional because it is the National Assembly which is given the mandate. It is our job and not the Senate’s job. With those few remarks, I support the Committee. The Committee should not involve the Senate. They are not allowed to do so anywhere in the Constitution. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, I want to say that it is not the CJ who controls the Judiciary. This innuendo from the Leader of the Majority Party implying that the CJ should control what happens when judges make a decision is not good. I find his comments to be unfair. We should not use our position to attack people who cannot defend themselves here. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: You won in the last elections but let us see if you will win in this election. Let us be sober as the National Assembly and debate issues as they are raised by Hon. Members. I want us to refer to the Constitution of Kenya. I believe when making your ruling you will be guided by it. Article 165(3)(a) states: “(3) Subject to clause (5), the High Court shall have- (a) unlimited original jurisdiction in criminal and civil matters.” It is very clear that the High Court can listen to any issue raised. I want to save time and go ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: “(5) the High Court shall not have jurisdiction in respect of matters- (a) reserved for the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under this Constitution; or (b) falling within the jurisdiction of the courts contemplated in Article 162(2).” From what has happened, I do not agree with the decision of the High Court, but we must respect it. None of us can challenge it because nowhere in this Constitution are we given a chance or excluded. If we want to be excluded as the National Assembly, we can amend the Constitution. There is no jurisdiction which states that the courts ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: discussed in Parliament. It is not fair for this National Assembly to say that communities are protecting their own. If an issue is raised against the Auditor-General he will have to answer to it. If he has gone to court and a ruling has been given, through this Constitution we are supposed to accept it. I pray that Members be sober. They may not like the decision that has been made but let us obey what the law states. We are quoting the Standing Orders and the question to be asked is: Between the Constitution and the Standing Orders, which ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my good friend should refer to the section that I have violated or which states what he is saying. We are a House of rules and procedure. Can he refer to it so that we are guided? I am referring to specific sections of the law. He should not just generalise because he wants everybody to listen to what he is saying. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The articles you have stated will be read concurrently before a decision is made. Let us not raise unnecessary emotions. I am not defending the CJ because he is a Kisii. All I am saying is that you cannot blame the CJ for a decision made by other High Court judges. These are people who make decisions and every judge has freedom to reach a decision. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Those are the few remarks I wanted to make. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is the Hon. Member in order to say that Kenya Airways has been looted, Mumias Sugar Company has been looted and all parastatals have been looted and that is why we are doing the amendment? Is he in order? Where is evidence? Can he provide evidence? From his statement, he is trying to imply these amendments are coming because parastatals have been looted. Is he in order? view
