• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Motion. This Motion is very critical for this nation. As we are all aware, Kenya is an agricultural country. Our GDP in terms of economic activities when you compare with the manufacturing sector, is the leading one. The problem we have here is that the Government has not shown any interest in supporting the farmer. Setting up a factory for fertilizer is something strategic for this nation. It is something that we, as a nation, have no option, but to do it. If you look at ... view

• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion in this country. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the Government to borrow, it is a right. It is through the Government borrowing that we are able to get roads; we are able to get money to construct dams; we are able to get money to get electricity. These public projects are meant for the common good of the Kenyan public but in the past, there are loans which have been given that were not for the public good. For example, the one ... view

• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have gone through the Bill and the whole Constitution. The Bill before us is the Judicial Service Bill. It is the best Bill we have in this country, if we can respect what is in the Constitution. I want to contribute on the ongoing debate about the appointment of judicial officers. The Constitution has made very clear, the role of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). It is clearly stated in the Constitution that the JSC will be involved in the recruitment of judicial officers. It is their duty to advertise positions in the judiciary ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitution is divided into two sections. We have the main body of the Constitution, which runs from chapter one to 18. Then we have the Schedule of the Constitution, which actually states how the Constitution should operate. There is no way the Government or anybody can make decisions based on Schedules of the Constitution. Any decision that has to be made, especially on the appointment of judicial officers, where we are now, should follow the provisions of the Constitution. We cannot read a section or a schedule of the Constitution in the appointment of ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the main Constitution is from Chapter one to 18. The Schedule is supposed to help the Constitution to be operationalized. The first Schedule is Article Six, which gives the number of Counties. Unless we follow this Constitution to the letter, we will have problems. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I look forward to a scenario where people will apply for jobs such as Chief Justice, judges or any constitutional office. To me, there are two sections here. We have the judicial officers and other civil servants in the Civil Service. The JSC has a mechanism of appointing someone to the position of the Chief Justice. The recruitment of other civil servants is done by the Public Service Commission (PSC). As I said, judicial officers are recruited by the JSC. Is the JSC operational? Yes, it is operational. The Constitution is very clear. Therefore, anything ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 23 is on judges. The rule on vetting of judges is very clear. It says:- view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: “Within one year, after the effective date, Parliament shall enact a legislation which shall operate----.” We have Articles 160, 167 and 168. That Section is anchored in the main Constitution. When it talks about the Chief Justice, it is very clear. It says:- “The Chief Justice in office immediately before the effective date shall within six months after the effective date, vacate office.” It is also very clear. We must refer to it. view
