• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: When you come to the appointment of the Chief Justice, you cannot read that Section alone, without reading the main body of the Constitution. The power of who should appoint the Chief Justice lies with the JSC. After they have done their job, they will forward the names to the relevant authority, who is the President and the Prime Minister. Therefore, for us to move forward as a nation, let us look at the best ways and means we can serve this nation. Let us mix what is in the Schedule which is not the main part of the Constitution ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, people are trying to serve themselves. I want to us to look at a situation where we have applicants for this position. The Office of the President has no capacity to vet applicants who want jobs. The people there are their friends. The people they are likely to consider are those they talk to. This new Constitution is supposed to involve all Kenyans who want these jobs. The other question is whether serving judges can qualify for the post of the Chief Justice. To me, they qualify to be considered. They should appear for interviews ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of animosity in the country. The nation is being divided. There is a feeling that there are certain people who want to divide this country into regions. There are groups of people who come together for their own selfish interest. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, somebody said he wants to privatise the Port of Mombasa. For what? It is managed very well. There is an effective Chief Executive Officer (CEO). If there is any investor who has money in this country, then he should go and start Lamu Port. This nation requires all of us to create wealth for all of us to benefit. This nation does not require a few people to create wealth for themselves. If you look at the issue of the Port of Mombasa, people want to privatise it. What is the reason? Is it making ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is my opinion. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologize. So, what I am saying is that as a nation, let us be fair to each other. This country belongs to all of us. Let us work together to foster unity and not divisions. The National Accord came into being to unite this country and not to divide it. Let us not look at who has powers to do what. Let us not look at who has no powers to do this or that. I think that is the problem we have. Some people feel that they have more power than ... view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to say that we are not able to have a President elected transparently? view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this chance to support this Bill. This is a very important day since we passed the new Constitution. This country is moving forward, but the biggest challenge that we have is that we are not respecting the new Constitution. The three arms of Government - Parliament, Judiciary and the Executive, are not respecting the new Constitution. As far as I am concerned, people have been saying that the Judicial Service Commission should not appoint the Chief Justice. My take is that the Judicial Service Commission is the one mandated by ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the first thing I want to emphasize is that, as a nation, we will not develop unless there is political goodwill from the political leadership. The biggest asset this country requires is the political goodwill from the leadership in order to implement the Budget and follow up on what is happening in the country. At the moment, the country is experiencing drought. People in North Eastern Province are dying because there is no food. This has become a ritual every year. Right now, the Government is raising resources in order to provide water and food. These ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Perhaps we need your guidance here. The Motion reads: “THAT, this House approves the Report of the Select Committee investigating the circumstances leading to the death of the late Dr. hon. Robert John Ouko EGH, MP, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 8th December, 2010”. It is asking us to approve the Report of that select committee. It is not asking us to adopt the Report. Perhaps we need guidance here. If we do approve the Report shall we be authenticating, or legitimizing, something which seems to be ... view
