• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: May I move my amendment? view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I have a slight issue with this amendment. If you look at the heading, it says “Code of Conduct for Members and Employees of the Commission”. It then gives responsibility to every member or employee thus: “...shall impartially and independently perform the functions of a member...” So, it is the responsibility. It is just making it clear that there is a personal responsibility, so that people do not hide behind--- I would go with the text as it is. We need not add anything because it is a member and an employee. Even the Commission can name ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, that amendment is actually not telling the truth. I want to oppose it for some reasons. What was tabled in this House was not the Ligale Report; it was the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs with the Ligale Report as an annexure. This House can never adopt something that is not before it. So, you cannot cure that because the HANSARD is there. Which Motion was moved? It was a Motion to adopt the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I, therefore, plead that we retain the language ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, just one word. I support the Minister’s proposal and want to assure the colleague who says the Commission is being forced to use a record, that even for the Constitutional review, we relied on the work that had been done by Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC). We cannot discard work that has been commissioned. We cannot prevent that body from improving on it. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to point out that the original clause is better. It talks about a person and the person’s spouse directly or indirectly. If you look at this other one, you will find that it removes the spouse. If we are removing conflict of interest, let us retain the original clause which is stronger than the proposed one. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: On the night of 24th-25th May, 2011, the offices of the Kenya Alliance of Residents Association – located off-Ngong Road – where the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mutoro, who is also the Secretary-General of the Kenya Consumers Federation--- These offices were broken into and computers and other vital documents taken away. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: I would want the Minister to issue a Ministerial Statement on this incident. In that Statement, I would like him to indicate whether this was political thuggery arising out of Mr. Mutoro’s activism on the rising cost of living, especially on his expressed views on the issues. I would further like the Minister to tell the House what he is doing in view of the rising number of such incidents. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that last week the Speaker directed that the Committee on Implementation and Oversight of the Constitution (CIOC) looks at the necessary amendments to this Bill. We sat as a Committee and amendments are here. Hon. Members also have their own amendments. Why would the Government want this Bill stood over? What games are being played? Is it that the Government wants to go and play hanky panky with the amendments? We need and deserve an explanation as a House. This is a very dangerous precedent by the Government of letting matters be ... view
