• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose and to say that the Government seems to be missing the point. When the Government seeks leave to shorten the publication period, they are seeking indulgence of the House. If the House is displeased by the actions of the Executive, the House is entitled to refuse to give indulgence. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: The Executive has shown that it has no respect for the rule of law and in case the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs is not aware of which provision has been violated, it is a Section of the Economic Crimes and Anti-Corruption Act; Section 8(3) for his ease of reference which clearly stipulates that when the term of the Director or the Assistants expires, it is the Advisory Board that recommends to the Executive and Parliament must approve that recommendation before appointment. That is the debate! The debate, therefore, is simply: Parliament is not reckless. We are ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Olago has read the law clearly that it is upon approval of Parliament. If, indeed, the Chief Justice forwarded the names to Parliament, could Mr. Deputy Speaker confirm that the Clerk of the National Assembly then forwarded them to the Departmental Committee? view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why we are asking this is because we cannot sit here as 220 hon. Members to look at the three curricula vitae.

• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that the Motion was moved and the hon. Minister was unable to get a Seconder, is shopping and the Seconder is being conditional, we seek your direction because the proper position is that this Motion has collapsed on its own for lack of a Seconder. Could you give us direction? view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want first to thank the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for being gracious enough to agree to this amendment. It is embarrassing that a matter emanating from the Chief Justice through the Ministry of Justice and having passed by the Attorney- General’s office can come this far for amendments to be made. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I want to call upon the Government while supporting this Motion that the Government must now wake up. No more short cuts. Parliament is not to be taken for granted. We want the rule of law to prevail. We do not want impunity by the Executive. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, noting that, that was a case of alleged brutality - and we had many such cases especially during the events of early this year - could the Assistant Minister confirm to this House whether there is a policy within the Ministry on how to deal with cases of brutality or alleged brutality? In particular, what happened to the officers from the Kamiti Maximum Prison who were responsible for some prisoners’ deaths? view
