• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Chairman. I am coming to the same concern that I was raising. If you see the amendments proposed by Hon. Jude Njomo in the definition section which has three different definitions, assuming I want to support one and reject two and then we vote on all of them, It does not make sense because this is not like the Senate Amendments that we then send for mediation. On these ones, we deal with them once and for all. So, I would be suggesting especially on this section on amendments if we could deal with each one ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support the Bill. This Bill is a good piece of legislation in consolidating provisions on contempt but it would have been good practice to have some level of legislative coherence. It would have made more sense if all the consolidated pieces in terms of contempt were contained in the Judicature Act. This Parliament is doing a good job but we tend to over-legislate. In the end, we will be giving lawyers more difficult tasks. Contempt covers a lot in terms of substance but it is a by-product of proceedings. In my ... view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I think one of those processes is to loosen up our courts and make them friendlier. I know there is a lot that has been done towards making them friendlier but one way in terms of making our courts friendly is that we need to be open in terms of the process of the court itself. Let us demystify the court process. Part of it is looking at some very technical terminologies. I was talking to the people of Mbita and I told them that sometimes when Jubilee is difficult, we filibuster. I tell them that Jubilee is not very ... view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: One of the things that I would want to raise as a concern for me is--- Sometimes, I have seen that when I raise some of these issues, they sound very simple but I have been proven right. I cannot remember the law that came here. I think it was the law on vetting of magistrates and judges. There was just one word like the one I am going to raise here that talked about temperament. I pushed for the deletion of that word. I remember even very senior lawyers like my good friend, Senator James Orengo, and the late ... view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 6 says that every subordinate court shall have power to punish for contempt of court on the face of the court in any case where a person assaults, threatens or intimidates. Assaulting is very clear because we even have a law that talks about assault or threatening but what is ―intimidate‖? If I go to court and sit at the back and, maybe, I glare at you without blinking, I could be intimidating. So, what is contempt? Some of us who have been in civil society are very good at that. I will just go and sit right in ... view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: However, I want to say on the same line that I like the provision: ―or wilfully incites a judicial officer or a witness during a sitting or attendance in a court.‖ The reason why I like that is if we were to compare it to what Miguna Miguna did, assuming what Miguna Miguna did in view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: yesterday were in court, then I think Miguna Miguna would be in contempt of court. Even Jeff Koinange himself would be in contempt of court for abusing women and women sexuality like women invented sex. In fact, I wrote today in my Facebook that I love sex, I enjoy sex and I have sex. I think what Kenyans need to do now is start talking about sex like it is a normal thing. Let us stop making women feel guilty of sex like we invented it. Every time a woman wants to run for office we talk about sex. What ... view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: intimidate people like Passaris merely because she says she wants to vie for the position of governor. She is not in my party. If it were not for the issue of parties, I would have told all the women to vote for Passaris on that basis alone so that men stop joking with us. We are the majority. view
• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: My annoyance has made me lose time. I also have an issue with Clause 9, especially on the issue of fair comment and even the issue that I have raised under Clause 9 (b) on the issue of temperate language. What is temperate language? Like now I have talked about sex. Somebody will tell you: ―That is not a God fearing woman.‖ You are worse than me. Maybe your heart is black. You hate Luos and Kikuyus and because I have talked about sex, you are telling me my language is temperate. I do not hate Kikuyus or any other ... view
