The only onus that the Standing Order gives us is that you need to prove. Therefore, I want to be guided whether the Member has proved that this matter is before a court, whether it is an active matter with a date and whether the documents that have been presented before this House are authentic court documents. view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: This House has pronounced itself on previous rulings on similar issues. I urge the House that even as we are considering that, we should consider it vis-à-vis the principle of separation of powers. How do we deal with the principle of separation of powers on one hand and the issue of sub judice on the other hand? There are many rulings that this House has pronounced in terms of balancing the two. We do not want to excite Kenyans who want to stop the proceedings of this House when we have matters before the House. On the other hand, we ... view

• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: understandable to have the kind of emotions we are experiencing here. It is because people are feeling frustrated. Sometimes the Government has knee-jerk reactions to very serious issues like this one. We passed in this House the Victim Protection Act which I sponsored. It provides for the setting up of a fund to take care of the victims like the ones we have seen. Instead, the Government is sort of giving out money like it is charity.

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not persuaded. I know that the Chairman of the Committee is saying that it is not about corruption; rather it is about sisters. You know ethics, integrity and corruption are sisters. If you want to be serious about the fight against corruption and similar crimes, we cannot be treating people with kid gloves. So, five years is a joke. If the Jubilee Government is serious about fighting corruption, why should he come here and propose a period of five years? view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I want to agree with hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. The Standing Orders are very clear that this must be done in the Committee of the whole House. Over and above that, I have been in this House and I was agreeing with my colleague here that some of us are experts at Third Reading. Even in the last Parliament, sometimes in the Third Reading, we were only three Members and I have never in the history of my over six years in Parliament seen what we are trying to do today. The re-committal is usually done in the Committee ... view
