• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just wanted the Chair to clarify. Of course, I disagree with him. One of the strengths of the Kenyan Parliament is that when we go out, people are so impressed at how young the Kenyan Parliament is. It is not a negative, but a positive. If you look at this amendment, it says that a person is eligible for election as a President or Vice President if the person is a member or former member of the Council. So, it is saying that you must be a member or a former member and ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: not just one. You are limiting the number of people who can be eligible. For instance, by putting the “Council and”, I cannot be President neither can I be Vice President even though I have practised for 15 years. Why are you limiting the number of people who can be President or Vice President? view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would have preferred that we retain what is in Clause 20 with the addition of the words “and as approved by the general meeting preceding the election”. That is actually what they have done. Even by not mentioning the IEBC, you have still imported it in your new amendment. I do not know why the Law Society of Kenya would be averse to using the IEBC. Even though the IEBC is not good, it is better than nothing. It is a better means of conducting smaller elections like the ones for the Law Society of ... view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. That is what I was seeking clarification on. When you say “without authority”, I can be sick and I am not given authority. It is the same problem we are facing here in Parliament now. I would want to suggest that we use “without reasonable grounds” instead of saying “without authority.” If I am sick, then it is a reasonable ground. If I have suffered a loss or have somebody deceased, it is a reasonable ground. So I am persuading the Chair that we say “without reasonable ground”. view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to agree with the Mover and the Seconder that we should have taken a bipartisan approach. It is very sad that on an issue of security, we would like to come here and go the way we are going. But, unfortunately, the damage is already done. This is one thing that we should have sat, as a House, in a Kamukunji and talked soberly about it. Security affects all of us. When you have the Westgate attack and all those issues that the Members are citing, you would be ... view
