• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support and I will be very brief. I want to indicate that there has been a lot of talk that the Constituencies Development Fund will be abolished with the new Government and that would be indeed very unfortunate because when you come from areas that are marginalised like where some of us come from, over the years, what has helped communities has been the CDF. I do not necessarily agree with some of the structures and I am happy that I see it from a better eye view because I have not ... view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join the other Members of Parliament in congratulating Mr. Gichohi for his sterling performance in Parliament. For the duration that I have been here, he has distinguished himself with a wealth of knowledge on parliamentary procedure. Indeed, I think he is the single individual with superb institutional memory of this Parliament. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I also want to congratulate him for his dedication and contribution to the service of Parliament, especially when we are doing our procedures. When we were coming with the Constitution, I especially remember the amazing work that he did in Naivasha. We sat for long hours and he guided parliamentary staff and even Members of Parliament with exemplary knowledge. I wish him very well wherever he goes. I hope he will still be available for service of Parliament, especially in relation to our institutional memory. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I wish him all the best. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the only thing I would want the Chairman of the Committee to consider is that there are times we pass Bills with those provisions and the relevant Minister does not abide by even the specified timelines. So, unless we give a provision for automatic passage, then it really does not cure what we are trying to do. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 be amended— (a) in subclause (1), by— (i) deleting the word “legislation” and substituting therefor the words “legislative proposals” in paragraph (e); (ii) deleting paragraph (f); (iii) inserting the word “national” immediately before the word “Government” in paragraph (j); (b) in subclause (2), by deleting the words “and shall not be under the direction or control of any person or authority”. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: This is to bring it in conformity with the Constitution. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: ( Question, that the words to be left view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that we agreed with the Attorney-General is Clause 6(5) which has a similar provision. So, even if you delete this, it does not really make a difference because it is already contained in Clause 6(5) and this is an amendment that was carried by the Committee. I would encourage the Attorney-General that we stay by what we agreed because what we discussed was that I was going to propose a deletion of Clause 6(5). We agreed that I do not move the amendment to delete Clause 6(5) which has similar ... view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for purposes of legislative history I am glad that Mr. Nyamweya has put that on record. One of the things that the Committee was uncomfortable with is that it seems to imply that it has given the Attorney-General certain powers that he does not have within the Constitution. The Committee understands that it is professional independence that he has. By virtue of this Bill, we will give him precedence over a whole lot of lawyers within courts. Just to clarify for Mr. Nyamweya, what we have carried is what was agreed by the Committee, which was ... view
