• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: “(5) The general rules of international law shall form part of the laws of Kenya; and, view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: (6) Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya form part of the laws of Kenya under the Constitution.” What this mean is this: As soon as a treaty is ratified, it becomes a law of Kenya. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: This was a very thorny issue for the church and they wanted the Constitution to be defeated because of Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution. I made a promise to the church that I will bring a law to ensure that Parliament is involved in the process of treaty making. So, we cannot say that these treaties are made without our input. If there is one law that comes to Parliament so many times is the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, 2012. Therefore, Parliament is involved. Unfortunately, for us, the East and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group was formed ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a very interesting question. By virtue, and dint of Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution, the moment we ratify a treaty, it automatically becomes law. The Constitution gives it that clothing. That is why under the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, Parliament must be involved. Before, this was the role of the Executive and there was always a clash because the Executive did not look at what our Constitution provides. Since it comes to Parliament this means we must look at the issue of constitutionality before we go out there. So, in terms ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me rise to support because I have spoken at length on the issue of constitutionality. I just want to say that if we are minded in dealing with corruption in this country, we must take very difficult choices even for us as lawyers because this law affects me. We must balance between rights and doing the right thing. We will not limit our rights to an extent that is not allowed constitutionally, but we will ensure that we deal with corruption. I only urge the agencies that are designated to deal with corruption ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hear a Member saying that I have just walked in. I have not just walked in. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to, very briefly, say that I congratulate the President on his Speech on issues of national security, international obligations, national values and climate reforms. Because of the short time, I just want to say that in a way, it was the President indicating his legacy and the steps he has taken. I challenge his speech writer to, in future, shorten it so that we can get the gist of the issues. The President had very important issues which were getting lost. I commend the mention of reproductive rights and healthcare in terms ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I was in Nyeri just the other day, and I saw the state of the road network in that area. The President has done a lot. I just wish they appreciated him more. Some of us are still begging for those resources. I wish the President would facilitate and enable the resources to also come to our areas. I know he has been trying to do equalisation. People should not pretend when they get resources for development in their areas by casting aspersions on the President. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: On the last issue that Hon. Bunyasi has spoken about regarding the Chief Justice sitting on the panel that the Chair of the IEBC walked out on, it cannot be a fault now when it was not a fault back then. Sometimes when we are talking about independence, let us be careful when we are discussing what independence is. Personally, I do not care whether he is there or not. I think there is a level of independence that is bordering on ridiculousness. The Chair of the IEBC wants to be so independent yet he will at one point be ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill (National Assembly Bill No.34 of 2019) be now read a Third Time. This Bill will now give an opportunity to couples who are struggling to have children like me. The time is not too late. I also request Hon. Dawood to second. view
