• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was saying that if you look at Article 2(6) of the Constitution, you will see that it does not require us to have ratified the protocol. Indeed, I have brought the Ratification of Treaties Bill which will be coming for First Reading, hopefully, this week or next week.

• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is pursuant to Article 171(2) of the Constitution. The Committee had already considered Members of the Judicial Service Commission, which Members were actually approved for appointment on the Floor of this House.

However, following the resignation of Bishop Antony Muheria from the JSC, the National Assembly received a letter informing the House as much. The Speaker then directed that the name and Curriculum Vitae of Dr. Samuel Kobia be referred to the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee for consideration prior ... view

I would like to agree with the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs that we are filling a vacancy from a resignation of a member.

Then, that would be a totally different issue. However, if he is not questioning the entire process, then I agree with the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs that what we have done as a Committee is ... view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can actually see what the hon. Member is talking about. I will read the transitional clause 3(d) that he is talking about. It says:- “To ensure continuity in the operation of the Judicial Service Commission, despite Article 171(4), when the Commission is first constituted, the following member shall be appointed to serve for three years only.” It moves on to part “d” to say: “One of the members appointed by the President under Article 171(4)(h) to be identified by the President.
