• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: which is a mild form that involves the removal of the prepuce and part of or the entire clitoris. There is also excision which involves removal of the clitoris and the inner lips which is the labia minora . There is also infibulation which involves the removal of the clitoris, some of or all of the labia minora are cut off and incisions are made in the inner lips to create raw surfaces. Those raw surfaces are either stitched together or kept in contact by tying legs together until they heal as hood of skin which covers the urethra and ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister aware that the appointments are unconstitutional because out of the entire list, there are only two women in Bura I, while there is only one woman in the list for Hola Irrigation Scheme? This is the case and yet these are jobs that you can easily find any level of women to do. Is the Minister aware that her appointments are unconstitutional? view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion and in doing so, I want to thank the CIC for the work that it has done. I know that it has been in existence for a short time but it has managed to do a good job. I want to say that, that is an independent Commission under the Constitution. I would want to urge them to ensure that they keep their mandate as an independent institution and as the public watchdog. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with the charged political atmosphere, there may be temptation to associate with or take positions that are not constitutional, and that may be seen to align with a particular political position or party. I want to encourage the Commission to help the country to steer towards a path of reform, reconciliation and healing. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Report, a lot of it shows that a lot of preparatory work has been done but there is some substantive work. I want to encourage the Commission--- We told them when we first met that they landed on their job running and we want to tell them to continue running. That is because contrary to what is in the public domain, Parliament is running on the issue of constitutional implementation. We actually have the smaller bit in relation to constitutional implementation which is passing the law. As my Chair has ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the things that I want to raise as a concern is that the public is always castigating Members of Parliament for not doing their work. Indeed, I have been told that in one of the newspapers today, it has been indicated that we are not doing our work. We are here now for the third week. There is absolutely no Bill before this House that has to do with constitutional implementation. So, I want to urge the Executive to pull up its socks. We are here and ready to work and we want ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair has actually indicated that where the Executive slackens, we will not slumber. We will take the challenge. Hon. Mungatana has already brought a Bill on public appointments. I have already done a Bill on ratification of treaties and I can see my teacher, the Minister for Justice, Constitutional Affairs and National Reconciliation, looking at me. If you do not bring the Bills, we will take over and do all of them. So, please, be on guard. We are serious Kenyans. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to also thank the Commission. It has acknowledged that it is guided by national values and principles. I think one of the worrying trends that I have noticed is that even though the national values and principles are in the Constitution, many of us think that they are cosmetic; that they are these sweet smelling flowers and that they are not part of the Constitution. They are a substantive part of the Constitution. So, if, indeed, the Constitution says that in every action that we take as public bodies, we must be guided ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also note that the Report talks about the issue of public participation. Again, this is one of the areas that people seem to think that it is done as a matter of charity. It is not any more. We must ensure public participation as a matter of right. Because of that, I want to encourage the Commission that one of the Bills that it must fast-track is the Bill on public participation at all levels of implementation. I have seen some Ministries setting up task forces and they are asking the public to bring ... view
