• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: I have absolutely no difficulty. My learned senior, you were wrong in asking the Minister for Finance to change the elections date. He has no capacity to do so or even the Executive. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can read the nostalgia with which the Professor is talking. He wishes he was one of us. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I come to the conclusion, I want to urge that we support because the Government must continue functioning and programmes should not ground to a halt simply because the House had withheld its authority for the Government to incur expenditure to run its programmes. Thank you. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I think the issues raised by Mr. Abdikadir and Dr. Nuh are legitimate. I want to persuade my learned friend here that we stand down this Committee of the whole House to this afternoon, then we can go straight to Mr. Mutula Kilonzo’s Bill which we can deal with up to the rise of the House. In the afternoon, we can then come back to the Committee of the whole House. I am sure most of the complaining Members are very clever young men. They will have run through all ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Lawyers do make undertakings all the time. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are really saying the same things over and over and undermining the consultation time that we wanted the Minister and the Committee to go and have. Why do we not bring this unhelpful debate to an end so that the Minister and the Committees can go and meet and come and give us progress in the afternoon? If they have made good progress, we move on and if they have not then we will consider the matter. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I thank and congratulate my learned senior for bringing this Bill to give effect to a constitutional provision that creates the TSC. On Article 5I, I want to urge and recommend the Minister that the nine commissioners to be appointed for the period of six years, for purposes of institutional memory and continuity, their appointments should be staggered so that when a certain number falls out, there is at least some left because we have quite a number of statutory members. But there is no guarantee that the statutory member representing ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the functions of the Commission as spelt out in Article 11 are commendable but I want also to urge that the TSC pays attention to some of the ills ailing the education sector. We have an auxiliary arm, maybe not of the TSC but a critical component of the teaching fraternity – the trade union group who are also teachers. You will always find that when a teacher has misbehaved, for example, those who molest the young girls in school or those who commit other misdemeanors and felonies, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Commission being invited to form an opinion on the nature of the conviction or nature of the offence? A criminal offence is a criminal offence. If you are convicted of a criminal offence, the Commission should not be invited to have an opinion on whether the gravity requires you to be registered or not. We should just have a single standard rule such that if you are convicted of a criminal offence, you do not qualify. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Of course, my learned senior friend knows that there are certain quasi criminal offences like those under the Traffic Act, where you may be convicted through a parking ticket. That may not impact negatively on your capacity to teach but we should not talk of “in the opinion of the Commission”. view
