• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: In Mombasa, for example, we have the central High Court. But we need a High Court in Mtwapa, Ukunda, Likoni and Changamwe. This is the only way we can decongest the High Court in Mombasa. This will make it easy for those who practise law to practise law; for the judges and magistrates who dispense justice to do so and for the police to do their work within the confines of fewer crowds. We have seen cases where you go to court and, sometimes, accused persons wanaponyoka kutoka mikononi mwapolisi and join the crowd. They disappear because of the sheer ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kisumu High Court is always crowded. The Ministry and the Judicial Service Commission should consider having a High Court in Majengo, Maseno, Sondu and Ahero. This is the only way we can dispense justice and decongest the High Court in Kisumu. It can be quite easy once we have these establishments set up. This country has immensely qualified lawyers. Some of them are under-employed, others are idle while others are doing absolutely nothing and yet they can dispense justice to all to the satisfaction of the people of this country. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I come to the end of my brief submission, I also want to urge that the ongoing process of vetting of judges and magistrates to be faster, fair and to avoid causing unnecessary humiliation and agony. I have seen known conmen - I say this very guardedly because I have practised law in this country for a long time - who mill around the courts of law day and night. They are the ones now turning up, labeling judges that they are this or that. But the vetting body has no capacity to scrutinize ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope the Minister has made a request in the coming Budget for more allocations to expand judicial services. In the new Constitution, we have said something l do not agree with; that the Government has a duty to pay legal fees for litigants. I find this awkward, but it is in the Constitution. If we have that, then make it possible for people to access fair justice, quick justice and justice that will satisfy all. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know you have made a comment on the Motion and the Motion that was here before. However, truly speaking your distinction is on form and not substance. The substance of this Motion is not any different from the Motion that we debated and voted on last time. Seeing the mood in the House, it is quite clear that we dispose of this Motion in the manner you had earlier directed that it is coming for vote. I urge you to accede to the popular mood in the House and put the ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to also contribute to this policy statement by His Excellency the President and laud the content as being critical to moving our country forward. This country is facing many challenges; some challenges are surmountable others insurmountable. We are going to elections and given our previous history and how Kenyans have behaved at elections, in 1992/93, 1997 and 2007, we must be extra vigilant in making adequate security preparations, so that we do not have any reckless loss of lives, destruction of property and mayhem born out of possible disagreement on ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country has done very well in the last ten years on infrastructure. A lot of roads have been done and a lot of facilities put in place. But sometimes it disturbs me to hear like today we are having heavy rains for the last two months and new roads are being washed away. How do roads survive the weather in the Amazon Basin, Congo Basin and the jungle of Indonesia and Malaysia where it rains from January to December? Why should a week’s rain wash away a highway? It means we are not doing ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: I want to encourage that we continue pursuing regional integration even in areas where as Kenya; we feel we run a comparative disadvantage. We must look at the bigger picture. We should not simply look at narrow issues that can derail the process of integration. The East African Community (EAC) has now a Customs Union. We are moving to a Monetary Union and you can see we have applications to join from Somalia – hopefully this will stabilize Somalia – from South Sudan, the Sudan and I hope in the very near future, we should be able to entice Ethiopia ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: This country is suffering from excessive consumption of alcohol. If you go to the countryside, the number of drunken – helplessly drunken – young people is worrying. We have passed a law here to regulate alcohol drinking. The problem is the enforcement and if we really want this country to harness the potential in its people, a person who has consumed alcohol to the level of temporary insanity cannot be productive in any way even in social ways. We need to find a way of controlling consumption of alcohol especially among the youth because we are losing generations to reckless ... view
