• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot agree more with Mr. Duale. The positions of IGAD and African Union (AU) are fortified very strongly. I want my friend, Dr. Bonnie Khalwale, to be informed of those positions by reading Article 98 of the Rome Statute which has been domesticated in Kenya. I also want to invite Dr. Bonnie Khalwale to read the Vienna Convention of 1963 on the diplomatic immunity for sitting Heads of States and Governments. I also want to remind hon. Members that our own Constitution, which we are quoting here - and which I also believe in like ... view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I never said anything of the sought. I do not know where he got that from. I was reminding him that the Vienna Convention under our new Constitution--- Our new Constitution adopts all conventions, treaties and protocols acceded to by Kenya as part of our law. I will volunteer information and free legal advice to my friend, Dr. Khalwale, that the Vienna Convention would be superior in interpretation to any domestic law. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, another point--- view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: No, I do not wish to. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Dr. Khalwale asked whether we are going to obey the court order. If you listened to me, I said very clearly - and my learned senior, Mr. Imanyara, came in late – that, that is a judgment in error. I have heard you say it in court when you are arguing your appeals on any judgment. I said this is a judgment incapable of obedience. I never said that we will not obey it. I never said this is a judgment we will not execute. Secondly, --- view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, further, Dr. Khalwale talked about the popularity of the judgment. Once a judgment is passed, values as to whether it is popular or not are neither here nor there. The parties to the case can choose and elect to appeal. This case was filed by the International Commission of Jurists (K) against the Attorney-General and the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I do not want it! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General, as the principal respondent, has filed an appeal. Popularity or the lack of it is neither here nor there. We should wait for the outcome of the appeal. The Member for Lari asked about the security of our students and nationals. They are perfectly secure and there is no harm pending to them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Mr. Imanyara’s clarification, the Executive is part of this Government. The Executive respects the Constitution because it is founded on the Constitution. The Executive respects the Constitution and that is why ... view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if my learned junior, Milly, listened to me very well, I never said that Yusuf Haji and I gave two weeks. We said that Sudan expects a response from Kenya in two weeks; those are different things. I did not say that we gave an assurance of two weeks. The appeal has been filed and it will come when we reach it. Let us wait for the appeal to take its course and let us respect what is going on in court. view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is another point that I had omitted to answer. Dr. Khalwale asked whether I said we will invite President Bashir to come to Kenya. I also saw it in the media. I said - and it must be on a clip in all media houses, including international media - that Kenya is going to ask IGAD to call for a meeting very urgently to deal with the outstanding issues of the CPA because they were on the agenda of the Summit that we held in Addis Ababa on 25th . But because the President of ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my apologies. Maybe it was due to anxiety to contribute to this important Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill has been long overdue. That is important for the development of our economy and for the achievement of our vision as a country. Engineers, no doubt, play a critical role in any economy, because the foundation of any economy relies on infrastructure development. I think it is very important that now that we are in a new era and dispensation, we must have a law that guides and governs a profession that is so ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one thing that we must appreciate in this country is that we have produced a lot of good engineers. If you go around the African continent, you will find economies of southern African countries – South Africa itself, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and closer home, Tanzania, actually run on the strength of Kenyan engineers. The chief engineer who led the construction of the entire infrastructure for the World Cup in South Africa was a Kenyan, and he did a wonderful job. If you go to the USA, you will find very consummate Kenyan engineers, ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my very good friend knows very well. Hon. Eseli is here. The Bokoli Road passes through part of his constituency. Hon. Bifwoli is here and he passes on that road. Hon. Oparanya who has just left - the Butere road passes through his constituency. We, the Members of Parliament from the area have even written to his Ministry to protest the shoddy work on those roads. We have written to the Ministry and met the Permanent Secretary and the Minister. view
