• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate my good friend the Minister for bringing this Bill at this time. It is very critical for the implementation of the Constitution. I have just about two points to make; number one, the judges to be appointed under Clause 6 should just be bearing the same qualifications as judges being appointed to the Superior Court and any other court, so that we do not have this court looking as if it is lower. We should just lift from the High Court Judges’ qualifications. Number two, when the courts operate, because we ... view

• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, before I speak on the procedure, let me tell you, hon. Members. For those who are pursuing legislation with vested interests, there was a Prime Minister in Pakistan called Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. When he was the Prime Minister, he engineered a law which outlawed the participation of any foreign lawyers, particularly Queen’s Counsels (QCs) from the the UK, in Pakistani jurisdiction. After a while in office, a military general overthrew him and took him to court. He sought to bring 10 QCs from the UK to defend him, and he was shown the law that he had ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: So, whatever we do, my colleagues, let us not do it for our personal interests, or for vested interests of today. Let us do it for posterity. I want, in future, my children, my grandchildren and your grandchildren to inherit a law which puts everybody in a position of comfort. Let us not pass laws because they will help cross the Rubicon today. Even in Roman days, when you crossed the Rubicon, you never came back. We should be more careful than that. view

Members, allow me to read this Standing Order, which says:- “119(1) When a Bill has been reported from a Committee of the whole House on committal, the House shall consider the Bill as so reported upon a Motion “That the House do agree with the Committee in the said report” (2) The question on any Motion moved under paragraph (1) of this Standing Order shall be put forthwith, no amendment, adjournment or debate being allowed, unless any Member desires to delete or amend any provision contained in a Bill, or to introduce any new provision therein, in which case ... view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think hon. Mwau is misreading and misinterpreting the Constitution for reasons that have been advanced by my learned colleagues, hon. Imanyara, Odhiambo-Mabona and Mutula Kilonzo. Indeed, if you have been listening to the Member, he is not challenging the constitutionality of the Motion. He is just engaged in arguments and arguments. So, what we should do, in my view, is allow the Motion to proceed. Hon. Mwau can contribute in the manner he wishes. He can cite as many provisions of the Constitution as he thinks fit. In the process, he can convince some Members ... view
