• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion and I want to congratulate Mr. Mbadi for moving the amendment because we need a little extra time in this festive mood for hon. Members to go back to their constituencies, interact and fraternize with Kenyans and make good out of the results of the referendum. I want to urge all of us here and Kenyans at large that the referendum is over and behind us. So, we should now stop talking about those who opposed and those who supported the Constitution. We ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Equally, hon. Members have been very busy with vigorous campaigns all over the country and it is a deserved rest for them to take time off and be able to attend to other pressing personal and national issues. As we do so, it is also important that coming as it does immediately after the Budget, we have the time to go back to our constituencies and look at our programmes and Government implemented programmes. I want to commend the people of Kenya in the manner that they have conducted themselves in the last couple of months and the manner in ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take this opportunity to salute my colleagues with whom we sat for many hours at Serena to run through Agenda 1, 2, 3 and 4, and this House for supporting us fully so that we can give this country a new direction and a new hope and a new vision. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: I conclude by once again congratulating every Kenyan that we are now moving to the direction that we all desire to. I want to caution Mr. Kutuny that there are no “NOs” and “YES’” in Kenya today. We have Kenyans all under a new Constitution and that is what we want to have. view

• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the 27th August, 2010, the people of Kenya marked an extraordinary moment in the country’s history. Our new Constitution was promulgated by His Excellency the President in front of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Kenyans, including several foreign dignitaries, including four Heads of State from our sub-region. The new Constitution had been overwhelmingly endorsed earlier in the month at a national referendum and celebrated as a positive step towards democracy and a new future for this country. The promulgation of the new Constitution marked the end of a 20 year long struggle to produce ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the new Constitution has been billed as the most important event in Kenya’s history since our Independence in 1963. It is in this regard, that the Government took a decision to invite a number of foreign Heads of States and Governments to grace the promulgation ceremony among them, President Omar Al- Bashir of Sudan. I would like to speak specifically, on President Omar Al-Bashir’s presence at the ceremony due to the concerns raised by many Kenyans about this visit. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: The decision to invite President Al-Bashir of Sudan to the ceremonies of the promulgation of Kenya’s new Constitution was based on a number of factors. 1. The desire to entrench and deepen the principle of good neighbourliness and the need to maintain closer relations with neighbouring countries is a matter of strategic and national interest for Kenya. The Heads of States consist of Kenya’s partners in the East African Community; that is Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and Uganda and member countries of IGAD; that is Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti and Somalia. They were all invited. 2. As a guarantor of the ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya is a regional leader and one of the few countries in the world to pass a new Constitution at peace time. It was, therefore, considered important to include in our invitations, neighbouring countries which are still experiencing problems internally, first, as a sign of encouragement to their own internal processes, and secondly, for them to learn from our experience. view
