• 22 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: The other dispensable majority does not really have a say in what happens in the direction that this country wants to take. view
• 22 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think time has come to take consultations more seriously; to take other people seriously, particularly the Back Bench, and to ventilate our politics. Therefore, I rise to propose or, rather, to agree with those that are saying that the constitution of this Committee should be in the ratio of 50:50. There should be 50 per cent from the Government and 50 per cent from the Back Bench. I propose, therefore, to support Dr. Khalwale’s proposal. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the recommendations by the Parliamentary Select Committee and commend them for what appears to have been a job well done. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: One gets the impression that the good of the nation was what was at stake. We can only hope that this will guide the deliberations that lie ahead because I think there is a rough road ahead. Constitution making is never easy. We hope that we will be able to agree and guide our people. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs is here--- It is very good to see her here. Ms. Karua, could I just use this opportunity because I shall be very brief, to really plead, through you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that this Constitution of Kenya Review Act of 2008, as the hon. Minister will know, has a schedule that is supposed to be part of the Act. That Schedule is supposed to come to this House and the Minister should tell us when that will happen. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is because in that Schedule, as a Member of the Department Committee of Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs and, as part of this National Assembly, we wanted to make sure that there was a structured way of involving other people who are not experts and Members of Parliament to make sure that they can be able to put their input and, therefore, enrich the discussions that will guide us. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it would be very helpful if the hon. Minister could, at some point, tell us when that Schedule of 30 different organisations will come to the Floor of the House so that we can approve it. That is because once we start the process and there are people who feel that they should be part of that process--- view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those people are supposed to be part of the process by law and their involvement has not been activated. They will begin to feel left out very early. The whole suspicions of politicians and non-politicians begin to entrench themselves at this stage. I would really like to ask whether the hon. Minister could tell us when that Schedule will be tabled, so that we can dispense with it and allow other members to be part of the process. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also beg to support the Motion. Lately, I have been wondering why there is a sense of agitation outside the House by the Kenyan people. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that our people feel left out of the discussions about their future. It is for that reason that I wish to also just remind us of a slogan that is becoming quite popular our there; "give us back our country."
