• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the re-appointment of the Director of view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not giving advice to anybody. I am not required to give advice to anybody. I am acting from the purposes and under the principles of legal policy. My learned friend was sitting in my chair. I had not found any complaint from her against hon. Ringera. I have spoken this morning with the Director and the bodies concerned. The position remains that there is nothing on the table of His Excellency the President against the reappointment of those people that this House interviewed and approved. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is absolutely no provision for reinventing a person who has been vetted. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. I would like to, perhaps, say the following things. The Order Paper is a document prepared by the House Business Committee when it puts business of the House by virtue of Standing Orders. The anger that hon. Abdikadir and Mungatana have spoken about is also driven by an application of an instrument of this House. That is anti corruption law. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think in seeking to oppose the Motion now on the Floor, we are mixing clean water with dirty water for purposes of short ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am afraid it is quite possible that because of global warming and destruction of forests, clean water has disappeared from his constituency. Therefore, he does not know what it looks like. But to the ordinary Kenyan, I just raise this bottle. This is clean water. Dirty water would look otherwise. All that I am saying is that the House as the supreme lawmaker under Section 30 of the Constitution and Section 37, has a right to act in anger if it suspects the law it has passed may not have been applied. That is one ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view

(Mrs.) Jessie Mutura view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: It will be recalled that Act No.10 of 2007 is the Political Parties Act of 2007. That Act was passed by this House and assented to by the President on 22nd October, 2007. Under Section 1A of the Constitution of this country, Kenya is a multiparty democratic State. It is because of the recognition of that section that this House, in its wisdom, resolved to pass the Political Parties Act for the first time in the history of the country. Political parties are, therefore, an integral part of our democracy. They are the tools, vehicles and items that this country ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have no problem laying the curricula vitae on the Table as soon as I finish referring to them. I think I will do so. Then, Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, they can be referred to the relevant Committee. Fortunately for me, the Chair of the Committee responsible is no less than a distinguished lawyer himself. He knows of the gentleman I am talking about; the gentleman called Sankale ole Kantai. In fact, quite apart from his illustrious career--- view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Olago is a man of high esteem and an extremely well qualified and experienced advocate. The Act he has read is clear. Before seeking the approval of Parliament, as a matter of fact, the appointing authority is the Chief Justice. He is not even required to forward it to the Minister - that is myself. He is not required to forward this list to anyone else except to Parliament, which is what the Chief Justice did. Arising from hon. Olago’s question--- I have paid tribute to him for waking us up and waking up the ... view
