• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the Assistant Minister, with his kind permission--- I thank him as well as the House. I want to inform him of the provisions of Chapter 8 of the Constitution, Article 94 so that, as this issue is canvassed, everybody is aware that under Article 94(5), no person or body other than Parliament has the power to make provision of heaving the force of law in Kenya except under the authority conferred by this Constitution or by legislation. Further to this, I want to inform the Assistant Minister that by virtue of Article 2(5) ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to do so. While apologizing to the hon. Member and the House, I request that the matter be addressed on Tuesday, next week. I will alert the Minister. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Would I be in order to ask whether the hon. Member, whom I respect as much as a man can respect another man, to mislead the House on this Bill? What is provided for under Clause 9(5) is not a board. Probably, it is just a slight oversight on his part. This is purely a selection committee, whose purpose is merely to collect the applications and shortlist the applicants. Would I be in order to ask the hon. Member to address it not as “board” but as “selection committee”? view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to tell the House that I have been educated. I have been listening very hard and I have learnt. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I want to assure hon. Imanyara and all other Members who have spoken about it that Clause 9(14) was not inserted here for mischief. As we did with the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution, was inserted this in order to produce the sort of debate that has occurred. Those who listened to the debate will understand that I have heard your sentiments and we will consider deleting it, in order to bring it in line with the Members’ contribution. On the issue of consultation raised by hon. Members in Clause 12(5), we will look at it. I also ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Mbadi supported with reservations, just because of Clause 9(14) and Clause 12(6). I want to assure him that we will modify this Bill so that it reflects the thinking of the country; not the thinking of the Minister or even the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC). We want to accommodate the thinking of the country as it has emerged in this debate. For Mr. Kenneth, I want to thank him and assure him that I will never participate in the sort of radical surgery that occurred in 2003 and onwards; the ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Allow me to remind the country, without fear, that this country is undergoing a terrible catharsis over the issue of the ICC and the Rome Statute where everybody is watching whether we are going to set a judicial mechanism. That is what I will be recommending as soon as these Bills are through, to reflect the best international standards. Therefore, as you object to the issue of three Kenyans, please bear in mind that the boards are going to be three and each board will have three members. Our idea or the architecture behind this law - and I want ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I agree that we need to have gender balance and I will adjust the Bill suitably to reflect that. I agree that we must accept ethnic balance. In fact, the Bill calls for regional and other balances. On the issue of “temperament”, and this is for Mr. Mungatana: Please be careful as you seek to delete this. I will try to persuade you that we have had a judge in Kenya taken to court on the pretext that in a traffic jam, he came out with a knife and attempted to injure a Kenyan. Although he was acquitted, I am ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Judicial Service Bill, (Bill No.2 of 2011) be read a Second Time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a momentous day for the country considering that I am on the Floor seeking to present to this country a law on the Judiciary. It is a law that is very far-reaching and critical. Before I even begin on it, I want to read to you the second edition of a book called view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: published in 1997 on justice. In defining it, it says:- “Justice in its common acceptance is rendering of every man his due; the constant and perpetual desire to render everyone his due; the dictate of right according to the consent of mankind generally or of that portion of mankind who may be associated in one government or who may be governed by the same principles and morals. Justice is the establishment and enforcement of which is the object of all law. It is a comprehensive term in which are included the three great objects of which according to our declaration ... view
