• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to seek your guidance in the manner that it has been presented? view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all know the Constitution and we are familiar with Section 30 of the Constitution which confers legislative authority on this hon. Parliament. If you look at the Order Paper, Order No.7 says: "The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill (Bill No.25). (The Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs), Second Reading". That means that the Bill is already the property of this House. The moment the Bill went through First Reading, it became our property. Above all, it is the property of 37 million Kenyans who are now living and those who will be born ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the request before you is clearly out of order, according to me. It is out of order in the sense that the hon. Member is suggesting - and I have a lot of respect for him - I recognise his long experience in the law. He is out of order because this House has already taken possession of that Bill because it is in Second Reading. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, at the time that the hon. Minister rose to read that Bill for the Second Reading last week, the same hon. Member stood up and with the support of three other hon. Members, managed under Standing Order 99, to get this House and ultimately the country, to postpone the debate, that is Second Reading, to today. I am afraid that my original training is law and will always be law. No person should be allowed to benefit from his own wrongdoing or inequity. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Therefore, by seeking to stand up here and block us from debating this particular Bill in its Second Reading, my suggestion to the Chair, with respect, because you are my boss in this matter, is that your ruling should be that the hon. Member for Imenti Central is out of order. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thirdly, the hon. Member has cited the National Accord and Reconciliation Act. As the hon. Minister said, we ourselves approved the Waki Report but that is not the way I am going. On top of the Waki Commission Report is a recommendation that after the principals signed an agreement to accept the implementation of that report, this House ought to pass an amendment to the Constitution entrenching a tribunal within 45 days. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Our principals on both sides, that is the President and the Right hon. Prime Minister, signed that agreement on 18th December, 2008. We have also been in two kamukunjis where the arguments being raised on the Floor of this House were never raised. Nobody raised the issue as to whether we had exceeded the period or whether we were on time. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: 4620 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES February 3, 2009 view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I also want to salute the Office of the Speaker because this is the first time in the history of Kenya's Parliament to be sitting on 3rd February--- view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to pay tribute to the Office of the Speaker because, to my knowledge, this is the first time the Kenyan Parliament is sitting on 3rd February. This is because you recalled, on the request of the Government, Parliament to come and sit in order to push the passing of this particular law. view
