• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: I know you have heard, but I want to tell you again that the fact that you are given one ballot paper means that you should vote on your own. We do not have agents here, unless you want us to appoint agents. Thank you, Mr. Clerk. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you and also wish to join my colleagues in congratulating you on your worthy election. You are fit and able and I have no doubt that you will lead this House to greater heights. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: I wonder and I want to pause whether my learned friend, hon. Orengo, is in order to mislead the House. He is misleading the House because he is reading the Constitution selectively. I do not think it is right to merely read Sections 1 and 1(A) and ignore the rest of the Constitution. Therefore, allow me to point out why I believe he is out of order and then you can make a ruling. One of the very important sections of our Constitution is Section 4. You will notice that it is emphatic and clear. It says:- view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: "There shall be a President of Kenya, who shall be the Head of State and Commander- in-Chief of the armed forces of the Republic". view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: You will notice that, that is not conditional upon either an election petition or for that matter on what hon. Kivuitu may do or not or what a court of law may do. It states that there shall be a President of Kenya who shall be the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Republic of Kenya. Therefore, it is in order, in my view, and I stand to be corrected, but only by you, to swear allegiance to the Head of State, who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Similarly, if you allow me, and to my amazement hon. Orengo is ignoring Section 23 of the Constitution. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Allow me to read it because it is very brief. It says:- view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: "The executive authority of the Government of Kenya shall vest in the President and subject to this Constitution, may be exercised by him either directly or through officers subordinate to him". view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I speak to this honourable House, His Excellency President Kibaki has already been sworn in and as far as I know, there is absolutely nothing anywhere in our judicial system challenging that swearing in or the vote. That brings me to Section 10. That is why I have said that hon. Orengo should not mislead the House by reading the Constitution selectively. Section 10 is very clear. In fact, you will see the note on the side which says:- view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: "Determination of question as to validity of Presidential election". view
