• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill further seeks to create the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court with clear functions and responsibilities. This is found in Clauses 9 and 10 of the Bill. This will free the Chief Justice and the other judges of the Supreme Court from the mundane procedural and administrative matters of the court and direct their attention and energies to the more substantive business of the court. I would hate to see the Judiciary overtake Parliament in the process of implementation of the Constitution, the reason being that the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill also sets out the manner of invoking the jurisdiction of the court in relation to disputes arising out of presidential elections.

• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the saying goes, history moves very quietly. I want to thank hon. Members for making history. This court is so fundamental to our country. In fact, you cannot over-emphasize it. So, I want to thank all of them sincerely for the contributions they have made. I want to assure Ms. Shebesh that the history and traditions we are referring to will not look backwards, but rather to implement the new Constitution looking forward. I also want to assure Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, my wonderful student, that we have a national council now under the Judicial Service Bill ... view
