7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, mine is going to be very factual. I want to assure the country that I am working very well with everybody, including the CIC, the CIOC and the other Committees.

7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
The CIC has so far approved three Bills, the first one being The Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission Bill. I am privileged to announce to the country that I signed that law today for gazettement. I have asked the Government Printer to gazette it today, failing which they will do so tomorrow. The CIC has also approved The Salaries and Remuneration Commission Bill, which I also expect to be gazetted today, or latest tomorrow. The CIC has also approved the Independent Offices Bill, but we are waiting for the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to come back, so ...

7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the following laws are now with all concerned agencies, including the Office of the Attorney-General: The Supreme Court Bill, The Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, The Ombudsman Bill, The Elections Bill, The Human Rights Bill, and The Gender and Equality Bill. We are quite proud of this, and we hope that Parliament will, next week, approve a Procedural Motion seeking to fast-track The Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission Bill in terms of publication, so that we can pass it into law because Parliament has already looked at it, and debated it.

7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
With the work that has already been done, I hope that when the Ocampo Six and their supporters come back from The Hague, instead of running around praying, they will cancel the rallies and bring the energy they have to the House, because we are now working on Article 50(9), so that we can bring to this House a law for the rights of victims of crime. God listens to one prayer. You do not have to pray a million times. I also want to plead with the church ministers who were praying for them to pray a little more ...

7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was very embarrassed to watch a huge rally in Afraha Stadium, where Kenyans were sitting in tents without food or water. Those were churchmen praying for leaders in this country but not a single Internally Displaced Person (IDP) was prayed for. No single victim of the post-election violence or a family that lost a loved one or a woman who was raped, was prayed for. It is embarrassing that we can go and pray at Afraha Stadium. I hope that when they come back and go to pray at Uhuru Park, they will remember the ...

23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to draw the attention of my very good learned friend. While I respect the views he has in this amendment that this amendment will violate the Constitution, the definitions of the key officers of both the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the High Court is already contained in the Constitution. For example, if you look at Article 164 on page 104 of the Constitution, you will find that it says that there shall be a President of the Court of Appeal who shall be elected by the judges of the ...
