• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: This is the information for the Prime Minister. It is not for anybody else. It is up to him to use it or not. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, the fact of that matter is that a withdrawal of Kenya from the Rome Statute does not solve the problem that we have. The Germans who were prosecuted during the Nuremberg Trials, in fact, the Rome Statute had not yet been executed. In fact, the son of Tailor was arrested by the United States and he was subjected to prosecution under customary international criminal law. The Kenyans whom we may think ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want editorial. You can always answer yourself if you ask, so what? I am afraid, this Motion should never, and I am not criticizing it, have seen your approval because it violates the Constitution. I so move. view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has not only been screened, but I have also been screened. I am surprised that the Government Chief Whip is suspicious of my briefcase and yet hon. Uhuru Kenyatta comes to the Chamber with briefcases all the time during Budget Day. The material I have is required by the business I am required to deal with today like the Human Rights Report by the Kenya Commission on Human Rights and so on. So, it is not harmful and I am prepared to open the briefcase for Mr. Midiwo, if he wants to look at it. view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I read the reply, I want to apologise to the hon. Member because I only supplied the written answer in the course of the morning due to circumstances beyond my control. I beg to reply. (a)The judges who have been dealing with the Kamukunji Constituency petition have not been transferred out of their station. The matter has, however, been handled by several judges following successful applications made to the judges to disqualify themselves for one reason or another. The provisions of the law have been complied with in every such instance. Concerning the Kitutu Masaba petition, ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Ministry shares that concern because going by press reports, one would conclude that parties to litigation in Kenya are beginning to do what is famously known as judge hunting. For the benefit of the House, judge hunting is a practice whereby a party who has a matter pending before a judge thinks that they can manipulate the judges by making allegations against the judge thereby forcing the judge to excuse himself. Judges will normally excuse themselves only in circumstances where they feel that by proceeding to preside over the case, then justice will not be done, ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank the hon. Member for Ikolomani Constituency hon. Dr. Khalwale for the request that he made for a Ministerial Statement on 17th November, 2010, regarding the official Government position on Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) and specifically, his request touched on five items. Let me repeat them for the record. (i) He wanted to know the official position of the Government towards the TJRC, in view of the happenings that bedevilled this Commission since its inception. (ii) Whether statements attributed to Cabinet Ministers on funding or disbanding of the TJRC is ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start with the issues raised by hon. Affey and assure him that, speaking as line Ministry, I have never believed that The Indemnity Act (Repeal) Bill as framed would facilitate proper functioning of the TJRC. Having said that, I have also seen the memorandum that has come from His Excellency the President, and I think it is up to Parliament to deal with it, so that the people of North Eastern Province, and other areas of the country, can know that The Indemnity Act would not be a hindrance to finding the truth. ... view
