• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, arising from what I have said, one cannot dismiss the Cabinet. Therefore, even the Attorney-General himself, in preparing these Bills, will still have to work with the Executive, extended by Section 3 of Schedule 6. It simply means, and I stand to be corrected--- Luckily you are such an able lawyer among other things, I am sure you will see where I am going. Are we saying that the Attorney-General can sit in his office together with the Commission on Implementation, draft the Bills, publish them, bring them to the House without consulting the Executive, comprising the ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, my argument begs your finding that the position I am advocating is correct. Notwithstanding the words “monitor”, “facilitate” and “oversee the development,” the fact of the matter is that the policy that generates Article 1, Article 2 and Article 3, will for the time being, until we have fresh elections, still be sourced from the various Ministries recognized by the National Accord and Reconciliation Act. I cannot see it being done otherwise. My arrangement - and I do not mind it saying because it is not a secret - we have agreed with the Attorney-General that ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my argument, therefore, remains that the position is that, I am the right person to present this Bill and two others that I will bring because I am the line Minister for the Judiciary, justice system and issues pertaining to legal policy. I am afraid, I have the skills, manpower, resources and the interest to continue generating these Bills. Once they go through the First Reading, if anybody in Kenya thinks that they want to carry them forward, they are free to do so. They can adopt them and present them, improve and work on them. But ... view

• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: This matter is very important. The hon. Dr. Kosgei who was in the House drew my attention to the request by my learned friend, hon. Mungatana. I then followed up the same, through the HANSARD. I collected the HANSARD. It is clear to me that and I have written a letter to you, as well as to the Leader of Government Business and I have sent copies to hon. Mungatana that the line Minister for international crimes under the International Crimes Act is hon. Prof. Saitoti. The only other Minister mentioned is the hon. Attorney-General. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I drew the attention of the Cabinet Sub-Committee to this matter and it has been agreed that we ask this hon. House to give us indulgence that a statement be read by hon. Prof. Saitoti on Thursday, next week, so that the matter can be put in its correct perspective. I so beg. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I am sorry for going so much in detail, but I have an obligation to be forthright. I have even given a copy to hon. Mungatana. If he has not seen it, I undertake to make sure that he gets these correspondences, including the statement of my Ministry to the United Nations Human Right Commission on this particular issue because I also raised it. So, I beg the indulgence of the House. The ICC will not go away. But we, as a Committee, decided that we are clear, forthright and, above all, accurate. So, the statement will be read by ... view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that I require to be gagged with regard to my docket which is the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. I speak on the International Criminal Court (ICC) from the perspective of justice. When the House requires that perspective, I will give it. I do not think I ought to be gagged because the suspects, witnesses and victims of the post-election violence are Kenyans and are entitled to hear from me, once in a while, on what the justice of the matter is. view
