• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take that responsibility. I will try to get the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that fact. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you will forgive me, I think it is a matter of record that the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security is dealing with the emergency in Samburu. Although I have not checked this morning whether he is around, I wish you could allow me the same indulgence as you did with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance so that I can call him to come and deal with this. Kindly, call out the Questions for the third round once you call them for the second time if you do not mind. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stand to oppose this Motion I want to highlight a number of things. The first one is that the two Committees - I say this with complete respect and humility - have deliberately left out the single most important section of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, Chapter 2. That is Section 34. I would like to ask hon. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: By an Act of Parliament, hon. Michuki. That is what it says. “Except where the context otherwise requires, any powers conferred upon Parliament by this Constitution to establish, provide for or prescribe any matter or thing shall be exercisable by Act of Parliament.” We passed Section 8 of the Anti-Corruption law and we established Third Schedule.

At that point in time under Section 8, we said that the ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so I hear. I want to say this with a lot of humility. The fact that Section 51 says what the Committee has quoted, it cannot apply to the circumstances here, because, as I have said, under Section 123(6), Parliament can only act through an Act of Parliament. When you pass a resolution, what that section says--- I have a lot of respect for the principle of supremacy of Parliament. That supremacy is derived from the Constitution and it is driven by law, and not by what any person may think or do. Let me give ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many, and more issues that I would have wanted to raise, I beg to oppose. view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendment. view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: One of the things that is clear is that this country should be governed by law. The amendment seeks to bring that to bear. Hon. Members have read the Report very carefully. One of the things that is very striking in writing the Report, the Task Force and I want to salute them, did not at any time, cite those particular laws. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have been happy to see a reference to the sections that we have now inserted by amendment. It would have informed that the Task Force was aware of those particular laws, particularly Sections ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for noticing me. But I am not the Leader of Government Business and so long as this House does not have a Leader of Government Business, I am really at a loss. But I have a lot of time for the hon. Minister. I will alert her that you were looking for her. I am sure she will present herself as quickly as possible. Thank you. view
