• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you should know that “Government” is amorphous. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know that the sovereign power rests with the people of Kenya. All Kenyans including the Members of Parliament are in the Government. I am also expressing the will of the Government. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my only worry is one; yes, we should vet them because that is very important. However, in the process, we must know that the Commission that will be exiting already had some work it was doing. It will also be important to know for sure that as they transit, there is somebody to take custody of property and assets including exhibits. We have to be careful that the Commission that is coming in must be able to come and do its work without delay. It should not take forever for the Commission to recruit these officers. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support the amendment. The reason we are bringing in the new Commission is not that we are here witch-hunting and wanting to throw those in office out of the office. There must be continuity and proper handing over. Even today when a Minister or Permanent Secretary leaves office--- view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I said that we should not be seen to--. The truth of the matter is that we all support these amendments, but there must be a handing over process. Even if you want to remove a Permanent Secretary or Minister from office, there must be a process. So, what we are asking is that there must be safeguards, so that there is proper handover. Already, we are removing five senior officers from that Commission. So, there must be a way of making sure that we protect what was there for proper continuity. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy, Sir, Clause 46, on recall of Members of Parliament, is very clear. You must go to court in order for you to make sure that you recall a Member of Parliament. We can only delete paragraph 5, which provides that the Member is supposed to go and report progress of the Committees and the Reports of the House. If you cannot fulfil those conditions, you are unfit to be a Member of Parliament. On the issue of elections offences, as provided for from Clause 57 onwards, it is important that we thoroughly educate our people, so that ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I congratulate the Minister for having been able to push this Bill through. However, it is important for us to know that as much as we have got the document now, what we fought for 10, 15 or 20 years ago was a battle in futility. In the first place, even the Political Parties Act that we have would have served us even in a better way than what we have passed here today. It is also important for Kenyans to know that through this Act, we have now legitimized political tourism. You can ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Lastly, after elections, Kenyans should be ready for coalitions even more than even the experts of coalitions like Israel and other democracies. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to oppose this amendment. If we allow it to pass, at the end of the day, we will not have achieved much. We cannot be doing some renovation and, at the same time, pretending that we are constructing everything afresh, then we are just going back to the old days. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to oppose. view
