• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Board will take charge of those academic programmes right from the initial process, then I am confident that technologists and technicians who graduate from those institutions will not be half baked. Definitely, they will be technologists and technicians that this country can rely on. Lastly, I wish to speak about the issue of licensing. I realise in this particular Bill that there is need for certain requirements to be made before licencing is granted. In the legal profession, for every subsequent year you want to acquire a practising certificate, you also have to undergo the continuous legal education. In this ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to thank Hon. Ochieng for donating one minute to me. I want to support this Bill. In my view, once this Bill has been passed, it is going to bring clarity. It will determine a certain issue in elections. It is a national issue. People should not look at it as if the election date is changed, or is meant to be self-serving. I also want to believe that once the election date is moved to December, this will provide ample opportunity for political parties to prepare and voters to ... view

• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I wish, from the outset, to support this Motion as amended and equally thank Hon. Waluke for having brought it. No doubt, security is very important for the political, economic and social development of this nation. It is true, as stated in the Motion, that officers are trained with taxpayers’ money. It is important that, having received such training, they give back to the public. If this Motion sails through and is implemented, it will serve so many things. First, it is likely to maintain a stable force. We are going to ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my experience, in terms of prosecutions in court, is that there are so many experts in different fields. For instance, in the area of examination of documents, we used to have a situation in this country where we had one person who would examine documents. He was the chief document examiner in this country. Those who go to court must have realized that they would go to court one day and find that the particular document examiner was attending court proceedings in Kisumu or Mombasa. So, the case would have to be adjourned for, say, three months ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I sincerely support the Motion. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I wish to support the vetting of Judges and Magistrates (Amendment) Bill. When the process of vetting commenced in this country, it actually instilled confidence to the consumers of justice. What subsequently happened is that we saw very many cases being taken to court by those who had actually been vetted. As a result, it appeared like the process of vetting had actually lost direction. But most importantly, whenever you wish or subject people to vetting, it is important that the process takes place as fast as possible. This is because if ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Once a hearing has commenced and a determination has not been made, it is important that the time has to be extended up to the time when that particular determination is made. Many Magistrates have been thrown out as a result of this vetting. There are also stations where there has been a serious shortage of magistrates. The other day, we heard about Mombasa lawyers complaining bitterly about the absence of --- view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Wamalwa for raising that matter. This is the Member for Kaloleni. I hope that will now be reflected correctly. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, what I was saying is that as a result of this vetting, there are stations that have been heavily affected in terms of the number of magistrates. The other time we had cases of lawyers in Mombasa complaining bitterly about the shortage of these magistrates. So, it is important that this exercise is completed in good time so that those who are found guilty are shown the door while those who will be cleared can continue discharging their duties to the public. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view
