• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, it is Clause 5(4). I want to oppose the proposed deletion because it is very clear that we distinguish the functions of the Commission and the Secretariat as outlined in the earlier Bill presented to the House. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I oppose the amendment. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (b) of subclause (2) by inserting the word “post-graduate” immediately after the words “holds a”. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the reason for this amendment is actually very bold. I just want those who are going to hold constitutional offices in Kenya to know that there would be no more free lunch in this country. There can only be one chairperson of the Commission. That is because we have too many graduates in this country, we are telling them that if you want to be the only one to hold such a high office in the country, then you must also spend more time in school.

I request the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs that since this is procedural if we could include this clause in this amendment in the related Bills for related Commissions. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, it is also good that as a House we are consistent because this is not the first time we are proposing an amendment. The intention is not really to control the Commission. The Commission’s actions have far-reaching effects on Kenyans. What is really difficult in asking them to bring their regulations here for approval? I do not think there is a problem.
