• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: This is just an explanation! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are seeking that, at least you be told that, "we are going to court tomorrow or one hour to say that your property is the proceeds of some money which has been stolen". Then I can come to court and say, "but I got my loan from the National October 4, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4373 Assembly and bought my property". That is all we are saying, unless there is some malice to destroy some people in this country. view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the President's recommendation on this one but with some reservations. This is because we are referring here to the Chairman, or any other designated official of a political party. I would have rather we referred to the leader of that political party in the National Assembly. What we are actually referring to here is actually the leader of the parliamentary group of that party, and not necessarily the chairman. As you know, we have had problems with chairmen who are not Members of Parliament, trying to determine what happens in the House from ... view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am not bringing any amendment. I am just saying that I wish the Attorney-General himself, because he has those powers, could amend this proposal to refer to "the leader of the political party in the National Assembly". view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think this Bill was discussed very broadly. I think it was a product of a lot of consultation. This clause was deliberately put in there; that the Government shall be bound. I think it was even not necessary to put it there because all the Bills that we pass, which become laws, are actually Bills originated from the Government. The Government cannot bring Bills here and then say that they will not bind them, because then there is 4088 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 20, 2007 no need of Parliament. So, a Government should not bring ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have read the amendment. Are we dealing with Section 11A? view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Okay! Thank you! view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, unless an indecent act is defined somewhere else, this is a very vague thing! To say that any person who commits an indecent act with an adult--- What is an "indecent act" with an adult? If it is defined somewhere, we will be comfortable. But if it is not, then we cannot accept it! view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: In fact, Dr. Kituyi--- view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let us look at the spirit of the recommittal. If the Attorney-General is correct that the spirit was right, except that the drafting was such that it could be construed to be unconstitutional or interpreted as unconstitutional or in conflict with Section 40 of the Constitution, then he should have brought an amendment that captures the spirit and which is within the Constitution. By merely deleting this amendment, it is September 13, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3955 taking us where we do not want to be. This House does not just move in a certain direction. ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, just to finish what I was saying, if it is hon. Muturi who was supposed to recommit this amendment and explain to us why he now wants to recommit it, of course, we would have asked him to bring an appropriate amendment. The way he may have agreed with the Attorney-General would capture the spirit and would have been within the framework of the four corners of the Constitution. However, Mr. Muturi is not here! In normal circumstances, when there is nobody to move a Motion, it collapses. We cannot then listen to the Attorney-General ... view
