• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at Section 108 of the current Constitution, it provides for the appointment of members of the Kenya Police Force and has got very elaborate provisions about the discipline; who is holding what rank and how they can be disciplined and so on. I would like to urge the hon. Members that it would be dangerous now to allow individuals, who are not even trained as police officers, to enjoy ranks of senior police officers. That, really, is not the right way to go. The police force is anchored in Section 108 of ... view

• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to seek your guidance here. This is because with regard to this particular Section 23(4), the Question was proposed to the amendments by the Attorney-General and hon. Marende. Hon. Members also contributed to this matter and we voted. In fact, a Division was called and its results have been submitted. At what point in time should these issues be raised? Is it after the House has already gone into Division and the results have been submitted? view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, may I first of all make the point that the concerns which the Committee had expressed on the constitutionality of this Section have actually been accepted by His Excellency the President. We had said that evidence obtained in the manner prescribed in the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, negates the constitutional right to silence, the constitutional presumption of innocent until one is proved guilty and the constitutional right not to self-incriminate; providing evidence against yourself. Therefore, what His Excellence is proposing is that he accepts that in the absence of a clause like this one ... view

• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Bill, and say that human fear of the unknown is always there, and it is understandable. It is a normal human reaction. However, never allow fear to be the dominant consideration, and hold you hostage, so that you do not experiment. You must not experiment carelessly. You must be careful. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the first car was manufactured, the view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is one thing to enact laws. It is quite another to implement those laws. In the benefit of the legislation that we have enacted--- Workers who labour in this country will benefit from the full implementation of the law that we have enacted. So, I appeal to the Minister and the Government to see to it that this new law, which we have now passed, is enacted and fully implemented as quickly as possible, so that the benefits can begin to flow to the workers of this country. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I rise to seek your guidance on how we should proceed so that we are quite clear and we are not confused. You notice that Dr. Manduku is also moving amendments to Clause 3. If you look at page 543, for example, the definition of the employer by the Minister there; which is also the definition of the employer in the amendments proposed by Dr. Manduku. So, I am appealing that we be guided so that there is harmonization. I assume that if we have to pass Dr. Manduku's amendments, ... view
