• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 25 be amended by deleting subclause (2) and substituting therefor the following new subclause- view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: “(2) A judge or magistrate who- (a) elects to leave the judicial service voluntarily shall be entitled to a golden handshake and terminal benefits for early retirement; or (b) is found unsuitable after vetting shall be entitled to terminal benefits for early retirement.” The proposed amendment seeks to provide that the judges or magistrates who may choose not to go through vetting be given a golden handshake besides their terminal benefits for early retirement. The second part is to confirm that whoever is found unsuitable after the vetting shall be entitled to terminal benefits for early retirement. The main idea ... view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the case of KARI land which had been set aside for public interest of research----. I can confirm that for the greater Kiambu zone, it is from this research that seeds are meant to be developed and which should be utilized by farmers, but as a result of this allocation to personal interest, there is even no adequate land for any further research to be carried out. Can the Ministry confirm that it is going to revert these parcels of lands to public interest at whatever cost? These private interests must pave way for the greater public ... view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister explain where the money for those constituencies that are, for one reason or another, unable to utilize their allocation based on the restrictive principles goes to? What criteria is used to allocate that money to other areas? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. First, I would want to commend the Chairman for ably moving the Motion. I would only wish to indicate that the process of vetting the candidates for the JSC went on smoothly. This is the first time we are vetting members of the JSC and there are new issues coming up. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the most notable challenge is presented by the candidates we identified. The candidature of Ahmednassir as well as that of Ms. Catherine Mwangangi from the Law Society of Kenya presented the challenge of ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to acknowledge the eloquent manner in which the Chair of the Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs has moved the Motion. He has moved the Motion and I am rising to second it. As is well known in the public domain, the work of IIBRC has, at the end of the day, subjected this country to a controversy in terms of sharing the 80 new constituencies. By the nature of the exercise that this Commission was given to undertake, it ended up as a divisive exercise. This was borne out by the fact ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other one was the issue of protected constituencies. The way they handled the protected constituencies was not consistent. In some situations, they redistributed the constituencies, for instance, in Kiharu and Makueni. In other cases, they left them intact merely because they considered them protected. The challenge is about consultation. There was clearly no sufficient consultation. This is brought out by the fact that the moment they published the first Gazette Notice, objections were raised. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not opposing this Motion. The main drift of the Motion is to adopt the report, subject to the following. I am only highlighting the issues which are the subject to which we are doing these amendments. These are major concerns that need to be addressed as we move forward. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. They are, indeed, contained in the report. I am raising the issues of population quota and consultation. All I am highlighting in my contribution is the impact of these issues. They were not without impact in terms of the work of the IIBRC. They need to be addressed if we will have consensus and the way forward as far as the new constituencies are concerned. I was trying to highlight these things, which have been captured clearly by the consultants we were using. In terms of the methodology, some constituencies were within the range ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are trying to bring forward a solution. When you are trying to build consensus, you do not exclude certain concerns raised and think that by carrying forward one side of the story, you will be moving forward. view
