• 7 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Bill did not have the benefit or input of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for reasons that are in public domain. The Supreme Court Bill is helpful. It helps the country to establish the legal infrastructural framework for the operation of the Supreme Court. It is also important to point out that it is not just the Bill that is necessary. Even the process and the other steps that are needed to make that court functional will be equally important. That includes the process of appointing the Chief Justice, the Deputy Chief Justice and also the Supreme ... view

• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to move that:- (i) The second Subclause 7 of the Bill be deleted. (ii) Subclause 8 of the Bill be deleted. The amendment we are seeking on that provision talks about the terms upon which the Secretary to the Commission may be removed from office due to inability to perform his functions of office arising from physical incapacity, gross misconduct, bankruptcy, incompetence and so on. Sub-clause 8 talks about the conditions to be followed before removal and Sub-clause 7 talks about the Secretary being informed in writing of the reasons for removal and so on. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, those provisions have been borrowed word for word, from the provisions of Section 251(1) of the Constitution relating to the removal from office of independent commissions. I am saying that to entrench the position of the Secretary to the level of an independent commission is likely to have prejudicial impact in terms of the relationship between the commissioners and the Chief Secretary. In the other commissions that we have dealt with, like the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), Commission on Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and so on, we have not had occasion to state the terms upon ... view

• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I think there is a misunderstanding by Eng. Gumbo. The point being pushed by Ms. Karua is that we do, in fact, have a procedure for tabling of subsidiary legislation or any regulations in this House. The purpose of tabling them is to give Parliament and opportunity where it wishes to intervene, to actually do so. So, that mechanism already exists and the Committee on Delegated Legislation is already proposing a Bill that will enhance that mechanism very effectively. So, is it in order for him to still insist that we do ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. To expound on the point that the immediate former speaker has raised, my concern is that I do not have any national school in my constituency. However, I am not complaining. What is the key priority as far as this Government is concerned? Is it to expand access to secondary schools by building as many secondary schools as possible or to elevate a few into national school status? view
