• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has indicated to this House that this Statement was triggered by the very serious misleading information peddled by the media. What is he doing about the media? Finally, he has also added that KUSCO was given Kshs150 million and to date, it has lent about Kshs95 million. What action is he taking to ensure that the balance reaches the youth in order to create employment for them? view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me start by thanking the new Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. I urge him to continue untiringly performing his duties with zeal the way he is known to have been performing in this House. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I fully support this Bill and hope that the new Chief Justice who was brought in on the platform of reforms will see to it that there are fundamental reforms in the Judiciary. Kenyans expect to see these reforms. The dispensation of justice in this country must be faster. We have seen cases dragging on for decades in this country, particularly the murder cases. Sometimes the suspects stay in remand for many years before their cases are determined. Some stay for more than 20 or 30 years without their cases being heard. It is important ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the vice of corruption in the Judiciary will be addressed by an expanded Judiciary. Currently, the Judiciary is very narrow and has no capacity to address the various cases that are being presented to the courts. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, increasing the number of Court of Appeal Judges from 13 to 14 is a move in the right direction because better services will be rendered to Kenyans. High courts should be established in those areas that have been marginalized for many years. Therefore, raising the number of judges from 70 to 150 is a very timely move. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the vetting of judges is a very desirable move and we support it. Misfits and unsuitable judges must be removed from the Judiciary. The Judiciary, as a vehicle for justice in this country, must be allocated sufficient funds, so that courts can be established in all constituencies in the country. I recall the former Minister had pledged to establish a court of law in Lari Constituency and up to now, it has not been done. I am confident and hopeful that the new Minister will make this a reality. I also hope that the people ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I fully support the Bill. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, while thanking the Assistant Minister for the very positive answer he has given, could he indicate to this House what steps he is taking to rein in on the demonstrations that were agitating for the headquarters to be removed from Chaka to Naromoru? view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Members to issue dangerous threats from the Floor of this House to the incoming County Commissioners, as stated by hon. Shebesh? view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In supporting this Board, I want to indicate that the required reforms in the Police Force will be engineered by this Committee. Time and again, we have noted unnecessary harassment, bribe-taking and the most corrupt force in this country. With credible leadership by the Chairman, Mr. Macharia, who has served in various Committees, we hope that the interest and desires of the Kenyans will be addressed by the new Board. view
