• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take the opportunity to thank the Minister for doing a good job on this timely Bill. I would like to say that the economy of a country depends on the welfare of its workers. Economic growth depends on the attention the plight of workers is given. In my view, the court, once formed, will address all those concerns. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I fully support the formation of the court. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me start by thanking the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for his tireless effort in presenting these important Bills in this House. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: It is notable that our correctional facilities have been congested for too long and it is, therefore, important that we support the formation of this Committee to review the various cases committed by this people. We need to have increased centres in the country and the prisoners must undergo counselling and proper training so that when they come out they will be useful citizens in our country. We have seen time and again those who have been given clemency by the President become dangerous criminals. So, there is need for thorough training and rehabilitation. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: We want these people to undergo thorough training so that when they come out they are useful to the society. I recall Kiriamiti who at one time led a very dangerous robbery at Bata Shoe Factory but today is a pastor. This means that he underwent through a very serious rehabilitation programme and now he is a very useful member in our society. He has started a church and he is converting very many people. This is the way we should handle this programme in our country. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: We have seen criminals being released and this should not happen in our country. With the composition of this Committee, it is important that we consider the church element so that they can also participate in this very important committee. As to when this Committee will be meeting, it is not indicated. In order to decongest our prisons, time must be regulated so that we can free these people. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Therefore, I wish to very seriously support the formation of this Committee and authority to govern correctional facilities in our society. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me start by thanking the Minister for the very candid manner in which he handled this Bill in this House. Secondly, I wish to encourage the Minister to continue fighting the corruption vice that used to be experienced in the Ministry. In addition, I would also like to thank the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources, Mr. Michuki, for rehabilitating Nairobi River. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, under Article 4, it is provided that the principal judge will enjoy a five-year term. This, to me, is wastage of human capital and resource. The term must be renewable at five years. Therefore, the judge should be in office for ten years. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: This court, after establishment, will address the various concerns different communities have voiced in this country. The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Ndorobos and Ogiek have been displaced for ages, and this court will have the first major responsibility of addressing their issues. Land disputes triggering murders in certain families will also be addressed. We have land grabbing mania in Athi River. I recall that the Office of the President issued a directive to people not to continue buying land in that area. Therefore, this new court will go to Athi River to address some of those concerns. view
