• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: cannot be overstated. It was also to give more funding to the Attorney-General’s Office to--- view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: ( Inaudible ) view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We need to consider certain things. The Government is notorious for ensuring that contracts run out, last and go over a year. When a contract has ended and they are supposed to retender, the award letters will come a year later. So, there is a price difference for one full year? We need to take into account certain blockages that have been in the system that prevent people from ensuring that they are awarded their contracts on time. If we are not going to legislate that if a tender is put in the newspaper ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: when the person is awarded with the prices you gave a year ago, of course, things will have changed, so what happens then? view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to support the amendment on the undue regard to technicalities in matters of judicial review. Administrative action is subject to judicial review by courts. We have to let our courts practise judicial review. There was reason why the Bill strengthens the judicial review procedural. However, as we strengthen the judicial review procedure in courts, removing the regard to technicality is welcome, because it is what defeats most judicial review actions that we have seen. I really want to support that we have judicial review, but without undue regard to procedural technicalities, so that people who want to challenge ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendments by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. On the sub-clause (1) we are bringing clarity to the law by removing unnecessary words which the Committee did not find were adding value to the text of the clause, and allowing judicial review to be done by the court without pursuing any other clauses that have been referred to in the Bill. On the second part, I want to support the addition of monetary compensation. Sometimes Governmental actions that infringe on your right require compensation that ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on the Petition for Removal of two Commissioners of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday April 21, 2015, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 251(3) of the Constitution and Standing Order 230(5), finds that the Petition does disclose sufficient grounds for the removal of Mr. Mumo Matemu and Ms. Irene Keino as Commissioners of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. The Departmental Committee on ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: underperforming in several areas without leadership since September 2011. The morale of the staff was extremely low and many senior staff had resigned. The desperate situation needed urgent intervention. They embarked on several measures that were supposed to aid the Commission. They sought a legal opinion from the Attorney General on the question of their acting and that was allowed. But on the challenges, which is where I want to spend a little bit more time, this is what the two persons had to say:- “We wish to bring to your attention our displeasure in the leadership of the person ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the letter is quite detailed on what the two Commissioners wrote to the President. In conclusion, they asked His Excellency the President, knowing his desire to fight corruption, to take action on the Chairperson, Mr. Mumo Matemu. The letter was signed by Ms. Irene Keino and Prof. Jane Onsongo detailing what we have found to be a Commission that is riddled in many problems and a Commission that has no leadership. Mr. Mumo Matemu has failed to offer leadership to the Commission. We have also, in the Committee, looked at the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) Report that ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: were also grave allegations of impropriety by some EACC officials through alleged acquisition of houses allegedly donated or facilitated by the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) at a time when the body was under investigation. The letter is also part of the bundle. We want to look at the last paragraph on page 3 where the CAJ found out that Mr. Michael Kamau Mubea knowingly misled the CAJ investigators to believe that he was not aware and did not sign a contract with a basic salary starting from Kshs400,000 with an annual increment of five per cent. The CAJ came ... view
