• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with Hon. Mulu because in the Constitution and all the statutory enactments, the word used is “Parliament”. So, the distinction does not make sense but it may be because of the fear they have. Hon. Tonui said that the Senate should not be involved. I oppose and say that it should be involved because this affects the counties. There is no way you can rule them out even if we do not like them. The word “Parliament” should have been the right word and not the two names. The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I oppose this Senate amendment because it will bring conflict between counties, especially when the mining company is operating in two counties. How will they share that property? That will bring conflict. I oppose this amendment. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I agree with him on this one. At the end of the day, there should be a mechanism for review of decisions. You cannot lock out administrative actions of a CS. It is also going to save time and costs. You cannot just tell people to go to the High Court; agreements themselves are self-regulatory, and there are provisions for arbitration. So, locking out that mechanism was wrong by the Senate. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would also like to support the Leader of the Majority Party and my colleagues who have spoken before me. I think this was an oversight on our part because we are supposed to protect the Constitution and defend it. I believe that we have responsible journalists and they know what they are doing in their profession. The only people whom we should guard against are the quacks who are out there to tarnish people’s names. We should not go to their level. We should actually defend the Constitution as much as we can. ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to add my voice in support of the Bill. I believe it is a timely Bill. The Bill is going to be effective for both the dispensers and consumers of justice. For a long time since the Judiciary was introduced in Kenya, we have had many problems especially when it came to the management of cases. The organisation of the High Court that is envisioned in the Bill is clearly a very important step. The appointment of the Principal Judge in itself spreads the responsibilities beyond the Chief Justice. It will create ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The other issue is on distribution of stations of the court. As I have said, there will be a Presiding Judge appointed by the Chief Justice. The most important thing is that the Deputy- Registrar will be responsible to the Presiding Judge in the discharge of the functions of the Office such that it is not just a matter of cases but a matter of administration so that the running of the courts can be more efficient. This will enable us have professionals running the administration. It is something we should all support. The other very important issue is on ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: of geographical problems, preferential problems and social problems people might not access justice. People in this country will be assisted the moment we have mobile courts. We also have the establishment of the High Court Advisory Committee which allows them to co-opt any other person as a member. This is very important because we have always had an isolated court that was a kind of a no-go zone for ordinary people. However, now that we are establishing the Advisory High Court Committee, it will ensure that the court hears and knows what the feeling on the ground is. It is ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: There is also the case of performance contracting in Clause 29. In the past, we had duty judges. There was one particular judge who was being used by the regime. He was called Dugdale. He was a duty judge for more than two years. I now believe that this Bill is going to operationalize most operations of the court. It will create a situation where the judges will do their jobs. If they do not do their jobs then, definitely, they will not have performed and they will definitely be removed from presiding over the courts. view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: There is also the important issue of protection of judges and judicial officers from personal liability such that, when they are carrying out their duties, they will, at all times, be protected so that they do not suffer from the vagaries of judicial dissatisfaction and all those kind of things. view
