• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this proposed amendment. I would give three reasons why, in my view, we should not even entertain this proposed amendment. One, what we are passing here today is an ordinary Act of Parliament. The Constitution is superior to an Act of Parliament. The Constitution is very clear that no criminal or civil suits can be preferred against the President while in office. So, in the first place, this is actually against the Constitution on the face of it. Secondly, the purpose of domesticating international agreements is exactly to make sure that ... view

• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a negotiated Bill by all the stakeholders involved in the accountancy profession.

• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied and I am just finishing. I am saying that now that the Attorney-General is in the mood of domesticating international agreements, we have so many of them that we have not domesticated in this country, which Kenya has ratified. I would like to ask him to bring them to this House so that we can domesticate them. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to thank the Minister for having successfully brought The Accountants Bill to fruition. In this case, our thanks go to the former Minister, hon. Kimunya, who was really instrumental in bringing this Bill to this House. He is an Accountant himself. In fact, just before this debate, I had talked to the prominent accountants in this House, including hon. Jamleck Kamau, hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, hon. Amos Kimunya and hon. George Thuo. They have really agreed that this is also a milestone in the history of this country. The accountants now for the ... view
