• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: House, we will be in recess that time. So, we will not have the constitutional amendment filed before it is time-barred. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: If we do not put in place procedures to ensure that we comply with Article 27 (8), it means that this House, together with the Senate, will be unconstitutional as from 27th August, 2015. The consequence is that any Kenyan can seek the dissolution of the two Houses for failing to comply with a constitutional requirement. The National Assembly, as it is right now, does not have the one-third gender, particularly of women who are fewer than one-third. view

We want them to complete the vetting by 31st December, 2015. The third other issue is that these Chief Magistrates and Principal Magistrates cannot be promoted to be judges because they have not been vetted. So, they are suffering silently because of this particular provision that was put in this Act. So, I move that the time be reduced to allow the committees to hold public participation during our recess. I ... view
