• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: A marriage under this part shall be officiated by a Kadhi, Sheikh or even as may be authorized by the registrar and celebrated in accordance with the Islamic Law. The Islamic Law is in huge volumes; it is not condensed into one particular book. So, what he is suggesting, if the registration part of it is inconsistent, then it is already hosted by Clause 48(iii) which says that anything that is inconsistent with the Islamic Law or jurisprudence, then that particular law or provision does not apply at all. So, we have already taken into account the proposed amendment--- view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I will be very brief. When the amendments that were proposed by the Leader of the Majority Party were brought before the Speaker, we were asked as a Committee to consider them, and we did so. When we met, we thought we should not interfere with the general provisions that are contained in the Act, because they apply to the Christian, Hindu, customary and civil marriages. What we then proposed is that we seek to make an amendment under Clause 48 but, unfortunately, it appears that it was skipped. But I intend to move ... view

• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo has looked at hon. Kamama with very menacing eyes. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, hon. Midiow has, in fact, threatened to name him. He said it but you never heard it. I heard it as I was seated here. It is unfair. As you know, he is holding a very senior position in this House. So, I have a lot of respect for him but when he threatens my colleagues, I also feel threatened. Is he in order to intimidate hon. Kamama? view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, I rise to second this Bill - the Kenya Qualifications Framework Bill, 2013. This has come at the right time. It is, in fact, very appropriate. It comes soon after the passage of the new Constitution. So, it is well aligned with the new Constitution.

But this one will be working towards setting the ... view

We have only three cases in this country. We have constitutional, criminal and civil cases. So, when you hear the Chief Justice talk about speeding up political cases, one wonders whether this one falls within what we have ... view
