They breached the Constitution by interfering with investigations through directing the police not to arrest and charge persons suspected to have pilfered Kshs72 million from the ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Committee considered this petition and resolved to amalgamate the two petitions, so that they can be considered together as the two petitions raise more or less similar issues.

• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we also received memoranda in both oral and written submissions from one Bryan Yongo, who appeared before the Committee and made submissions. His document is titled “In the Matter of Petition by Bryan Yongo pursuant to Section 251(2) of the Constitution to the National Assembly against Ahmednassir Abdulahi, Commissioner, Judicial Service Commission”. This one was very particular about one person in which the petition claimed that the said Ahmednassir Abdullahi, Commissioner should be removed as he is incompetent. He does not have the capacity to have been appointed in the first instance as a JSC member. Indeed, he ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to make corrections to the documents that have been photocopied. In Annex “B”, there is a letter from the Inspector-General (IG) of Police. In that letter, there is only page one and page two. There is a second page that is missing. When I looked at this, this did not tally with the letter that was submitted to us by the IG of Police. It is missing page two which is very critical in this report. So, that is why I said that in the photocopying of these documents, we have had some difficulties. In ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The Committee considered the petition from Riungu Nicholas and it invited, as I have stated, a written response from the persons that were named.

We requested the Clerk to send letters to all the named persons that were intended to be removed by the petition so that they can respond to the petitions. Hon. Speaker, the Clerk wrote letters on 17th October, 2013 to hon. Justice Mohammed Warsame, Judicial Service Commission (JSC). A letter also dated 17th October ... view

• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. It is unfortunate that when I bend, my vocal codes have a problem and the microphone is too low. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. The Leader of Majority Party has made a great attempt to respond to the serious Statement I requested. Again, as I said earlier, this was not a pedantic Statement in which I was requesting an answer. This is a serious Statement about the law, and I expected the Kenya Defence Forces to have taken it extremely seriously. To merely quote Justice Musinga, who happens to be a former classmate--- He has heavily quoted matters of God; as you know this is not a moral The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
