• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: question, neither is it a divine question that requires divine intervention. This was a Statement that required legal intervention. Section 28(3) of the Kenya Defence Forces Act contains mandatory terms that do not give them leeway. Let me just read for the benefit of the Leader of Majority Party. Section 28(3) states: “The Defence Council shall advertise the chances allocated per county as least thirty days before recruitment”. From the little law that has been bestowed on us by God, as Justice Musinga may have said, and the cases that have been decided in this country, it is very clear ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: No, this is a serious clarification. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I have read both. Sections 48 and 49 do not say subject to Section 28(3). They do not make reference to Section 28(3). This is a mandatory provision. Parliament meant that the KDF or the Defence Council must observe them at all times. So, is the Leader of Majority Party in order to give us a Statement that he knows is contrary to the law? In fact, it is in contravention of the law. I may be in order to seek an adjournment of this House to discuss this very serious matter. As you know, this affects ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to thank the Leader of my Majority Party. As you know, we belong not only to the same coalition but to the same party. view

• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I totally concur with hon. Duale that this matter be referred to the Committee and we will look at the law. I am sure it was passed when there were lights in this House. It was not too dark not to see it. So, I want to thank hon. Duale for passing this law anyway, which opens up the recruitment and makes it transparent. You know what we are looking for is transparency and accountability. I think that is all. We are not seeking to blame people. We are just looking at a situation where we can say there was ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, pursuant to Standing Order No.83 and No.107. Is the Member of Parliament for Suna in order to make a sweeping allegations against chairpersons of very able committees in this House, when he participated in electing a number of these chairpersons? He states that some of them behave like Cabinet Secretaries! I would like to inform my good friend, hon. Nuh, that I have been in Government before and I have not seen any chairperson purporting to be a Cabinet Secretary here. In fact, they happily participate in committees as chairs. So, that is a sweeping ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: sought that position. I would probably have thought of voting for him, but he never sought it. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
