The urgency of this Bill is that this matter was decided by this House to extend it by three months. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court made a decision the ... view

• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.5 of 2016) be now read a Second Time. Hon. Speaker, this is a Bill that seeks to extend the term of the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board by three months. The Board appeared before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that had a retreat in Mombasa. They discussed the pending matters. The Committee considered the issues that were outstanding and felt that the Board should be granted additional three months within which to conclude those matters pending before it. ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: persons that are being vetted the right of appeal or review of their matters. All the 29 persons that were vetted applied for review. Those matters are pending for review, as we speak. Hon. Justice Ombija was also vetted the other day as required by the Supreme Court. The matter was concluded. He was found to be unsuitable but he has seven days within which to appeal. He has a right of appeal or review. All those matters must be disposed of. They cannot be disposed of within the time that this House allowed the Board to conclude the business ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It is a requirement in law that once the Board concludes all their matters they must prepare a report which they must bring to this House for consideration. So, to allow them to prepare that report they need, at least, three months which we agreed as a Committee to grant. So, we are seeking that this House agrees with the Committee. It is a requirement in law that the Board must archive all the works that they have done. All the investigations they have carried out, the decisions they have made, the reviews they have conducted must be archived for ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I am urging this House that we expeditiously process this matter so that we can allow them to conclude the matters by 30th June, this year. Three months is not inordinately too much time. It is fairly reasonable considering the work that they are undertaking and considering that it touches on the rights of people. So, I am pleading with this House that we grant them that extension. With those remarks, I beg to move and request the Member for Ndhiwa, Hon. Aghostinho Neto to second. view

• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 83. As you know, I have a proposal to amend these Standing Orders. The proposal is supported by more than 50 Members of Parliament but it has been pending for the last six months. I have not received any response despite our Standing Orders being very clear that the matter must have been considered by the House Rules Committee within 30 days. I am aware that the Committee was given an extension of another 30 days. I believe that period also lapsed. I need your direction so that this ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Standing Orders were to be made for the orderly conduct of meetings; not for discipline of Members. If there is a Standing Order that is inconsistent with the Constitution, it must be dealt with. Removing a Member from a committee as disciplinary action by a party does not fall within Article 124 of the Constitution. Such action is not for the orderly conduct of the proceedings of the Committee. Standing Order Nos. 19 and 176 are inconsistent with the Constitution. Another thing is that, under Article 95 of the Constitution, every Member of Parliament is elected to represent a ... view
