• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I am not debating, Hon. Speaker. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: They were just making faces so I was just alluding to their faces. They were grimacing and I thought you needed to take notice of them. On a concrete note, my Motion is pending before a Committee which you Chair. I want to request that, that matter be brought to the House so that we can debate it substantively. view

I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House today Tuesday, 23rd February 2016:- The Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on its consideration of the Presidential Memorandum on the Small Claims Court Bill, 2015.

• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. You know I was listening very carefully and it is only that I had gone to pick some documents. It is just that my good friend, hon. Linturi was misleading the House. So, as I was walking in, I assumed that my good friend, hon. Jakoyo was also misleading the House. Fortunately, for the first time, he has spoken the truth today. He knows that our good President has actually appointed a tribunal chaired by Sharad Rao himself. As you know, he was the former Chair of the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Linturi was totally out of order. The only thing that I totally disagree with both of them is to imagine that Professor Githu Muigai does not understand the law. It is they, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: themselves, who do not understand the law. As the Chair of Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, I have not seen anywhere, where Professor Githu Muigai needs to be advised or misadvised otherwise. The Attorney-General is well grounded in law. He taught me jurisprudence and you know that is philosophy of law. For someone to teach philosophy of law, he must be well grounded in law. By the way, for your information hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, when he taught me, I scored an “A.” So, I have no doubt that I have got good brains. To get an “A”, you must be ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: In fact, as a Committee, we do not have a problem with the Attorney-General. There is no advice that he has given which we think, in our opinion and view, is misguided in any way. He is well grounded in law. He will give advice but; as to whether the advice is taken or not, it is the responsibility of the person who has been advised. So, you cannot argue that the Attorney- General has not given any advice. If Hon. Members feel he has not given any advice, it is their duty to invoke the Standing Orders, come up ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed the indomitable Hon. Katoo has brought out the very salient features of the Report that the President tabled in the House last year. I would like to mention a few things that the President mentioned while tabling this Report which I think are key and important. The President mentioned that he is committed to the full implementation of the Constitution. He pointed out in particular important articles in the Constitution that deal with national values and principles of governance as enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution that requires that all State organs, State officers, ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country continues in its quest to ensure we have good governance to have a strong national identity, effective representation that will provide good leadership, equitable allocation of resources and opportunities, good governance and sustainable development in this country. That has been the key guiding principles that the Jubilee Government has continued to pursue since the President spoke to this House last year. The Government has continued to pursue a very enlightened policy with regard to national prosecution policy that provides guidelines on prosecution through enshrining that the rights of arrested persons are safeguarded and accorded ... view
