• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the President’s Speech. Those of us who have known our President for a long time know that he means well for the people of Kenya. However, he might be surrounded by some of the graduates of KANU whom he may not want to shed off. Those are the people who are trying to drag us backwards. In his Speech, the President said that the new Constitution has renewed our sense of nationhood and given us hope for a bright future. That statement is very clear. We know that the President means ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our Constitution guarantees us the freedom of expression. So, unless you want to suppress my freedom to express what I think--- view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it might be that the President was expressing that. But as I had indicated earlier on, he means well for Kenya. He might not have said that if he was surrounded by reformists. Maybe, the Speech he was given emanated from the graduates of KANU as I indicated earlier on. The President highlighted a myriad of problems that are affecting our people and which should not be wished away. For instance, he talked about the food shortage in the country. This is a country-wide problem. I come from western Kenya where we now have rains. ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also wish to vehemently oppose this amendment by hon. Mungatana. As a lawyer, hon. Mungatana has been through our courts and knows exactly what happens there. I have been a victim in our courts, where my lawyer was told to make his final submissions in less than two minutes and even before he uttered a word, he was told: “You have concluded.” Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in fact, if there is anything to be left out from the procedure for vetting judges it is not the clause on temperament. That is the only way we ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think this is payback period. If we are vetting these people, we are trying to determine how good they have been to this country. The very reason why we are vetting these people is to weed out the bad characters because they have wrecked our Judiciary. The people who have been promoting corruption have already been rewarded. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Dr. Khalwale, do not pretend that this does not exist in Kenya. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, these are people who have been protecting people who have been handling Goldenberg cases. They have been benefiting and all that. I want to support the Minister by giving an example of a teacher, because you and I have been teachers. If a school has been performing badly for ten years, then the Ministry says it is going to assess teachers. When eventually we find that one of the teachers has been failing the pupils for ten consecutive years, is this teacher going to be rewarded with a golden handshake? It is common sense! I vehemently ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I am a very happy man today since we have passed this Bill. I would appeal to the President to assent to this Bill as soon as possible. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: The cause of so many deaths that we witnessed after the last General Elections was because all our leaders had no trust in the Judiciary. At one time, when there was a public day for the public to go and talk to members of the Judiciary at the High Court, people shed tears in broad daylight. So, I believe that this Parliament has done a very good thing to pass this Bill. It would have been very unfortunate if we had rewarded these people who have been serving us so unfairly. The public confidence in the Judiciary had gone very ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
