• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this record job, when it comes to allocation of funds, some constituencies are made richer and others are made poor, so that they get more money than others. I want to thank the Mover of the Motion because he has gone down and analysed. You cannot convince me that Bumula is richer than Kiambu. You cannot convince me under the sun that Bumula is richer than some of the constituencies that have been highlighted here. Money has been taken away from Bumula and given to other areas. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot drag myself to that level because I am not here to talk about personalities. I am discussing poverty levels in our constituencies. It is true that Pan Paper Mill is closed. That is the lifeline of the people of Western Province. It is true that Nzoia Sugar Company is under receivership. It is true very few people are employed from Western Province. Records show that when they recruit the army officers, we get one chance. Other areas, people get more chances. When they recruited prison warders, they gave us only two chances. Other areas, ... view

• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, instead of the Minister reacting to the points raised, he is instead insulting the hon. Member. Is it the language of this House for the Minister to insult hon. Members of Parliament? view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak on this important Motion. We are talking about a new constitutional dispensation. We are talking about the beginning of constituting a new Judicial Service Commission, which answers to the letter and spirit of the new Constitution. The difference between the new Judicial Service Commission and the old one is that whereas the old one had five members, all appointees of the President, the current one will have more members, but they will not be appointees of the President. The democratic principle that constitutes this Commission is very critical. ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, I stand to support this Motion because I know Justice Lenaola and Principal Magistrate Emily Ominde very well. I associate myself with the positive remarks that have been made about these two individuals. The only thing that I would like to add in respect of Justice Lenaola is that he has proved that one can be efficient in case management. When he was posted to Machakos, there were very many cases unheard for many years, but within a space of six to nine months, he had cleared the backlog. He was doing another excellent job in ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as the hon. Member for Imenti Central is concerned, honestly, I cannot remember if he was detained after I became the Attorney-General. All I can remember is that when I became the Attorney- General he was facing a charge and I terminated it. But as to whether he was detained after I became Attorney-General, I cannot remember but I stand to be corrected. I think I am right. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we are talking about reforms, of course, many cases of violation of human rights have occurred and a number of things have happened. The history of this country since Independence is well laid out and everybody can see it. That is why the country has been clamouring for a new Constitution and all of us have been involved in our own ways. Some people in the Opposition and some in the Government have been involved. We have been involved in trying to see that we get a new Constitution. The record of the HANSARD is here. ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion and I hope that the other organizations which are supposed to nominate people to the Judicial Service Commission, that is, the Court of Appeal, the High Court and the LSK will now move with speed to ensure that they do elect their representatives to the Commission. If they move, at least, we can have five members of the Judicial Service Commission who can transact the business of the Commission. That is what is provided for under our Constitution. view
