• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was the Attorney-General. The ruling was made ex parte. My then Chief Litigation Officer was in court; Justice Mbaluto refused to hear him and made that ruling. Had my Chief Litigation Officer been heard, that ruling would not have been there because what happened was in the exercise of my powers under Chapter 1 to ensure that what has been published is the correct version that had been passed by this Parliament; it is the correct version that had been passed by the Cabinet. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue is not whether the policy was right or wrong. The record will bear me out; this Parliament had approved what he corrected, and the Cabinet had approved what I corrected. On the question of correcting what this House had passed, it was ex parte . My officer was kept out. Had he gone to the court, he would have shown what the Cabinet had approved, what was discussed in this House and what was enacted. I am quite sure that, most likely, it would have made a difference to the judgment. I, very painfully, chose ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support the draft as it is. I want to also state that the draft as it is, is consistent with the Constitution. This is because the provision that you are referring to--- view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am opposing the further amendment and supporting the proposed amendment as appears on the Order Paper and moved by Hon. Namwamba. This is because if you read Regulation 5(3)(A) carefully, it does not state that the members of the Commission shall be composed of people with experience in “a”, “b” and “c”. If it said that, then you have to confine yourself to the qualifications enlisted in that Section. All it says is “shall include.” When you use the words “shall include” it does not preclude. When you read the other section which says “qualification ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just rise to be on record as supporting this particular Schedule. I think it will provide guidelines to other committees which will be engaged in the vetting exercise but it ought to be very clear that it may very well give additional questions. Do we have some room where we could, depending on whatever, have some additional questions? In other words, this should be basic but the law should permit the committee to have additional questions put into the questionnaire depending on what is being applied for. I hope you are following what I am ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. I confirm to this House that in accordance with Section 261(4), I will be working very closely with the Commission when it is constituted so that we even accelerate the time schedules which have been set out in Schedule 5 of the Constitution. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that Mr. Cheborge A. Ng’eno is occupying plot No.15 in Chesinende Scheme while the title holder, Mr. Kibet A. Turgut is landless. According to the information from the Kericho Land Registry, Plot No.15 in Chesinende Scheme is registered in the name of Chepkwony A. Butere. The said parcel measures approximately 10 acres. Registration was done on 10th March, 1992 and no transfer has since been done. (b) The registered land owner, Mr. Chepkwony A. Butere is the same person occupying the land on the ground, unless evidence ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Order Paper, you will see that she wanted me to answer a Question with regard to Plot No.15 and not 51. view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Minister has not stopped land transactions by the Land Control Board in Kuresoi District. (b) No ban was imposed on the operations of the Land Control Board in Kuresoi District, hence the issue of lifting the same does not arise. view
