• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister says that he does not understand the work of a police doctor. Since he does not understand, could he allow me to explain to him the work of a police doctor in Nairobi? Anybody who is assaulted in this town--- view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised to hear that the Government does not know the work of Dr. Kamau. Dr. Kamau is a very strange doctor in this City. He takes ten minutes to dress up, but takes one second to examine a patient. There is a rape case in which he took more than ten minutes to--- view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologise that. The Government should allow Government medical doctors to fill P3 forms and testify in court especially in assault cases. There is a case where a lady was raped and treated by another doctor, but the case was dismissed because Dr. Kamau said that the whole thing was okay. Could the Government, therefore, allow public medical doctors to testify in court? view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the amendment. We should not allow a body like this one to work on suspicion because some human beings suspect others in their dreams. If somebody just dreamt that you acquired your property wrongly and appoints a receiver, by the time you go to court to prove that you acquired it legally, the receiver might have disposed of your property to recover the money that you are suspected to have stolen. How will you get back your property? This House cannot make laws and empower certain human beings to operate the ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment. This amendment was subject of very extensive comments during the Committee Stage. It was because of the various views that had been expressed in this House on this amendment, which made it appear that it could be subject to arbitrariness and abuse, that--- 3926 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007 view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to have the HANSARD Report on this one, because it was subject to very intensive comments during the Second Reading of the Bill. It was so obvious, that I wonder why the hon. Member is raising the issue. He knows very well that what I am saying is true, that this proposal was subject to very extensive comments from both sides of the House on the fact that it could be abused and the exercise of the powers could be arbitrarily abused by the Director of KACC. That is why I have ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on this one, I do agree. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to strongly oppose this proposal for very many reasons, some of which are constitutional and others that relate to the wording of the phraseology itself. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, under our Constitution, the executive authority which deals with the appointment of all public officers is vested in the President. The core function of Parliament of this National Assembly is to legislate. We should never separate--- We should be very, very clear in our minds, at all times, that the executive authority is vested in the President, and the core function of Parliament ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment because it is really for the sake of continuity. Even under our Constitution, it is stated that the President shall hold office for five years, but at the end of the five years, we have to wait until he hands over to a newly elected person. Otherwise, at times you can have a vacuum, which you cannot fulfil if, somehow, the newly elected person is not there to take over at that time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, so, both the amendment to the First Schedule, which relates to the Director ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although the Fourth Schedule was a very important proposal moved by me, but in view of the decision of the House, I agree with the Mover that, in view of the decision of the House yesterday to delete proposed Section 7(A), then this cannot stand on its own because it is part of that Section that was "killed" yesterday, unfortunately. view
