(a) The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, lists nine key legislative areas that require legislation to be enacted by 27th August, 2012. (b) Out of these nine legislative areas, five have already been enacted or published and four are pending at various stages as per the attached matrix. The matrix sets out the estimated timelines within which the remaining Bills are published. Because the Members may not be having the matrix, let me just very quickly go through it for the sake of my colleagues. First, Legislation on Leadership ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me confirm to the House and to my learned senior that, indeed, what I am telling the House now is in line with what the Leader of Government Business mentioned to the House yesterday. In fact, yesterday the Minister also mentioned this issue. So, it is in line with what was said yesterday to this House. On the right to petition Parliament under Article 119, my Ministry is in consultation with the stakeholders with a view to developing a policy which will guide the petition process. This is equally a very important procedure which we ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a good question because unless we explain exactly what happens, it cannot be clear. The Bill is forwarded to the Attorney-General and at the same time also to the CIC. After that, we have a round view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the answer, I have talked about on or before. This means that we may even publish the Bills before 29th June. That is the essence of this. When I answered this Question last week, I was requested to give specific dates. I also said that because of the process through which we do these Bills, specific dates as to when they will be published could not be confirmed. After that day, we liaised with the CIC. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my Ministry is in charge of constitutional matters. We also answer Questions. This Question was raised by Dr. Nuh, a Member of this House. This is a matter that, as the Ministry responsible for constitutional matters, has the right to address the House. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the fact that it is the Attorney-General--- That is why I said that part of the process is being undertaken by the Attorney-General in terms of approving the Bills, taking them to the CIC and having the round table. I do not see how unconstitutional it is for my ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think I have answered that. It is within the responsibility of our Ministry to answer this Question. view

• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think you should give directions. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I fail to understand now is the following: If a Question has been raised by a Member of Parliament to the Ministry, we view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Question that is before us is asking us to give this House the timelines. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, honestly, that is the Question that my Ministry can answer. If there are issues on the interpretation of the law and so on, that can go to the Attorney-General. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should, as a Government, be able to help this House. Why should we delay this House for a day, week or month and yet, we can answer the Question? On the basis of that, I think it is not really a problem. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I see two issues here that we should not answer this Question as a Ministry. That is what you are saying. When we want to answer, they say: Now, it should be done by the Attorney-General. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will like to seek your directions here, because---- view
