• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate what my colleague has raised, it is the same Kenyans who passed the Constitution who also desired to have the extra 80 constituencies. The same Constitution has provisions that can easily deny the very Kenyans the right to have the 80 new constituencies. I want us to be very clear here. The intention of the Government is to ensure that what Kenyans wanted when they were passing the Constitution is achieved. Therefore, there is no mischief here because we want to avoid a situation where the very Kenyans who wanted the 80 new constituencies ... view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me say that I am not aware that there are forces within or outside the Government and even the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs is one of them. I want to deny that. It is interesting that my good friend would say that and yet, it is the same Government and the same Minister who is attempting to introduce an amendment so that we could have the said 80 new constituencies. There is goodwill in this process! view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, without defending the Minister because I am not really aware of what he said, I want to say that those comments, perhaps, arise from the interpretation of the two Articles of 89(2) and 89(4) and Section 27(3) of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my answer, I said that we know the names now. They are with the Prime Minister and the President for consultations. I really do not know the reasons why the names have not been forwarded to the House. But I want to believe that, that will be done at the time when both the Prime Minister and the President will have concluded their consultations. It will be difficult for me to give any undertaking to this House on that issue. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two issues. On the first one, I would like to say that, as it is now, because of the provisions of Article 89(4), it is not possible to say that the 80 new constituencies will be available. Reading the mood, we, Kenyans, would like to have those 80 new constituencies. Knowing that all hon. Members passed the Constitution, I am sure that when the appropriate amendments to the Constitution are brought here, I want to believe that we will all support them. Therefore, I want to believe that we will have the 80 new constituencies. ... view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Wamba is currently served by Maralal Court that holds mobile visiting sessions on a monthly basis. The Judiciary has approached and also paid the requisite fees to the relevant local authority to allocate a plot for a court. As soon as the local authority issues a letter of allotment, funds will be allocated to construct the court in Wamba. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we hope to allocate funds for this court in the next financial year. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have a comprehensive answer for this Question. Looking at the Question, it is a very serious one because it touches on whether we will have the 80 constituencies for the contest in 2012. I would like to give a very comprehensive answer. I have spoken to my learned colleague and, with the indulgence of the Chair, I would like to do so, on Tuesday, next week. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been waiting for the Judiciary to supply me with the appropriate answer for this Question. This morning, I spoke to them. However, by the time I was coming to the House, I had not received that communication. With the indulgence of the Chair, I wish to seek that I be allowed to answer this Question on Tuesday, next week. I have already shared this with my colleague and he is agreeable to it. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Is the hon. Member in order to go back to an issue that the Speaker had ruled on earlier? view
