Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will be very brief. I want to start by thanking you for the very well thought-out communication. Since yesterday, when a report on this petition appeared in the news, the feeling across the country was, as I understood it, about the popular issue of “revisiting” the Judiciary. As you addressed this House through your Communication today, Kenyans got a chance to realise that this is a House of procedure and rules. This is a House that believes in the rule of law. We are guided by our Constitution, which has been extensively quoted in your ...

The JSC is a very important institution of governance in this country. I am happy that today this House informed Kenyans that we are not here to pass petitions for the sake of passing. I have stood up because I want to tell Kenyans that even though we have a chance to challenge the suitability of some public officers, we have a problem. Even during the recent vetting, some Kenyans did not follow the due process of the law. They submitted to the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly memoranda which were not signed as required by the ...

Hon. Speaker, all public servants in this country should feel free that as long as they obey the law and the Constitution, this House, under your leadership, shall always stand with them. If they do not follow the law, the opposite will be true. Hon. Speaker, I commend you for your very well thought-out Communication. I believe Kenyans out there are happy with it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Speaker, you made a Communication from the Chair. It is a very clear Communication. Listening to Hon. Mbadi, he either appears to challenge your Communication or is purporting to complain. I respect Hon. Mbadi, but I think he did not have time to read Standing Order 20. It is so clear. Even for him to tell us that he has a vehicle which The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

he can use, that cannot be an issue. What the Leader of the Majority Party said is that if a Member purports to occupy an office that he is not dully appointed to occupy by his coalition, he cannot enjoy the benefit of utilising resources of the House availed to that office. That is what Hon. Duale said. Therefore, I pray that you find Hon. Mbadi out of order, because he appeared to be challenging your Communication, although he was seeking some direction. I think Standing Order No.20 is so clear. There is the use of the word ‘shall’. It ...

Hon. Speaker, I just want to agree with Hon. Junet but I think he confused two aspects – the Holy Spirit and the spirit of the Constitution. The Roho Mtakatifu he spoke about is not about the spirit of the Constitution. As Christians and Muslims, we need you to distinguish that we are discussing the spirit of the Constitution, and not the Holy Spirit. I, indeed, support this critical issue that, as a House, it is important to address it. Hon. Speaker, as our leader and having given us direction always with wisdom, you will be able to give direction ...
