• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Standing Order No.210(4) provides that if the Committee resolves that the instrument be acceded to, the Clerk shall convey that resolution to the relevant State department or the authority that publishes the statutory instrument. If it does not accede to it, the law requires that the Committee also recommends to the House that they have simply resolved that all or part of the instrument be annulled. So far, since we are updating the House, we have been able to accede to 62 instruments. We have been able to communicate the resolution of the Committee in terms of approving ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I listened to Hon. Arati and I thought he made a very serious statement. Is it in order for him to refer to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, who is a learned colleague of mine and of this House, as a destroyer of commissioners or of commissions? That is a serious allegation made on record. Although the Departmental Committee Chair has not complained, Hon. Arati made the allegation in front of television cameras. As we transact business in this House, we are guided by the rule on decent language. ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like Members to listen to me. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is a problem. This country is watching this House. A Kenyan yesterday made a decision to resign. The intention of that decision is to tell Members of this House that he is not interested in you debating this Motion. What we have done today is to revisit an issue on which the Chair of EACC has said he would rather resign than subject himself to this debate. As the Chair of this session, I would like to request you to make an order that we should stop discussing this issue because the Chair has resigned. If ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue raised in the Petition is, indeed, very sensitive and it touches on the lives of our young people. However, when my colleague, view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Kang’ata said that the proceedings of court were suspended to enable him or the petitioners to present the Petition in the House, then that is a bit worrying. If the withdrawal of the suit was actually done by the petitioners without appearing to have been instigated by my colleague here, it could have been fair. Where we assist the public in withdrawing a suit in court so that the Petition is brought to the House, it is a bit worrying because we appear to be interfering with the court processes and that is an area that we need to ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me say the following on the issue raised by Hon. Midiwo. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We are discussing a very serious issue. It is in the mind of every Kenyan. The situation we face now was created by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD). The coalition withdrew its membership from the Committee. The business of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs cannot be suspended simply because CORD withdrew its membership. The quorum for any Committee to proceed with its business is nine. ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Legal Affairs was not proper. He is also trying to link what is being done by this Committee and what is being done by the Joint Select Committee of this House to bring confusion to this country and the House. There is nowhere in the Constitution and the Standing Orders where the operations of our duly constituted committees can be suspended by the existence of a Joint Select Committee. I respect my brother Midiwo because he is one of the most senior Members in this House. As a respected leader, he should guide this House and country so that we ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I make my last contributions on this, I donate a minute each to Hon. Mark, Hon. Kisang, Hon. Fathia, Hon. Murgor and Hon. Nyaga. I donate a minute to each of them before I conclude. view
