• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: If we go his route, we will actually be legislating here against the Constitution. That is why he is being asked to withdraw his amendment. That is because if we do not pass it the way Mr. Keynan has proposed, the President can order our defence forces in the law while in the Constitution, he can only do so with permission of Parliament. So, I think the advice of the Attorney-General is very clear. In the very first place, we should not have had clauses in this Bill dealing with a matter that is already expressly provided by the Constitution. ... view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to rise to support the amendments that have been raised by the hon. Letimalo. In my own constituency, a school going child was killed this year courtesy of military operations at the 9 Kenya Rifles in Moi Barracks in Eldoret. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think this amendment will now make it possible for communities that live around areas where this kind of exercises are undertaken to be compensated whenever such acts go beyond the gazetted areas.

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, first, I did not think it was procedural for the Chair of the Committee to try and withdraw the amendment. Unless he puts before this House the resolution of the Committee that they actually want to withdraw this amendment, then completely, he is out of order. Madam Temporary Chairlady, I think this amendment is welcome so that we stop insider trading in institutions of Government. I think those in charge of those institutions specifically should not trade with the institutions that they are in charge of. I think this amendment is well put. view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think in all fairness, you have a responsibility as the Chair to help us manage the time of this Parliament. Surely, if every other section of New Clause 45 has been deleted, where does Clause 45G stand? Which declaration of a State officer when the declaration itself has been removed? I think you should be able to make a ruling that the rest should not bother us. We should save time! view
