VERBATIM REPORT OF SWEARING IN OF DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL

CONSTITUTIONAL CONFERENCE, HELD AT THE BOMAS OF KENYA ON 29TH

MAY 2003

The meeting started at 10.00 am.

An Honourable Delegate (Prayer): God our Father and Creator, you have given us a beautiful

country Kenya, you have given us this country to live in, to work in and to serve you and serve

our people. We ask you to bless these Delegates present here, give us the spirit of wisdom and

understanding of the Constitution. Give us the spirit of courage to change what needs to be

changed and give us the courage to need to maintain what we must maintain.

We ask you Lord, open our hearts and minds to be cordial and accept the opinions of each other

but also to come to a fruitful judgement in unanimity and also in solidarity. We ask you Lord all

these through the power of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns through you and the Holy

Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

Prof. Yash Pal Ghai: Thank you. Now I call upon Sheikh Ali Shee to lead us in prayers.

Hon. Delegate Sheikh Ali Shee: (Maombi) Tuombeni. Yarabi Muumbaji wetu, Mola wetu.

Sisi ni wanyonge mbele yako, viumbe vyako ambao tunakutegemea wewe, tunategemea nguvu

zako na kuungwa mkono na wewe. Ewe Mola, tubariki sisi sote tulioko hapa ambao tumekutana

kwa lengo la kuangalia maslahi ya viumbe vyako walioko katika nchi hii ya Kenya. Mola,

wabariki wananchi wetu wote na uwape busara wakilishi wao walioko hapa ambao wamekuja

kuangalia maslahi yao, kuangalia jambo la Katiba ambalo litachunga haki na uadilifu na

kuangalia maendeleo ya nchi hii yako. Ewe Mola tunakuomba hatuna mwingine isipokuwa ni

wewe, tupe busara nyingi, tupe akili, tupe uvumilivu, tupe subira tuweze kuvumiliana na tuweze

kustahimiliana na tuweze kufanya kazi pasi na kuchoka. Rabi tunakuomba, hatuna mwingine

utubariki. Amin.

Prof. Yash Pal Ghai: Thank you. I will now call upon Mrs. Kamla Sikand to say prayers.

June 2003

Mrs. Kamla Sikand: (Prayer). God we thank you for giving us this day today. God we ask

your continued blessings as we are gathered here to give Kenya a new Constitution. God, give

us the wisdom and give us the power to think for the country that we may think for the future,

and not think of ourselves today: We want this Constitution to be for our children’s children, for

the future of this country. Let us forget our selfish aims today. Let us see that this document is

for the country for a long, long time. We thank you God for giving us wisdom through the

Chairman and the Commissioners who have produced a beautiful draft for us. God, we thank

you again and ask for your blessings for all of us. Thank you.

Prof. Yash Pal Ghai: Thank you. Finally, we will have traditional prayers. May I invite Ole

Kurun.

Ole Kurun: (Traditional prayers) ……………………..Maasai Dialect. Nakuomba kwa jina

la Baba, la Mwana na Roho Mtakatifu. Amina. (Laughter by Honourable Delegates)

Prof. Yash Pal Ghai: Honourable Delegates, the primary purpose of this session today is to

swear in the members of the Conference. I remember we were all here together in October just

on the verge of being sworn in when Parliament was dissolved. I am reminded ofthis may not be

entirely a true story but it has been widely circulated so it must be true--. That Winston

Churchill at that time a Member of Parliament in Britain was making a speech in Westminster

when the Germans dropped a bomb which fell very near the Houses of Parliament. As a result

Churchill had to stop, members had to be rushed out and to security and then when the war

ended a few years later Churchill came back to the House and said, “as I was saying when I was

so rudely interrupted” and continued the speech after so many years.

I have a similar sort of feeling, I hope this is the last interruption, the one in October that we had,

and that we will be allowed to continue with our work smoothly until we have concluded the

swearing in by the Secretary of the Commission Mr. Patrick Lumumba swearing me in and once

I have been sworn in I will swear in all of you. We will swear you in batches of 50 members, to

do individual swearing in will take up many hours. In your documents you should have an oath

of 38


June 2003

or affirmation and once you have taken your oath or have affirmed, you will fill that form and we

will tell you how you deliver that form to the Secretariat.

We have here all the religious books that we need for today, that is the Holy Bible, the Holy

Quran and the Holy Baquatgita and so people of all these different religions can swear their oath

according to their religious rights. I will now therefore ask Mr. Lumumba to swear me in and

then I will proceed with the swearing in of others.

“I, Yash Pal Ghai, being appointed a Delegate to the National Constitutional Conference under

the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission Act, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully and

fully, impartially and to the best of my ability, discharge the trust and perform the functions and

exercise the powers devolved upon me by virtue of this appointment without fear, favour, bias,

affection, ill will or prejudice and to the end that in the exercise of the functions and powers as

such a delegate, I shall at all times be guided by the national interest. So help me God”.

(Honourable Delegates clapping)

P L O Lumumba: I will now with the permission of the Chair call out the first 50 names, and I

will call out the names, those who want to take the oath will sit after the oath has been read out

and those who want to affirm will remain standing.

please put in today’s date so that we know the day on which you took the oath or the affirmation.

I will now ask those persons whose names have just been read to stand and to repeat after me,

first as before, “I” and then your name. Please say your name.

Hon. Delegates: I,…………………, being appointed a Delegate to the National Constitutional

So help me God.

So will you please sign the oath and then maybe Lumumba will tell you how to deliver it.

P L O Lumumba: Those who want to affirm may remain standing. I take it that there is

nobody. The group that has just been sworn will move to my right side, there is a desk where

you will deliver the oath paper or sign one if you don’t have one in your custody. I will now

P L O Lumumba: Mr. Chairman,

that is the full list of Delegates. You are kindly requested to go to my left side and then

Delegates are requested to assemble before the Chair says the final word during this session. In

the intervening period and with his permission the following announcements will be made:

Number one, Commissioners are humbly requested to assemble outside the auditorium for a

short meeting.

Number two, we are requesting the Delegates who are housed by the Commission that you will

be guided to attend where all the accommodation hiccups will be dealt with. We take this early

opportunity to note that there were a little hiccups and those will be cleared this morning and we

also wish to announce that you have been supplied with an amended programme and on a daily

basis; our proceedings will be based on a daily Order Paper which you will find on your desk

everyday.

Ladies and Gentlemen, other issues relating to administration will be made known to you

including the collection of badges. The Chairman will speak to tomorrow’s programme. Thank

you very much and may God bless you.

An announcement: Delegates representing political parties, you are requested to assemble

outside the auditorium after the Chairman has formally closed this session. So for the moment

we ask all Delegates to assemble so that the Chairman can formally bring this session to an end.

Thank you very much.

Prof. Yash Pal Ghai: I urge you all to be seated shortly before nine, he will speak after

entertainment offered by various groups and we expect that the morning ceremony will end at

around noon. In the afternoon we expect to discuss the rules of procedure but as the Secretary

of 38


June 2003

has said a more detailed programme will be provided tomorrow morning on your desks but it is

very important that you are here on time since His Excellency will be speaking and arriving

himself at 9.00 o’clock.

Those Delegates who have not received their badges or their documentation will do so shortly,

there are ushers outside who will take you to the tent where you will obtain these. So please

identify yourselves if you do not have a badge or do not have the documentation. I hope that you

will throughout this Conference remember the oath and the affirmation that you have taken today

and that all your actions and decisions will be taken in the national interest. I may have

occasion to remind you of your oath later on but at this stage I just want to say, please act in the

spirit of the oath and the affirmation that we have all taken today.

With that I want to adjourn the meeting until tomorrow 9.00 o’clock. I believe lunch will be

served shortly in the usual place, I am sure I will see you around the premises later today but

otherwise I look forward to seeing tomorrow morning. Goodbye.

AFTERNOON SESSION

Some Delegates could not be with us this morning as they had another meeting. They have now

arrived and it is proposed to swear them in as Delegates and therefore for this purpose I am

convening the assembly for the sole purpose of swearing in the members who were not sworn in

this morning. As we did this morning the Secretary will read the names of the Delegates about

to take the oath or affirmation and then I will ask them to stand, raise their right hand and repeat

the oath after me.

If there is any member who wishes to affirm other than to make an oath then we can do that after

the oath has been sworn in. So I am going to ask the Secretary to read the names of Delegates

who are being sworn now and if there is a member in this hall whose name will not be read out

but who has not been sworn in, please come and maybe stand up and let us know so that we can

add your name and you can also be sworn in at the same time.

So I will ask the Secretary to read the list of names.

P L O Lumumba: The Chair’s permission permit me to read the names and as I read you will

stand and when the Chairman is administering the oath you will raise your right hand or left hand

and take the oath.
