• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Having said so, let me acknowledge the fact that this is a very heavy Statement request. Therefore, it should go to the Departmental Committee. It is not something very view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, last week, the Member for Mwala, hon. Vincent Musau, requested a Statement on rampant insecurity. He sought clarification on the measures that the Government is taking to avert crime in that area. He also sought information on the number of vehicles that have been assigned to police officers for patrol in the constituency. Finally, he sought to be informed on the preventive measures that the Government has put in place to avert crime, as opposed to taking action after the crime. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a matter which we felt was urgent--- view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to be very categorical that the last thing I want is to make Statements on the Floor this House. But on the communication made by the Chair, I do not know whether the hon. Member was in the House. Matters which are very urgent are the communications of the Speaker, including even the one on the sacking of the NSSF Managing Trustee, which I am to deliver very comprehensively. There is also the one on the Kshs6 billion for women and youth funds, which hon. Chris Wakhungu is waiting for view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I have not finished. You can relax. So, hon. Deputy Speaker, once in awhile, these are matters of urgency. But if hon. Members want to hear the Statement from the chair in charge of security committee, I can still hand it over straightaway and he can read it out and hon. Members can interrogate it. At the direction of the Chair, I can hand over to the Chair. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think I totally agree with Members that we are living in confusion. The Speaker made a ruling through a communication about one month and a half ago, but Members of this House do not want to follow that ruling. That is number one. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Number two, the seeking of a Statement originates from the Member to the Speaker’s office; it is for the Speaker to direct that Statement either to the Leader of Majority Party or to a chairperson of a committee. If the Speaker in his opinion feels that, that Statement is urgent, then it must go to the Leader of Majority Party, and the majority coalition in this House is the one that is in Government, and the Leader of Majority Party is the one who represents the Government both in the Chamber and even in the House Business Committee (HBC); he ... view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not want to challenge your ruling but I think what the chairperson sought was out of order; he cannot claim a Statement at the point of delivery, and when we have not even “cooked” it. It was the Speaker, in his wisdom, who decided that the Statement sought by the Member for Mwala was urgent and had to go to the Leader of Majority Party. It is wrong for a chair of a committee, particularly from the Jubilee Coalition that I lead to come to the Floor of the House and demand Statements that are ... view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. It is good the country has heard a very desperate speech from the Leader of Minority Party, urging Jubilee to view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to confirm, as I said yesterday, we are ready for tutorials. Standing Order 1 gives the Speaker powers to make rulings where there are no provisions by the Standing Orders. So, we need to teach some hon. Members. I talked about Dr. Salome Gichura and Saadia Kontoma. The benchmark for vetting is on Parliament and they have no integrity issues. On qualifications, First Class PhD Student and Dr. Salome lead. I want the Leader of Minority Party to lead his troops, so that they give me a chance. view
