• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am aware that we are on Order No.7, but chances are that this Order may take so long and this House requires to vote physically. A minimum of two- view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I did not know that you also have a problem pronouncing my last name. It is actually Ng’ongo and you can get it better than the others, which means “big” for those who do not know. I would like to thank hon. Chachu for raising that point of order. Truly, throughout the Tenth Parliament, we called for the Wildlife Bill and I am happy to hear that it is just about to find its way to Parliament. I just want to say two things in support of this Motion. The first reason being that usually, ... view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, given that this Statement was sought from the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, the hon. Member who is a good friend of mine and my junior some few years ago promises things that he does not deliver. He promised me that they would be done with my Bill. He did not promise me but the House and up to now, he is very quiet about it. Could I know when this Bill on the Deputy President and other designated officers; Retirement Benefits Bill will be done by his Committee? view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you are right because definitely according to the definition of money Bills, that Bill is likely to go to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. That is why I am concerned because it is taking too long with the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, if I got him correctly, he said Thursday. This is pre-publication scrutiny and I do not understand why it should take time yet the Standing Orders are very clear. It is supposed to be done with within seven days. So this Bill has been with the Committee for over a month. view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. My concern is only whether we will get the two-thirds majority. Could the whips whip two- thirds of the Members of Parliament so that we can pass this Motion? view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: First, this particular Bill has already attracted a lot of emotions. The media fraternity is not fully convinced that it is a Bill that we should pass in its current form. Therefore, we need more time. This is probably presenting us an opportunity, as the august House to have more time and get a Bill out of this House that will become an Act of Parliament that is friendly to the media and promotes media freedom that we need. view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: As we debate this issue about freedom of the media I request you, hon. Speaker, that you reopen the Media Centre for the media. We are really inconvenienced whenever we want to issue Press releases. It is a nightmare. I know maybe for some good reason that the Media Centre was not made available to the media but as it is now, it is also affecting Members of Parliament. So, I would like to request that we reconsider this issue and possibly tomorrow or today, if you could issue a directive that, at least, one room be availed to the ... view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, as a Member of the Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), I want to register from the outset that, for a long time, we have called for a repeal of the VAT Act as it is today. The VAT Act, Cap.476 of the Laws of Kenya has its weaknesses and, therefore, there has been increased pressure to have a new VAT law in place, first of all, in terms of management and administration. The complexity in management and administration of VAT in this country has been a source of concern not only ... view
