• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: 3. Amb. (Dr.) Richard Ekai Titus - Mining view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker Sir. I was rising on a point of order to give the House information because there is misinformation on the report that was tabled by the Committee that I chaired in the 10th Parliament. The report did propose the annulment of Legal Notice 16 of 1997. But that report was not debated and adopted by the House, so it is not legally binding. So, I would suggest that the hon. Member for Kirinyaga Central forwards his request to the Committee on Delegated Legislation, so that they can re-table that report and have the House adopt the ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Article 155(3)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya and the provisions of Standing Order 45, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on the vetting of Principal Secretaries Nominees, laid on the Table of the view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, in responding, I would like to thank all the Members who have given supporting statements for the work of the Committee and on the candidates that we have vetted. In the past, we used to think that persons from the pastoralist areas would only get positions as an affirmative action. It is very clear that these persons have impeccable CVs and it is their CVs that spoke and not affirmative action. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: This clearly shows that if we use the human resource that we have, we are definitely going far. I would like to thank the President and the Deputy President for making the work of the Committee easier by nominating individuals with good CVs, experience and no integrity issues. view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion. In the same light, I want to join my colleagues in congratulating hon. Chachu Ganya for bringing this very timely Motion. In the same light, I want to laud hon. Chachu Ganya for the great conservation work that he does through his organization – the Pastoralist Integrated Support Programme in Marsabit. I view
• 2 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to echo what h(Dr.) Eseli has said. I agree that these Standing Orders were passed on 9th January when most Members were more interested in re-election than legislation. However, the main issue here is that people were making Standing Orders assuming that they will be sitting on the Chair that you are sitting. view
• 2 May 2013 in National Assembly: That is the genesis of the problem with the entire Standing Orders. We did not even want to oppose those Standing Orders because those who wanted the provisions that are there were the Majority then and there was tyranny of numbers and tyranny of sitting on the Chair you are sitting right now. So, having experienced what we went through to get to these Standing Orders, first and foremost, I want it to go on record that they were done in hiding. These Standing Orders were only brought at the late hour so that they could not be scrutinized properly. ... view
• 2 May 2013 in National Assembly: On the issue of Public Investments Committee and the Public Accounts Committee, I would like to say that there is no Opposition and there is no Government because the ruling party might have been in the Minority. What we should have in these Standing Orders, is that if the Minority or the Majority are not the ruling Executive, then the Chair should go the Opposition - to that ruling Executive. That makes sense. To tell us that we cede and you want to have a meeting to negotiate numbers is going beyond the rules. For example, what if this Opposition ... view
• 17 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of Order, hon. Speaker, Sir. My point of order is with regard to hon. Mbadi’s statement that we will be having the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party usurping the powers of the Members of the Back Bench. I have noticed since this morning that my good friend, hon. Mbadi seems to be suffering from some form of amnesia because this has been the tradition in this House and all other Commonwealth Parliaments. If as a Private Member you are not able to convince your party - either the Majority party ... view
