• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank all the hon. Members who have contributed. Probably, I will respond only to a few. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to repeat what Mr. Otieno has said that in the spirit of reforms this process states that we should give Kenyans what is theirs and tribal chieftaincy what is theirs. On the issue of tribal chieftaincy and tribal cocoons, it is one thing to state that your group was marginalized and another to rectify historical injustices. What would happen if every marginalized group has a person trying to ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support this amendment. Without the deletion of Article 4, we will be denying persons with fertility problems a chance to have treatment such as in-vitro fertilization. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that and since so many people have said a lot, I beg to support. view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Like the rest of my colleagues, I would like to begin by supporting this Motion of Adjournment for us to meet and come to a consensus on the matters that are in this Draft Constitution. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am more concerned with the fact that without this meeting of consensus, we will have persons raising matters that they fear will be out of their favour, that will be individual, ethnic or regional. The only way that we can make those matters national is for us to have a meeting that will then ... view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is truly not the case in this scenario. The Review Act did not contemplate for us, the Members of the PSC and the CoE to have any disagreement. That is why the threshold for amendments in the Review Act is so high, because it was not anticipated. As a person who has interacted so much with the Review Act and Section 47(b), I feel that there is need for you to give guidance to this House on how to deal with the different clauses of this Draft. I say so because there is no precedence for ... view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very clear that the procedure stipulated under the Review Act and the Constitution did not anticipate the fact that we were going to deal with a Motion. We would only be dealing clause by clause if it is a Bill. I am well aware of that fact. I need that guidance because if I am confused and I have interacted well with this Act, I expect that other hon. Members need that guidance. If Mr. Midiwo does not need it, then it would explain why he is extremely--- I do not want to use the ... view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the items under Agenda No.4 is to address past imbalances. This House has established committees such as the Equal Opportunity Committee to look at areas of imbalances. The National Cohesion Act also stipulates that any Government appointment should look at the face of Kenya. This has not been going on very well in several Ministries. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: My question to the Prime Minister is: In situations where Ministers have pertuated imbalances or tried to address past imbalances by appointing persons from their communities or areas that support their political parties, what measures has he taken to address those? Specifically, Mr. Prime Minister, would you address the fact that some Ministers are using a memorandum that you wrote to them telling them that they are responsible for the calibre of Chief Executives employed in parastatals under them as an excuse of flouting recruitment processes stipulated under public organizations? view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is a follow up to the question by hon. Dr. Khalwale. He asked about the payment by those nations enjoying the services provided by the waters of River Nile. This is in conformity with asset base conservation where the users of a conserved resource pay the person doing the conservation. Since the Prime Minister said that we should be compassionate to those countries that are benefitting from the Nile Basin, especially those in the north, what is he doing to ensure that those countries are compassionate in renegotiating the Nile Treaty? view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has told this House that there are 40 airstrips in the vicinity of Narok which is the home of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and the endangered animals could be affected by the noise from the 40 airstrips. Does the Minister have any requirement that anybody who wants to establish an airstrip must carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) before the airstrip is commissioned? view
