• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if I could finish what I am saying, it would help. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we take the work of this House seriously. I want to, at this point, give an early apology to the House for the absence of the Members of the Front Bench who were not here to respond. In the spirit that we are moving on, we want to provide as much information to the public, by responding to Questions raised by the hon. Members, as practicably and fast as possible. But at times, in this kind of confusion, it is not possible to have the Ministers here, and I would like to ask for the indulgence ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hear comments and suggestions about a reshuffle, but as you are aware, one of the limitations that I have, under Section 17 of the Constitution, is that I cannot give advice to the President in terms of a reshuffle, or who and who not to appoint. So, much as the advice is coming from the House, I cannot communicate it to the appointing authority. But we, as a government, take the work of view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the hon. Members are aware, we have a current Constitution. We also have sections of the former Constitution that were saved. So, when I quote on all matters to do with the Executive, I expect that the hon. Members are fully aware that the section relating to the Executive is the saved section relating to the former Constitution, which is Section 17 of the former Constitution, which was saved by the current Constitution. When I quote that, I expect that hon. Ruto would know that I am quoting the saved section and not the current ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand by my words on my absence and the absence of hon. Dr. Machage because as much as we are here, we came in late after we were delayed in the other meeting. That is a fact. In terms of the former section or my ability to advise, I appreciate the confidence that hon. Millie has in me and the position she has taken in terms of my pecking order in the “kitchen cabinet”. I am very happy with that and I will take it into account. In terms of the confusion, I believe that ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister and the Assistant Minister have just been here and we were discussing the same matter. They have just walked out but I will get them to give this Statement by Tuesday afternoon because tomorrow is not available for Statements. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me say that when we make an undertaking, this is captured in the HANSARD and every Ministry has an obligation to look at the proceedings of the House. In addition to that, we communicate. So, that should not be an excuse and I would like to hear what the hon. Member has said from the Minister. I do not doubt the conversation the Member had with the Minister but be that as it may, I would like that Statement to be delivered to this House on Wednesday morning. DELAYED STATEMENT ON CRASH-LANDING OF EGYPT AIR ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, I will be happy to provide that Statement on the Egypt Air next week. However, we also need to know that there is an investigation on the same. The investigations have commenced and are ongoing. However, I will give a Statement from that perspective by Thursday, next week. I think that will give me adequate time to compile what is left. That is what is practical at this point, bearing in mind that there is an ongoing investigation which we do not want to prejudice. However, we will work out what is possible for the ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I believe that the comprehensive Statement will cover the rationale for Kenya’s support of one of candidate or the other. That will comprehensively cover the level of consultation and all those things. Just for correction, South Africa is not our largest trading partner. The Republic of Uganda is our No.1trading partner. However, in terms of interests, we will communicate and the Ministry will cover the rationale for the support, one way or the other within a comprehensive Statement to be available to this House by Thursday, next week. view
• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity on my own behalf, the people of Kipipiri and the wider members of the Party of National Unity (PNU) for which as you know, the late hon. Prof. Saitoti was its national chairman. I would like first of all to extend our condolences to his family. Also, again on my behalf and my friends’ and the entire neighbourhood, we extend our condolences to hon. Orwa Ojode who as you know was my Assistant Minister in 2003. view
