• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the House will also consider any reports that will be tabled by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs relating to the implementation of the Constitution. Indeed, we are waiting for reports from this Committee to process the next request by the House, which will be a Motion for Adjournment. This will be subject to receiving these reports from this Committee which could well come next week, depending on the progress made. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, the House Business Committee will be meeting again on Tuesday, 13th to consider business for the rest of the week, including the potential adjournment in the cause of the week, depending on the success of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, private Members are within their rights to propose Bills to this House. For us, we need to accord them adequate time for those Bills to be processed. The only proviso is that if there are Government Bills, then the Private Members’ Bills take a back seat. We have exhausted all the Government Bills that the Government had put forward for this year. We are allocating the rest of the time for Private Members’ Bills. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: In terms of the Constitutional Bills, work is in progress and very good progress has been achieved with all the stakeholders who are involved in processing of those Bills; the Constitution Implementation Commission, Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee and all others. During the recess, those entire Bills will then be processed through the Cabinet and published. When we come back in January, we will embark on the journey of getting all those Bills out of the way. But in the meantime, we are using this window to process all the Private Members’ Bills that have been forwarded. A lot of work ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have actually just been outside here. I have been following the proceedings and I left the Assistant Minister for Defence holding brief. In any case, everything is being captured. The Minister for Public Works has been here. We participated in the joint Committee and we will be making contribution at the appropriate point. view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me, first of all, confirm that the Minister of State for Special Programmes is actively working on this matter. She has actually been to the ground and as we are talking, has gone back to the ground to work on the modalities of assisting the victims of the flooding. I will communicate the matter to her to bring the comprehensive Statement by next week. This is because much as we appreciate that it is urgent, the confirmation I have given earlier is that the Minister is already on the ground and taking urgent measures to ... view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we can have the Statement coming in on Thursday. All I was asking the House is that in terms of priority, I would rather give the Minister time to be on the ground than to be here to issue a Statement confirming what we have just confirmed that measures have been taken to avoid further disaster with what has been caused by the floods. view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to respond to that next week. I am aware that there is a proposal but I do not want to anticipate debate on the Motion. Last week when we were looking at all the issues and Statements that were scheduled, it was very clear that the whole of this week is clogged with Statements. We may not even have time for all those Statements. The Statement will come on Thursday, next week, in order to get him adequate time to look through all the issues. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government introduced a policy to phase out all public service vehicles with a carrying capacity of below 25. The policy does not stop the already licenced 14 seater minivans from operating as public service vehicles on our roads. This policy was implemented through the Kenya Gazette Notice No.209 of 21st December, 2010 and the deadline for new licensing for vehicles within this category was 31st December, 2010. The vehicles of this category which were already registered as at 1st January, 2011 will continue to be licensed as long as ... view
