• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: As hon. Members will recall, hon. Nyambati, who was the Vice-Chairman of the PSC, and who had been nominated by the PNU Coalition, lost his Parliamentary seat and is currently engaged in the re-election process. In the meantime, the vacancy within the PSC is impacting on the work of the PSC. If the PSC cannot raise a quorum because some of its Members have travelled, all of us suffer. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have, therefore, taken the view that in order to facilitate the work of the Commission, it is important that a Member be appointed in an acting capacity until the fate of the former Vice-Chairman of the Commission is known. I am also aware that another vacancy has arisen because of the appointment of hon. Murgor into Government. We have asked the ODM party, which is the party that had nominated hon. Murgor to the PSC, to consult and provide a name that will also be brought to this House for approval. Immediately that name ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Keynan is known to all of us in this House, and it is not traditional for us to discuss why a certain Member of Parliament is being appointed to what position. It suffices to say that the consultations that took place within the nominating party provided the name, and we expect another name to come from the ODM shortly to replace hon. Murgor. Immediately I receive that name, I will forward it to the House for approval, so that the PSC can be fully constituted to do the business it is mandated to do ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to move and request hon. Muthama to second the Motion. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you give your guidance, I want to agree 100 per cent with hon. Abdikadir. Where I come from, when a young man speaks like that, we say that he has spoken like ten elders. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I find that the interjection by hon. Nyamweya is rather unfortunate, especially coming so late in the day. That is because this should have been challenged at the point when the matter was referred to the CIOC. We have taken the trouble to bring it, as House Business Committee, to the Floor of the House because ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I wanted to give the assurance to this House that the House Business Committee considered and found that these Motions are properly before the House and put them on the Order Paper. The hon. Members should feel comfortable debating them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the matter of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I also want to reassure this House that it is now receiving attention. We are making very good progress and will be reporting to this House. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the report of the Committee and to congratulate the Committee for the good work it has done. They worked very hard under difficult circumstances to clear these names. I would also like to thank the panel for the work they did. I know there have been some reservations in terms of what has been going on, and in terms of the people, who were left out, but by the end of it all, we only had nine slots to fill and I believe they have done their best. Having said ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the initiator of this Bill, hon. Lekuton, for the efforts he has put in it. He has been on our back, as the House Business Committee, in terms of saying: “I want you to prioritise this Bill because the work that entails within this Bill needs to be brought out, so that all these assets can be put into better use.” view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Let me also take this opportunity to thank hon. Members of this House for having agreed earlier that we spend hours beyond 6.30 p.m., so that we can dispose of the business that is before us, including this very important Bill which we are just about to conclude. The passage of this Bill is a reminder to Kenyans, especially wealthy Kenyans who would not even want to tell their children what they have. When they pass away, we end up with unclaimed assets. Let people be proud to say what they have and be sincere with their families, so that ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
