• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, they are not here and it is all to do with the games in Maputo. We will try to ask them, but I think they are thinly spread out. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, starting with the last one, the process of the correction started even before the matter had been raised. So, we are just waiting for the publication of the corrigenda. In terms of the other matter on the Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as you are aware there is a regional meeting taking place today and tomorrow on the state of famine in the horn of Africa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is deeply involved in the organization of that. So, they cannot be here to provide the Statement. With the indulgence of the House, that ... view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, we did communicate to the Right hon. Prime Minister your directive. He would have wished to be here today to make this Statement, but unfortunately and for good reasons, he is engaged with the meeting that is discussing the state of famine within the horn of Africa at the UN, co-chaired by Kenya and the UN. Today was the Ministerial day and tomorrow is the summit. In addition to that, there is also the funeral of one of the heroes of this country, the late Wambui Otieno. The Prime Minister was also involved in that. So, ... view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the next available opportunity is Prime Minister’s Time on Wednesday. As you remember, this was actually scheduled and was even circulated to hon. Members for last Wednesday, but the Prime Minister could not be here. The meeting that is taking place was scheduled long before the request came to this House. The funeral was scheduled long before the matter came to this House. So, we are not actually using those as excuses for not issuing this Statement. view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, nine comments have been made or clarifications sought on this matter and looking at them, two relate to the subject matter, which is the presence or absence of the Prime Minister this afternoon. Seven relate to extra information that the Prime Minister should include in his Statement when he makes it. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: If I take the two that are related to the presence or absence thereof, is the issue raised by Mr. Nyamweya who wanted to know whether the matter could not have been delegated and whether this matter was not more important than the matters taking place outside. I want to state that the meeting that is being co-chaired between Kenya and the UN on the horn of Africa, on responding to the famine and drought which has captured the entire region including Kenya, is a matter of international attention and importance that this House has even taken time, even through ... view
