• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my being long and windy, but correct is better than being brief, but totally out of line. It is important that we correct the impression that has been created. The statement made by the two is a total misinterpretation of the Constitution for our own purposes. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to support this Appropriation Bill. Let me start by saying that last week, the House made history by approving the estimates in an amended form. I believe for those who were here, no less than the Chairman of the Budget Committee was full of praise for this House. It made history that for the first time, the budgeting process involved consultation between the Ministry, the Treasury and the Committee and necessary amendments were made. We were all very happy as we went home that, indeed, we now have budget estimates ... view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, this House do adjourn until Tuesday, 11th October, 2011 at 2.30 p.m. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the hon. Members are all aware, we have had, perhaps, the most fruitful and productive session in the history of this Parliament. It is during this Session that we passed a historic number of constitutional implementation Bills and saw them enacted well within the schedule that was set out for us in the Constitution. Against all odds, we beat all the people who doubted the capacity of this House and actually worked. Within that period, the hon. Members will remember that they volunteered a record 27 extra hours to the nation by working until midnight ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, working so hard has also meant that the hon. Members have not had the opportunity to be with their families and constituents. They have also not had the opportunity to actually go and monitor the activities taking place in terms of the CDF projects that they have initiated on the ground. The hon. Members have also not had enough time to look at some issues that need to be deliberated further within the Committee. It was the feeling of the House Business Committee that we need to create this time, so that the hon. Members can ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this break which is very well-deserved comes at an appropriate time when we can go celebrating that, yes, we have done what Kenyans wanted us to do. We are not leaving behind any pending business that we can say, when we are on recess, that we should not have taken a break this time because we had this and that. We have just passed the Appropriation Bill which we hope by that time, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will have started actualizing. We have also passed all those other Bills regarding the police ... view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we go, I hope that we will also take this time and engage with the teaching fraternity within our constituencies because we have invested eight years in our children who have been in school from Standard one to Standard eight. We cannot jeopardize the remaining two months before they sit for exams just because of our political considerations. We cannot jeopardize the four years that we have invested in our children who have gone from Form One to Form Four and who will be sitting for their exams in six weeks’ time by continuing to ... view
