• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, having agreed on this matter, it is important that we provide for no movement once the nomination process begins. Remember, we have seven elections at a go. Also, remember what we passed here on the Political Parties Bill and the membership. If you do not put all those things together, we will legislate something here which will allow for party hoping but will not work when you get to the nominations. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I think for avoidance of doubt and clarity in the House, Mr. Mbadi raised a very fundamental question that there may not be a degree in Public Finance.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am on a point of order. The matter may have been spent but I just want us to understand that there was an issue that was being corrected, we have not corrected and we are now discussing it--- view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish the Chairman of the Oversight Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution would be attentive to this. The essence of the list being proposed is to contain not just enough names for that election, but even any vacancies being created.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let us look at the import of Clause 16(1) and (2) and remove any suspicions of micromanagement of the Commission. Earlier on, the Chair of the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade told us that the intention was to get this staff of the Commission to work on a part-time basis. Even if we removed the Treasury from interacting with the Commission, this Commission may require to work with staff from the Attorney-General’s Chambers and other departments, but not necessarily being bound that they must hire them on a full time basis.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I really want to thank the Member for Gichugu for that clarification and to further add that, if you look at Clause 2, it says that a public officer who is seconded to the Commission shall during the period of secondment, be deemed to be an officer of the Commission and subject only to the direction and control of the Commission. If we delete as proposed by the Committee, we will also be deleting that clause. That would mean that they may request to hire and the people they get may as well go and ... view

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, as you will note, it is 5.30 p.m., and we still have a lot of business in the Committee and also within the House. There are three reports of the Committee that we need to also clear today. The leave of the House that we got on Wednesday was to extend the sittings of the House for Wednesday and Thursday, and today had not been covered. So, it is important that we then move into the House and extend our sitting, so that we can deliberate and finish all these things. view
