• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am not in any way discussing her character or conduct. I am quoting what she contributed in the Floor of this House. The Member gave us an example that in the last three by-elections, NARC(K) - the party that she chairs - has nominated male candidates only. The reason was because one of the female candidates withdrew and had to be replaced with a man. I was just demonstrating that even out of three by-elections, you could not raise the one-third at that level. How do you then facilitate, at the national level, to obligate ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in the interest of peace with hon. Sophia, I withdraw and apologize. However, the point I am making is that we made a decision this morning. That decision was very clear. We agreed that it was impractical to do this for now, unless we have a constitutional amendment. For the information of the House, on behalf of Government, on Monday morning at 10.00 a.m., the Cabinet has called a special meeting to discuss the issue of how to work out these constitutional requirements, so that we align all our electoral processes with the new constitution. I ... view

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the appointment of this fine gentleman and to confirm that, contrary to some allegations that have been made here that this gentleman may have been picked because of any horse trading, this is a man of international repute. I would have given him this job or any other job in any other organization without bothering to find out where he comes from. I think it is important we distinguish our politics from trying to tarnish or diminish the stature of some of these office holders because of our own personal differences ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the records and the accolades of Agnes Odhiambo speak for themselves. So, I join everyone else to support her nomination. While still here, allow me to take this opportunity to record the profound thanks of the Government to all Members of Parliament for having given up your weekend--- view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to record the thanks of the Government to all Members of Parliament for the time they have given and for living up to the expectation of Kenyans in terms of ensuring that all the Bills that were required to be passed for purposes of constitutional implementation have been passed within the time that was set out in the Schedule. I also want to use this opportunity, on behalf of hon. Members, to record out thanks to the parliamentary staff working for us in the National Assembly for their dedication. ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion. THAT view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, Dr. Khalwale is right. We will propose, when we go into the Committee of the whole House that Bills Nos.iv and vi are brought in the afternoon so that we have the amendments in the afternoon’s Order Paper. Bill No.v will appear on tomorrow’s Order Paper. This will enable hon. Members to have more time to go through amendments. However, we wanted to raise this matter when we go into the Committee but since the matter has been brought up, and with the concurrence of the Chair, Bills Nos.iv and vi appearing on Order No.12 ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to take this opportunity to make the following Statement with respect to business for the week pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 36(4). This week in a show of collective determination and patriotism by Members of this House, we managed to cover most of the ground towards achieving the 26th August, 2011, deadline for passing critical Constitution implementation legislations. This gesture gives me confidence to assure Kenyans that this House will be able to dispose of all the scheduled business by the close of tomorrow’s special sittings. However, should there be any pending ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, next week on Wednesday will be a public holiday. So, he can deliver it on Thursday, next week. view
