• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has confirmed that in quite a number of constituencies, we had working arrangements with the managers and the committees were working very well. Before these CDF Account Managers were appointed, most of our work was demonised as if nothing was working out properly. So, these managers have been appointed against a backdrop of insinuation and innuendo. It looks like they are going out there to correct everything 4120 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 25, 2007 that is wrong. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister ensure that there are positive aspects of this CDF that is ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I thought you are supposed to propose rather than put the Question! view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: No! You were actually saying you are "putting" the Question! view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I notice that in this new definition, the Minister has gone to great trouble to define "redundancy" whereas in the original Bill, it is as defined under the Employment Act. Was there any shortfall? I do not have the advantage of having the Employment Act with me here. Was there a problem in the definition of "redundancy"? view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, perhaps, before the Minister deals with it, let me just explain myself a little more. As far as I know, the Employment Act is still in force. The fact that we have had to take trouble and define "redundancy" in this particular clause as opposed to using what is in the Employment Act--- Would that mean that the Minister is going to bring an amendment to the Employment Act as soon as possible? What is the position? view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if the word "redundancy" has been defined in the Employment Act, which is in existence, all I was asking is whether the Minister could give us an assurance that he is going to harmonise the two Bills by bringing an amendment to the Employment Act, which is still in force. That is all! view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. First, I want to thank hon. Oparanya for bringing this Motion which is long overdue. We have been lucky in this country that we have not had disasters of the magnitude that is felt in other countries. However, because of our own manmade activities, we are beginning to witness disasters such as the one in Budalangi and the landslides which are caused by poor methods of cultivation. There is need for us to plant trees to ensure that they do not happen. This ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the flower industry in this country earns us good foreign money. However, the cost suffered environmentally could be dramatic. In fact, in future, we could find we do not have any river courses. This includes lakes in the Rift Valley which are drying up. What policy measure is the Ministry putting in place to ensure and to try to marry the good effects of the flower industry and its bad effects on the environment? view
• 4 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. First, I want to congratulate the Minister for the way he presented the Estimates and the way they are attempting to bring sanity in the transport sector. This is a very vital area of our economy in this country. If we do not have an efficient transport system, we cannot develop the country. We need an efficient and integrated transport system in this country. I know that over the last four or five years, the Minister has been attempting to develop an ... view
• 28 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support the debate on the Vote of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was very ably moved by the Minister. There was a time when this country's foreign policy was "wait-and-see". We would wait until other nations acted and then we would respond. I am glad to note that the Minister is now being proactive. I am glad to hear that, indeed, there is foreign policy in draft form. As Ms. Ndung'u mentioned - I am not privy to that document since I am not a Member of ... view
