• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment because in the Fourth Schedule of the Bill, there is the code of conduct for members and the employees of the Commission which among other things says:- “Every member and employee of the Commission shall impartially and independently perform the functions of a member in good faith and without fear, favour or prejudice and without influence from---“ Because of that, I have no doubt that this has already been taken care of and my brother Kioni will be more than willing to withdraw this amendment. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to support the principle of inclusiveness that is being proposed by the Committee. However, I am a little bit worried as other hon. Members have said that we are giving a lot of leeway to the President and the Prime Minister and running away from political parties. I think political parties, as institutions, will be more representative than the President and the Prime Minister. If there is a struggle or some competition within the panel, certainly that is also represented by a proposal of names forwarded by the President and the Prime Minister. I do ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I completely disagree with this. This is partly because in the first instance, the defunct IIBRC has not completed a process. The process was in the making and a review has not been done. It would be wrong for anybody, and I want to be on record, because this is not a question of numbers; it is a question of views. I want my views to be heard on this so that it goes on record that that was just a process, which was never completed. It cannot constitute a first review for all purposes. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, if we are going to impose views--- view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: I need your protection from hon. Mbadi. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, thank for that protection. We came from a very difficult process in 2007. Some of the things that we rush through in anticipation that we are the beneficiaries are the things that are going to sow seeds of discord in this country. There is one such amendment that has been brought here. The review by the defunct Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission will not constitute a complete process. It was in the making and was never completed. Everybody knows very well what happened to that. It was also based on population census and I want to remain ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I have an amendment that is before you. I am contributing to this debate, but if you are asking that I move my amendment, I will do so. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, thank you for your guidance. I oblige. Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Paragraph 2 of the Fifth Schedule be amended in the first line by deleting the word “shall” appearing after the word “Commission” and substituting therefor the word “may”. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) what the trend of Direct Foreign Investment (DFI) in Kenya has been compared to the rest of the East African Community member States; and, (b) what measures the Ministry is taking to encourage more DFI. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for a fairly detailed answer. However, from the answer, you can see him going round in circles, and sometimes contradicting himself in the process of attempting to answer this question. When you do not have reliable statistics from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and come to answer a question - The Assistant Minister himself admitted this - how are we expected to accept this answer? Having said that, does this Ministry which is largely responsible for issues regarding investments, have concrete, specific annual plans and targets ... view
