• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a pretty simple Motion that we give the Cabinet Secretary time to adjust themselves and see how they can implement this Act. The request for extension of time is reasonable to the extent that even us in Parliament, we came through a transition period and our Budget Process was not done as usual. Therefore, this request by the Cabinet Secretary that we give him time to sort himself out is reasonable. We need to support. Having said that, the Act as it is today, as has been said, has a lot of issues. The ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Speaker, Sir. Much has been said about the presidential system. I am very happy today that from very unlikely quarters, we are hearing about the amendment to the Constitution. In fact, for some of us, history will bear us right because the same people who went out of their way to champion the system are now telling us that they oppose. Anyway, I just wanted to say, as regards, the House--- view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think the best we can do now it to embrace the system. If we copy the American system and some bit of the copy we leave it in America – I think the best thing for us to do is to go and look for that bit that remained in America, so that the system is fully American. Hon. Speaker, Sir, concerning committees, what does the Americans do in their system? Because this is their system, what do they do during question time? Do they do the same thing? Can we learn from them so that ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a House of rules. If the Member has accepted to withdraw and has promised to bring the evidence, you need to rule that he brings the evidence tomorrow or one hour after now. He has promised to bring the evidence. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the Deputy Minority Leader does not understand the laptop project. Is he in order to mislead the House that the laptops are already in Mombasa? Can he table evidence because he is misleading the House and the country? view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I must say that corruption is a very bad thing and we must condemn it in the strongest terms possible. Having listened to the Mover of the Motion, either he did not understand the Motion that he put on the Order Paper or he just decided to be out of order in terms of the comments he made. This Motion, other than the way it was moved, looks very nice, but I want to encourage the Mover that next time, he should read the Motion and move it as he ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I believe 99 per cent of the Members in this House are educated. That is not the issue. The issue is that we must stick to relevance. It is wrong to say that nothing has been done about the Goldenberg saga when it is common sense that the matter is in court and Pattni has been in court unless one is saying that he has no faith in the Judiciary. Many of the people who were mentioned were taken to court. Let us also be very honest. Let us not be selective. Let us not bring Motions ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you need to protect me. You know when the truth is stated, it is so painful to some people. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, unfortunately, he has taken up my time for no good reason. Let us not fear to say the truth. We must fight corruption. I want to encourage the Mover and tell him that we have wasted a lot of time on the Motion. In fact, he should not urge the view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for hon. Mbadi to insinuate that the Deputy President or the President for that matter has stolen any land from anybody when we know that they have not stolen land from anybody? view
