Yes, I have heard of that name of Mr. Mwanyengela Ngali, but I am not aware that he was ever elected as Chairman of NARC(K).

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Circular is intended to allow civil servants to exit from the service with their benefits for those who are pensionable and those serving on contract terms of service to get their gratuity. If any public servant chooses to stand for an elective seat well after the date that has been given by the Government and this is not done within the three months allowed to give notice, then he will either resign or be dismissed with the risk of loss of all benefits.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be happy to have a look at that list of names so that I can comment competently on what the hon. Member is referring to. May I, please, have a look at the list?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whenever public servants have their services terminated or they are retired, they are required to present certain papers to the their 2052 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 27, 2007 personnel section in order for their pensions to be prepared after the same has been forwarded to the Director of Pensions for him or her to authenticate that the person whose pension is being applied for is actually a civil servant. In this particular case, Dr. Sally Kosgey has not, to date, submitted the following: A copy of her national identity card, commutation of pension and address form, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think there has to be a very clear understanding between sacking and retirement. Some of the people who are being referred to were retired having attained the normal retirement age of 55 years. Some may have been retired under the 50-year rule which is clearly provided for in the Civil Service Code of Regulations that the Government may retire somebody at such an age without even assigning a reason.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is hearsay! We need documentary evidence to see that any person in this country was sacked or relieved of his or her services on account of his or her ethnic background.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier on, as for the senior officers who were retired, it was done following the laid down regulations. It is clearly provided for in Regulation 24 of the Civil Service Code of Regulations, that people who are removed on account of abolition or re-organisation of office, are given three months' salary and a similar house June 27, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2053 allowance to allow them a soft landing. There is nowhere any civil servant is sacked outside the regulations as the hon. Member is trying to imply. In other words, he is ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Speech by His Excellency the President during the State Opening of Parliament. First, I want to commend the President for a well articulated Speech, well focused, very varied and one which covered almost all areas of development on what has been happening, where we are and where he intends to take this country. Moving further from that is the issue of economic growth. I recall during the presentation of the Budget by the then Minister for Finance in 2003, he promised this House that ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hope the hon. Member does not know some people who are in possession of illegal firearms. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on that score, I feel very discouraged by people who move around in the name of human rights activists. They blame police officers for shooting criminals. I wonder whether any of those activists have found those criminals in their houses holding their daughters, wives and entire families hostage! What would they say? They will say: "Wait a minute! I will call the police to come and arrest you!" A man or a woman carrying an ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are many write-ups of the HANSARD which have been going to the wrong place. We had agreed in this House, that we refer to Mr. Boniface Mganga as Mr. Mganga, and to Mr. Mwandawiro Mganga as Mr. Mwandawiro. Could that be taken note of again?
