• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I ask my Question, allow me to remind the Speaker that in the Old Chamber we had a great statement here and I do not see what offence it caused because it was a constant reminder to all of us to be humble in serving the public of Kenya. I beg that you reconsider reintroducing those words even if you want to amend a little bit in recognition of issues of gender. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, and a clock. The words were: “For the Welfare of Society and the just Government of Men.” view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Local Government:- (a) whether he could inform the House why Rapido Construction Company Ltd., the contractor rehabilitating the road from St. James Hospital on Mombasa Road to Amboseli Estate in Nairobi South C has abandoned the site before completion; (b) when the contractor will resume rehabilitation work and save tax payers the agony of walking through mud in the rains and dust in the hot season; and, (c) what the value of the contract CCN/CE/TO41/CE/2009-10 is, how much money has been paid and what the balance is. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: However, I do not have a written answer. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no problem with that but could you direct that I be given the written answer five days before those ten days because there are issues of accounting there. So I would like to compare what it is that they want to give with the facts on the ground. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Hon. Shakeel has stated that loans were given preferentially to friends of the Ministers and senior officers. This is a very serious allegation. Could he kindly substantiate, so that we can see the kind of corruption that goes on in this Ministry? view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is an experienced officer in the line of Provincial Administration. In fact, he was my Provincial Commissioner (PC) for many years in Kakamega. As a matter of fact, he knows the challenges that young officers go through under the hands of aged and experienced officers. I would like the Minister to take this matter very seriously because I have an interest in it. The young officer is my cousin’s daughter. She will be 25 years old in a few months’ time.

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just on a point of procedure, you know we are trying to acclimatize to this new system. There is something I have observed. When a Minister is speaking from there and he comes to the Dispatch Box, by the time he is back these seats are occupied. It has happened this afternoon.

Would you consider putting a mobile chair there, so that any Minister who wants to take supplementary questions can then use the mobile chair which ... view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want a small clarification. You remember this morning both the President and the Speaker said that the Old Chamber was created on the Prime Minister model, the adversarial model. They said that the horse-shoe shape was non-adversarial. To my understanding, that means this horse-shoe shape creates only one Front Bench; the shape is like this all the way. So wherever you speak from, you are on the Front Bench. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have no problem with the procedure that the Minister has adopted to give us the progress report and expect us to support him in extension of time. But, would you not, in your own opinion, consider and find that it would have been more useful if we had looked at the progress report, be satisfied with the contents and be encouraged to then give him the extension that is required? Is this not tantamount to putting the cart before the horse? view
