• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: I have a second point of order but it looks like Mr. Chachu wants to speak on this particular point of order. Do I do the second point of order or I allow him? view
• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: My second point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is that two weeks ago, I asked the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 to come and address the House on the issue of reports by the National Taxpayers Association (NTA). The Minister promised to bring the answer but he has failed to do this. I was shocked that over the weekend, he seemed to be releasing the statement in a funeral in Mumias only to request that if possible, he brings the answer this afternoon so that we deal with it. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the same point of order I would like to draw your attention to Standing Order No.41 (2) which says:- “A Question shall be of a genuinely interrogative character and its purpose shall be limited to seeking information or pressing for action” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if a Member of Parliament is asking a Question so as to press for action in a specific period of time and then the Question pends in the Ministry--- For example, if it was requesting that a patient be taken to hospital and the patient ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, using Funyula, Ikolomani, Naivasha and Vihiga as examples, where we have been doing consultations, when you go to these three constituencies, you actually see CDF projects visible and its impact is felt. Is the Minister satisfied that the Youth Enterprise Fund has a similar impact especially in Funyula, Ikolomani and the other constituencies? Finally, on the allegations of embezzlement of the funds at some of the intermediary institutions that he is using with KUSCO as an example, could he confirm that he is on top of things? What is he doing to ensure that the corruption ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the same point of order by Mr. Namwamba I urge you with all due respect to find that all that Mr. Namwamba has been doing is to express in legal terms his rejection of the Report of the Committee. To purport to request the Chair to rule that this Report cannot be debated, in my view, would be proceeding on the assumption that parliamentary committees operate on the basis of jungle law. You know very well that parliamentary committees work with the support of the clerical arm of Parliament based ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you keep your cool that is exactly what I am doing. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Most obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The third point that I was citing was that the very fact that this Motion has received the Speaker’s assent, it means that in accordance with the Standing Orders the Speaker found the Motion constitutional. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member would like us to fail to debate this matter because he believes that the Committee did not--- view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is what I believe in; to purport that the Committee went beyond vetting and actually interviewed these people, for us to believe that there must be evidence. In the Report the only evidence for interviewing is an annexture of the scores that these people got when they appeared before the panel. The Committee itself has not given us any scores showing that after they interviewed them this is how those people scored. So, all that they are telling us is that they vetted them and found merit as per the Report. Finally, to attempt ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security-: (a) Is the Minister aware that due to the controversy surrounding the appointment of the Chief of Kiminda Location in Nandi Central, the rate of crime has been escalating at a very alarming rate? (b) What is the Minister doing to restore normalcy in the area? view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the written answer, the Assistant Minister has told us that the little boy, aged 9 years, is not going to school. He has also told us that the 17 year old boy is doing casual work, which in effect also amounts to the fact that the child is being abused. In view of the fact that in the Assistant Minister’s office and all the Ministries of the Government they are even supplied with fresh flowers every morning and spend millions of shillings on them, why is it taking too long for them to bring ... view
