• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, most obliged. But I just wanted to remind the Chair that you are saying very good words about the Minister. Could you kindly be specific and indicate that the person you are talking about is hon. Ojode and not Professor George Saitoti? view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the benefit of the Leader of Government Business who is a very experienced Member of the House and, of course, a presidential aspirant---. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the past, Leaders of Government Business have been coming to the House when they are aware what kind of Business is going to be transacted. In fact, it was Uncle Moody’s habit that whenever this kind of situation used to arise, he used to take the answer and read it. Could the Chair direct the Vice-President and the Minister for Home Affairs that, in future, he will be coming here with copies of answers to Questions so that when hon. Members allow him, he can then respond on behalf of the Ministries instead of ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the teachers are very hopeful, especially after what the Assistant Minister has said that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission is going to look into that matter. The same hope of teachers is that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission is alive to the fact that this Government has presided over a rising cost of living for all wananchi, teachers included. Could he confirm that if the Salaries and Remuneration Commission recommends higher rates to be paid to the teachers, he will back-date it to the time when the new Constitution came into force? view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last year this House made a resolution to the effect that it had no confidence in the Accounting Officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the same one who is there at the moment. Since the Minister is a new broom in that Ministry, could he confirm whether the reason this money has not been factored into this year’s Budget, is because he has agreed with the House that he has no confidence in that Accounting Officer and, therefore, fears that if he includes the money in the Budget, it will face the same fate ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm to the House whether the Ministry has subcontracted the collection of garbage so that it becomes clear to residents, since they pay between Kshs200 and Kshs500 per month privately to these trucks so that it is clear that the trucks that collect money after collecting garbage have been subcontracted by the Ministry? If so, could he tell us how residents would recognize the trucks from the subcontracted companies? view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. According to our Standing Orders, Questions are meant to seek for information and also press for action on the part of the Executive. If the Assistant Minister is not able to give information that will make residents wiser in knowing that they are not being short changed by paying for services that they have already paid for through taxation and rates that they pay, then it is only fair he says that he will provide the information so that wananchi can know where they stand; either to pay or not to pay ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg for your indulgence. It is on record that the hon. former Minister for Finance and Deputy Prime Minister and the hon. former Minister for Local Government and Deputy Prime Minister have both defended the position that they cannot vacate the position of Deputy Prime Minister. In so saying, they have cited none other than the National Accord. I believe they were doing this so as to assign the importance to those offices because they know that the Grand Coalition Government cannot function without those offices. Therefore, if those two hon. ... view
