• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in most of the universities, they have made it possible for the Christians to put up chapels where they pray. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that he will liaise with the universities so that they donate land to the Muslims who can then build their own mosques within our universities? view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like a clarification on the promised restructuring of the KBC. The Managing Director, the Editor-in-Chief, the Television Programmes Manager and the Manager in charge of IT all have suspect qualifications. In fact, on 21st October, 2010, this was a matter before this House in respect of the MD. Could the Minister confirm that in this restructuring, he is going to subject all the senior managers to competitive recruitment so that they are hired afresh, so that the best Kenyans are the ones in charge of our premier Kenya Broadcasting Corporation? view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to feign ignorance of the harassment that junior staff are subjected to, when he knows that even after a court process, one artist called Elina Shiveka, continues to be victimized? She is languishing in Kisumu just because she cannot meet some of the expectation of her senior? Is he in order? view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to my understanding, this Question had already become the property of the House. But now the way the matter is being navigated it is like it is being reduced to an issue between the Questioner and the Minister. If, indeed, it was a matter before the House and, therefore, the property of the House, we had prepared supplementary questions. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been a victim of this kind of attitude in this House before when I was moving a Motion. Purely on procedure, could the Chair prevail upon the Members that we want to debate this Motion? We do not want to debate points of order. Could the Members let the Minister finish his business so that we catch your eye? We want to contribute. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Petition. I note that KBC enjoys funding from the Government. It also realizes huge amounts of money through collections from Appropriations-in-Aid (A-in-A). Therefore, the issue of financial management comes to question at this Corporation. You know very well as the chief of this institution that the services that we are enjoying here are not for free. The millions of shillings that Parliament has been paying is part of the collection as A-in-A and because this has been going on for three years plus, we would be interested to know how this ... view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: 2 Thursday, 1st March, 2012 (P) Finally, maybe, this is the time for the Government, and mainly the President and the Prime Minister, to ask themselves whether or not they want to leave a legacy in this country whereby the only time they respond to matters of welfare of members who serve the Government is when those people go on strike. I beg to support. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Advocates at the Bungoma High Court have been boycotting court sessions since 2011 in protest of the shortage of judges at the court? view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: 3 Thursday, 1st March, 2012 (P) (b) What measures will the Minister take to arrest the situation, which is denying Kenyans access to justice? view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sad situation in Bungoma is partly due to the shortage of judges in the country but also due to poor administration. Under the new Constitution, we expected that Justice Willy Mutunga would live true to the spirit of justice. There are 94 High Court Judges in Kenya, 28 of them are in Nairobi which has a population of about four million people. Bungoma with a population of just below two million people has got only one judge. Kakamega with a population of around two million has only two judges. If there was proper administration, the very ... view
