• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the House remembers that one of the parties nominating Members to this Committee withdrew the names of three Members from this Committee. In effect, that left eight Members of the Committee, including the Vice-Chairman of the Committee. We would like to find out why either the Speaker or Clerk of the National Assembly has not given clerks to this Committee of eight Members, who to my understanding of Parliamentary practice, would still be sitting legally as a Committee under the chairmanship of the Vice-Chairman, as the Acting Chairman, until such a time that this House ... view
• 17 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to the Committee and more respect to the Chair, are we debating the issue of ethnicity or their Report? the reason why I am taking serious exception to this is that the person who is likely to be the beneficiary not only comes from Ikolomani, but also comes from my community. Does it mean that when you want to identify the first chair of a commission who happens to come from my community and constituency, then it becomes an ethnic issue? Is he in order? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is something that is worrying me here that the Narok County Council is a department within the Government and Equity Bank is private bank. Could I request that you direct the Minister to come with the Attorney-General’s opinion whether a private bank can collect money on behalf of the Government of Kenya? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the second time in as many days that the Minister has said Members of Parliament or politicians have been inciting people to invade KAA land. Could he, please, substantiate? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to the Assistant Minister, it is very difficult for the House to know whether the hunter became the hunted and ended up being killed when following some crime. What is he doing to enlist an independent investigator so as to investigate this particular case? If you leave these investigations in the hands of the police, they will be investigating themselves and the natural thing is for them to be tempted to cover up. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Also allow me to request that when the Assistant Minister brings the Statement, he should bring a report – and table it in this House – from the immediate officer supervising these officers to tell us what was their deployment, if they had been deployed to investigate any drugs. Finally, the Minister should find out whether the personal number of the police officer which was shown on the KTN was not the same as the personal number that is held by a police officer in a police station in Kakamega County. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the same issue of the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the National Assembly directed that today the Prime Minister responds to the issue of De La Rue. Indeed, I have a copy of the letter here from the Office of the Speaker which gave that directive of the Speaker to the Office of the Prime Minister. They went ahead and attached the verbatim HANSARD proceedings of this House. When you look at the Order Paper, this issue had been omitted. Could you use this opportunity to direct that this matter be on the Order ... view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have tabled a letter from the Office of the Speaker to that effect. It was sent to the Office of the Prime Minister. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to plead with you. We are aware that the Standing Orders can be applied on this issue, where the Ministers will be hard-pressed to respond to the points we are raising. But also, the same Standing Orders can be used to give these Ministers an opportunity to escape; namely, the Chair might as well ask them, if they do not to substantiate, to withdraw and apologize. On this one, we do not want any apology. Do not allow anybody to withdraw; we want them to come out and defend their minds. Why ... view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I started by requesting that I was pleading with the Chair. view
