• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you will be ruling on whether this Motion should continue or not, I would like you to consider that this Motion is properly before the House and the sentiments expressed by Members vary as they think they might be. They should know that Kenya is a unique state in this process in the sense that on 9th January, 2010, when Southern Sudan goes to the referendum vote, the voting will actually take place in some parts of Kenya. There are polling stations in Kenya. If that ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I could not agree with Mr. Mungatana more. I want to beg the Chair to rule that this debate should not proceed for two reasons. The first one is on the question of procedure. If you read the body of this Motion, you will find that it attempts to amend the Constitution of Kenya. Procedurally, if they wanted to amend the Constitution of Kenya, they should have brought a Constitutional (Amendment) Bill using the procedure provided. The second reason is that this Constitution of Kenya was brought and given by the ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. May I congratulate the Assistant Minister and the Government for confirming that they are soon going to pay the coffee farmers in that bailout. But equally important is that the same problem facing coffee farmers is also facing the other farmers; tea and sugar-cane farmers. Do you also view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to refuse to answer Mr. Kizito and mislead the House that Kakamega has got its share by getting 20 slots, when he knows that Kakamega County is the second biggest county in the Republic? A small county like Nyeri on the same list has got 60 slots, while the biggest county in the country, Kakamega, has only 18? Is he in order to refuse to answer Mr. Kizito? view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious Question because those schools are owned by CBOs and NGOs pretending that they are donning out charities while, in the actual sense, they collect money from those poor people and from the people who fund those Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The circumstances under which those children learn are worse than some of our public schools. Here, we are and the Government want to pump in more money. In view of the fact that we are likely to close for recess, could ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the second consecutive week the Prime Minister has not risen to address the House under the “Prime Minister’s Time”. Looking at the Order Paper, there is no indication that the Prime Minister is going to be here. Of greater concern is that as late as yesterday, the Leader of Government Business indicated that the Prime Minister would be here today to respond to some Ministerial Statements sought by hon. Members. Secondly, today is not an ordinary day in Kenya, because of the seriousness of the International Criminal Court (ICC) ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for carrying out that swoop, because it appears to have been very successful, having unearthed that 340 Somali nationals and 20 Ethiopians were living in Nairobi illegally. What is the Government doing to ensure that the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons is up to the task? Why has the Ministry allowed 360 aliens to settle in the country in spite of it being in place? Finally, what is the Government doing to ensure that the business environment in Eastleigh is not such that ... view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the second time the same Assistant Minister is misleading the House. The first time he attempted to mislead the House, hon. Washiali tabled a document. In the second one he has just said that Mumias Sugar Company has a compliance of 96 per cent. Is he in order to mislead the House when, in fact, according to the documents and proceedings of a meeting held by the Cane Pricing Committee, which I want to table, held on 23rd November, 2010, Mumias Sugar Company is found to be behind compliance ... view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The point is that the Assistant Minister is saying 96 per cent compliance to please the audience. The truth is that Mumias Sugar Company is not complying at 90 per cent. So, he is raising it to 96 per cent so as to please the audience. In the process of failing to be compliant, it is costing our farmers, Kshs899 million. Is he in order to defend the company to the extent of misleading the House that it is compliance at 96? Why does he not check to confirm? That is ... view
