• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to table this ruling by the honourable court so that I request the Chair to now come up on Tuesday and allow us to interrogate why the Government has refused to license Butali Sugar Factory; an investment of Kshs3.2 billion, offering 2,000 direct jobs for our youth and 6,000 indirect jobs to the other farmers and players. This should be treated urgently because the sugar-cane which was grown to service Butali Sugar Factory has now overgrown. Thank you. view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, irrespective of whether we know that there are other cases or not – because the Chair is an outstanding legal mind – I am hoping that when he will be making the ruling, he will address himself to the legal thing called “double jeopardy”. If the High Court has already made a ruling on a particular matter, why should the same ruling again be brought up? It amounts to double jeopardy and I expect that the Chair will address himself to this. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kioni has been delayed in traffic and has requested that, if you cannot delay the Question, then you can allow the House to receive the answer. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Many Members of Parliament who come here early on Wednesdays have usually already filed Questions which are queuing for time. Because of these hon. Members who do not want to keep time, our Questions keep on queuing and the Chair goes out of its way to call out the Questions a second time and to give those people an opportunity to come and apologize here. For the last two weeks, every Wednesday, we have been lacking the way forward because hon. Members do not come to the House on time. We ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard the hon. Member say that he filed this Question three weeks ago and the excuse given by the Assistant Minister is that he wants to sit with the Pricing Committee. That Committee is not an ad hoc Committee of the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB). It is actually a standing committee and this matter, I am afraid, if the Chair does not use its discretion to push this Assistant Minister, they are planning to have a meeting where the Managing Director of Mumias Sugar Company (MSC) wields so much influence ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am sorry to interrupt our Prime Minister, but, indeed, he knows that the country is very anxious because the Government Spokesman, Dr. Alfred Mutua, has just announced that the Government of the United States is going to overthrow the Government--- view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand on the same point of order to request the Chair that while making this ruling, to seriously consider the fact that this matter is not only topical, but the Government of the United States, we are given to understand, took the trouble to contact our Prime Minister. Could he, therefore, kindly accept to step down his Statement from being interrogated and instead tell us what the conversation was about? Probably, he could clarify if that conversation was trying to make sure that whatever Wikileaks will leak in respect of ... view

• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to remind the Prime Minister that listening to him, he wants to treat the call from the Government of the USA to the Prime Minister of Kenya as being casual. Mr. Prime Minister, unless you are referring to the old Constitution, Article 35(3) of the new Constitution states as follows: “The State shall publish and publicize any important information affecting the nation”. Mr. Prime Minister, in view of this, I have stood here on an earlier point of order and asked that you make a full disclosure of that conversation. I requested that ... view
