19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, whereas I support this particular amendment, I am just wondering whether hon. M. Kilonzo and the Committee have exercised their minds on one point; that in appointing this Secretary to the Commission, he will be essentially the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Commission, yet in this Bill, we have not bothered to describe his qualifications. Do you not think that it would have been necessary for us to add whether we need the CEO to have a degree and what kind of degree and if he has a degree, how many years of experience he ...

19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am not convinced. I think hon. Abdikadir should tell us more. We remember in this House, when we had the issue of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), we were told that the NHIF Act does not provide for the tabling of regulations, and that was why the Minister did not bring them to the House. Probably, if we do not have this amendment by Eng. Gumbo, we could have a situation like that of the NHIF, where when we required that we look at regulations, we would be told that the Act does not ...

I would like to congratulate hon. Namwamba for their effort to bring this standard because I recall in this House, we were faced with this challenge and it was very difficult. I remember we made a momentous decision based on the social life of one of the nominees. Now that we have these standards, people will no longer have to fear to apply for jobs. I support.

7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a pity that Kenyans from Turkana are today facing the challenge of hunger and in fact some are dying when the stores in Moiâs Bridge, Kitale and Lugari are full. What has the Assistant Minister done to ensure that the maize is urgently released to the areas that urgently require relief food to create room for the farmers to sell their maize?

7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs has implied that Members are not too clear about the difference between a Ministerial Statement and Ordinary Questions or Questions by Private Notice. I just want him to tell the House whether he is aware that according to the Standing Orders, before a Member has an opportunity to rise on a Ministerial Statement, he gets the clearance of the Chair. Is he, therefore, casting aspersions on the ability of the Chair to award that permission or what exactly does he mean?

7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is so nice that we are finally doing the First Reading of this very important Bill. But I have serious concerns about the manner in which it is being brought before this House. You will notice that it is being brought by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. I have agonized, read and re-read the new Constitution, especially Schedule Six that indicates how this Constitution will be implemented. Specifically, Part V describes the Commission of Implementation which is very clear about the functions and, if you allow me, ...

7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
I, therefore, find it touching on unconstitutionality to allow the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to be the one presenting the Bill before this House. I would request the Chair to guide the House as to whether we can or cannot allow, so as to be seen to be complying with the new Constitution, the Attorney- General, as contemplated in this Constitution, to be the one doing what Mr. M. Kilonzo is seeking to do.
