• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am fully satisfied. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my greatest concern is in respect of what the Assistant Minister has said – that the Kshs3 billion was diverted to other projects within the country. Given that Kshs3.2 billion does not just fall off trees – it is a lot of money – could he tell us the projects they chose to send the money to, and deny it to this very important project, which would solve the poverty problem in Mwatate, since farmers would use the road to take their fresh produce to Mombasa? We want to move from the bad old days. We also ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has told us that somebody came to her office claiming a payment of over Kshs500 million for work done. Could she tell us whether she is aware that within the Government, we have the Pending Bills Closing Down Committee which has been there for quite some time and it is a legal entity? And if she is aware, why did she choose to discharge the responsibility of trying to ascertain this and be tempted to allow him to be paid instead of referring the matter to the legal entity, the Pending Bills ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, similarly, before we went on Recess, I had requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Agriculture in respect of the operating licence of Butali Sugar Company. The reason she had given was that the matter was possibly sub judice . I want to inform the Chair that the matter has since been heard, determined and orders issued. So in view of that, could you direct that the Minister now comes and responds? view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point was that the issue being in court created a window of escape for the Minister and now that that has been sorted--- view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: My apologies, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I meant that it created an opportunity for her to delay the answer. I still need that she comes to respond because the gist of my Ministerial Statement is that we wanted an operating licence and we have not received it for our sugar company. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My point of order is informed by a very simple concern by Kenyans that the promulgation of the new Constitution was on 27th August, 2010. It is now 31 days ago. The Minister deliberately allowed us to go on recess without bringing in the one crucial Bill for us to debate; the Bill on the formation of the Commission for implementation which is the engine of the implementation process. So, why I am rising on a point of order is that when I scanned the Order Paper, I did not see ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not seeking a Ministerial Statement. I was just standing on this point of order to address the issue of arrangement of the Order Paper for the business of the House. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not like to mislead the House. I sat in the last HBC meeting where we deliberated that this matter comes before the House. The Clerk, in his wisdom, in our pigeon holes, has already informed us that the business of this week was starting with that particular business as we had decided in the last HBC meeting. I am, therefore, worried that the Committee, being a smaller appendix of the entire House, it should hear it from the Chair - who does not sit in the Committee - that we want to transact that ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you directed yesterday that following a point of order raised by hon. Mbadi, I substantiate my claims that NARC (K) party sponsored her own cocktail party at the City Cabannas. view
