• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hope my time will be taken care of. The amendment I am proposing is that after inserting the word “proposed”, the Motion will therefore read as follows:- “THAT, pursuant to Section 4A of the Public Roads Toll Act, (Cap.407 of the Laws of Kenya), this House approves Sessional Paper No.4 of 2009 on the Nairobi Urban Toll Road Concession Project laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday 8th December, 2009, together with the proposed concession agreement and tolling regime annexed thereto”. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: I am proposing this amendment because from yesterday, and even today, it is quite clear that the entire House would like the concession process to take off. The only worry, which is shared on both sides of the House is, might we be creating a window for possible corruption in this big project? So, by introducing this particular amendment, we are taking care of this because we are now bringing the Motion directly in congruence with Section 4A of the Public Roads Toll Act, Cap.4, Bullet No. 3. This bullet says a proposed agreement for the purpose of this section ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the third reason why I am proposing this amendment is that we are now having the benefit of hindsight, in the sense that in the past, similar opportunities were used by previous Governments to fleece the taxpayer. Members of this House will remember that when Safaricom was being launched, there was a clever way in which this House was used as a rubber stamp; then a shadowy company called “Mobitelea” was sneaked in and as Safaricom has grown, people have remained very angry with the kind of unfair profits that Mobitelea continues to make. Also, when ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to attempt. I was just inviting the Chair, having deliberated on the strength of Standing Order No.40, to also find that hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and hon. Musalia Mudavadi have also breached Standing Order No.97(1)(e) which provides that they have been grossly out of order by way of abusing their privileges. So, I wanted to invite you that under Standing Order No.97, you apply the power which you enjoy under Standing Order No.97 (2)(b). view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since the Ministry will re- classify all the roads in the country, has it also developed a blueprint showing exactly when those roads will be upgraded to bitumen standards? view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Minister for undertaking to come with me. However, could he indicate whether it is possible for us to be there this Friday? For the information of the Minister even this morning this private developer was still having workers on site. He has askaris who work for him on site. Could the Minister enforce the directive he has made? view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to challenge the Chair, but, surely, if the hon. Member of Parliament is saying that in Marsabit North Hospital, patients are dying of cholera and there are no doctors, you cannot possibly say that the matter will come up at a later date. It should come up this afternoon. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not want to appear to be going against the decision of the Committee which sat to look at the necessity of this amendment. But, in my own mind, we are creating a facility that is supposed to help the youth. When you now expand this to include people who are 35 years old, it simply means that we have started playing politics, because it is only in political parties where you find that the national youth leader in some of our political parties is 40 or 65 years old and that kind of ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the Assistant Minister that all qualified doctors are permitted to sign these forms, but I know for a fact that the reason why doctors do not want to sign these forms, is because upon signing these forms, and you are transferred from your former station, you may be expected to appear in court, say, in Kakamega and currently you are in Machakos. If you fail to appear in court, because the Government has not made transport arrangements for you, the court is free to issue arrest warrants against these doctors. ... view
