• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The hon. Imanyara has just said that a Cabinet Minister went and corruptly caused the President to transfer land that is very important to my very good people of Meru to an individual. Could I request that he substantiates this very serious allegation? view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The rules of debate require that a Member is responsible at the level of facts for whatever he or she says in this House. Secondly, the same rules of debate say that the only Member who needs a substantive Motion for him to be mentioned here is a serving Member. So, because there is no need for a substantive Motion and the rules of debate require that a Member must be responsible for his allegation or utterances, could we insist that for the sake of fighting corruption in this country and ... view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Minister on his Vote and wish to thank you for giving me this opportunity. Like those who have spoken before me, we all have this feeling that Mr. Orengo has brought a breath of new life at the Ministry of Lands. We are hoping that he is not going to become weak at the knees and that, he will continue with the reform agenda. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the first thing I would like to comment on is the issue of Land Registry. I believe that part of the reform agenda ... view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to paraphrase my statement. I meant that hon. Orengo is now enjoying part of the Executive power by virtue of being the Minister for Lands. Could he, therefore, exercise the Executive powers by making sure that what the President announced--- The President has actually delegated those powers to him! Could he make sure that the land reverts to Masinde Muliro University? The President was clear on that 1992 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 22, 2008 issue last year, and also when he was there recently during the graduation ceremony. He said that the Old Kakamega Showground ... view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while the public is waiting for that law to come in force, the boys who operate in this mode of transport commonly known as Boda Boda are harassed seriously if they engage in business after 6.00 p.m. Could the Minister direct that the police should not harass these boys, but instead, they should provide security for Boda Boda users and the operators at night? view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while we all mean very well about each other, in view of the fact that the Constitution is very clear on what would happen if the President left the good world at the wrong time, and in view of the fact that at the moment, we are aware that the Prime Minister, in the public eye, has assumed that high role, where would this country be found if, in the absence of the President for that wrong reason, the Prime Minister demanded that he is the one who has the power to discharge his duties? view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is important for us to say that the recovery being noticed at NBK is something very welcome and Parliament supports the current leadership. However, the Minister should tell us the issue of due process because he has said that they sought and got Cabinet approval, which is very well. However, could he inform the House what was so difficult for them taking a step further by preparing a Sessional Paper and bringing it to this Parliament so as to get parliamentary approval as the procedure requires? Secondly, could he confirm that it was a ... view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the Report of the Controller and Auditor-General (C&AG) of 2006/2007 about this matter, the C&AG was challenging the Minister for Finance--- view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: It was only last year. He was challenging the Minister for Finance to show why he refused to bring a Sessional Paper to this House to seek approval! Is this Minister in order to suggest that I am personalizing it, when I am only advancing the due process as captured by none other than the C&AG? view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while we gladly wish to recognise that it is important that this money be given to the Minister immediately, it is also important for the Minister to note that it is not about re-inventing the wheel. This afternoon, he just told us that he set up a task force to look at ways of solving traffic problems in Nairobi. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is a highly travelled person and he knows that the best cities in this world, Bangkok being one of them, did not solve their transport congestion problems using task forces. They ... view
