• 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
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this answer, I notice that the funding to Ewaso Nyiro Development Authority was broken into two bits. The first one was for water resource development and management. The second one was for catchment conservation. Is the Assistant Minister satisfied that this money was well utilised in view of the fact that Kshs780,000 was used for capacity building; that is, training people on how to use water? Do we really need to train women in the rural areas on how to use water? They know how to use water! They give some water to their goats. ... view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm that the reason why he 1842 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 16, 2008 has taken this exercise to the respective districts is to ensure that the beneficiaries of the recruitment will be the locals of the respective districts and it is meant to make it clear to the District Education Officers (DEOs) who import beneficiaries from outside the districts where they work? view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to suggest that when Mr. Namwamba raised this issue of great national importance - since it touches on corruption - he was being abusive? Is that parliamentary language? view
