• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must emphasize the importance of this Motion. The import of this Motion is that when the Minister behaved in the manner he did, there was no lacuna in law. He was doing so when he was fully aware of the existence of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act. The purpose of this Act was to establish procedures for procurement and disposal of public entities so as to increase transparency and accountability in those procedures and increase public confidence in the process. I, therefore, beg all hon. Members to support this Motion and send the not ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: I apologise, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When I talked about goats and sheep, I was talking about the poor Kenyans who have no voice to resist when they are confronted with such challenges.I wish to apologise. The Minister for Finance has decided to treat public property as if it was personal or partisan property, which this Motion wishes to advance that he has gone ahead and attempted and actually initiated the process of converting it into partisan and personal gain. I wish to point out that this is evidenced in three areas; the manner in which he handled the Initial ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs of the Republic of Kenya say that he wanted the Government to respond on behalf of an individual who is deemed to be corrupt. Is this Motion of Censure against the Government or an individual? This is a Motion of Censure on an individual and not the Government, unless you want us to move a different Motion. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank all hon. Members who, this afternoon, have stood up and contributed in support of this Motion. I note that all of them, apart from only one speaker, have supported the Motion. I am very thankful to them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chair for respecting the rule of natural justice by giving hon. Kimunya an opportunity to contribute. I want to thank hon. Kimunya because, in his contribution, he has actually alluded to what I had told the House earlier that, yes, indeed, he is ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: But we graduated the same year because I was doing a degree that takes more years at the School of Medicine. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Minister, I want to caution the House that all the Minister did was to give us a flowery account of his curriculum vitae, something that is not special in the Tenth Parliament because all these are men and women of great repute! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for telling us that he has a wonderful family of a mother, father, wife and daughter. But that is nothing special because, in this House, I know of men and women who have more than ten children, Dr. Khalwale included! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to beg the Vice-President of Kenya that when he stated that I was using hard language, it is because of the mood of the moment. He is lucky that I was not speaking in Kiluhya, which is even harder! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: But, Mr. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, take it easy. The Motion is not against your Government; it is against an individual in your Government. You have nothing to lose! We are making your Government look even better! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: How I wish the Minister of Finance had responded to the issues that I raised! I itemised them one by one. But, instead of responding to them, the House has heard you! You simply shifted blame by saying: "Oh! The Grand Regency! Oh! Orengo knew! Oh! Grand Regency! They told the Prime Minister! Oh! IPO! Oh!" No! view
