• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: 1612 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 2, 2008 Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, finish by appealing to the appointing authority in the Republic of Kenya that we have 224 able men and women in this House who can serve in the position of Minister for Finance. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like, in so saying, to make it clear that I have no interest personally in the position of Minister for Finance. I am comfortable where I am. I would like the appointing authority to know that if it is the question of regional balancing, then, in the region and ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week the Chair was kind enough as to defer matters that I had raised earlier in this House in respect of the printing of new generation Kenya currency notes. I stand to request that the Minister now gives us an opportunity to respond to this most important issue. Secondly, I had raised the issue of the breakdown of the chain of command at the Administration Police Training College. I also request that I be given an answer to that question. Finally, I had filed a Motion touching on a ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The weight of this matter is such that it is not just limited to this House. This is because late this morning, the Republic of Libya recalled Libya's Ambassador to Kenya. He has gone back home. He was recalled to Tripoli, late this morning. That signifies the innocence of the Republic of Libya in the so-called "involvement" in this particular deal. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of that, could you, with due respect, rule that this matter actually finds its way on the Order Paper tomorrow morning? view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Like my colleagues who have spoken before me, we are requesting that this matter should not be debated at this moment because the purpose of debate in this House is for the express need of the Minister moving that particular Motion to be informed by the contributions made by hon. Members. But since Mr. Kimunya is on record as having said that when hon. Members touch on issues of national importance - like the one in question - they normally do so, in his view, from a point of ignorance, ... view
• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the breeding of fish in Lake Victoria takes place in Kenya, upstream. When the poor fishermen of Kenya are caught in Uganda and Tanzania, the truth is that they are merely following their fish. Could the Minister tell us what he is doing to remind Tanzanians and Ugandans that they should give some form of concession to us because we allow them to reap where they did not sow? view

• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution of Kenya at the beginning of this year, so that we could bring one of the Principals to June 19, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1279 this House to directly answer our Questions. Given that the Minister has said that the prerogative is with the Executive--- Now that the position of the Executive is shared between a Principal who sits in this House, could we request that we allow the Prime Minister to come and address this issue on behalf of our youths? view
• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chair also ruled that my request for a Ministerial Statement on the issue of the unrest at the Administration Police Training College would be submitted today. view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the motive of the murder of Mr. Orina was because he stumbled on evidence that was confirming that the CDF money for Saboti was mismanaged to the tune of over Kshs100 million. Since the CDF money is managed by a Committee, what action will the Assistant Minister take against the 15 members of the Saboti CDF Committee, who in connivance actually swindled this money, for which they killed Mr. Orina? view
