• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indiscipline in public transport, especially within the Citi Hoppa and Kenya Bus Service--- A good example is the roundabout at the Inter-Continental Hotel where at five o’clock in the evening these buses are driven in an anticlockwise manner. The Assistant Minister has spoken about the TLB, which gives permits to these companies. Could he tell us the basis on which the TLB gives permits since they do not have a training school, or objective evaluation criteria for giving these permits? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether you have just seen the two Ministers I was referring to, enter the Chamber now, casually, appearing to be relaxed. They seem to be unaware of what is happening and are even smiling. The Chair could use the two as examples and actually kick them out of the House, so that tomorrow they will heed the advice which the Head of State gave yesterday about this House taking business seriously. view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want the Assistant Minister to tell us the rules and regulations the TLB has established to govern the franchise operations. Could he also explain what measures the TLB has taken to ensure the master franchise holder is able to regulate and control the operations of the franchise on this matter? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since it has come from the Prime Minister’s own words that we need to keep political temperatures down, it is only fair that he and his own office and the PNU wing bring these temperatures to the rock bottom. There are two major events taking place in the world, which, obviously, are going to impact negatively on our national economy. One of them is the revolution taking place in the Arab world, particularly in oil producing countries. The other one is the earthquake in Japan. One of them is going to affect the cost of fuel, which, ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will recall that before we went on recess, I had asked for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources touching on the issue of dead fish in Athi River. The Chair said that in the next Sitting, the Statement would be brought to the House. view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just before we went on recess, I requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources on an issue touching on dead fish in Athi River; this occurred during the short rains, which fell in March. The Chair instructed that the Statement be brought to the House in the next Sitting. view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: I am not on a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would really wish to make a plea to the Chair and also the Minister because of the nature of this matter. There is the paper they call provisional paper, as you wait for the ID, which is not recognised within Government offices. I want to plead for that document to be recognized as our people wait for the IDs, the same way provisional licences are recognised as you wait for the licence. If this document is recognized, people can get birth certificates. But as it stands today, it is not recognized even to register as ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to second this Motion. It is true that hon. Members need time to go to their constituencies and address issues of development. At the same time, the Government needs time to look at itself. I would like to suggest that the Government takes this opportunity and takes the Cabinet for a retreat. During the retreat, the two principals should read the riot act to the Ministers. I have a very powerful suggestion that one principal reads the riot act to two Ministers, in particular, Mr. Kenyatta and Mr. Samoei. The other principal ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: We do not want Ministers to describe each other negatively or insult each other. We want Ministers who are united. The two principals should know that by holding the positions they are holding, they have a lot of responsibility and must lead from the front. view
