• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I plead with the Chair just to give me the opportunity to table these lists on Thursday afternoon, showing clearly abuse of office and the trend and practice. It is a standard practice that when Ministers take over, they attempt as much as possible to put members of their community as CEOs. If there are exceptions, they are very few. It is true that there are exceptions, but I will produce a list showing the parastatals and the practice the Ministers are using. view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs the following Question by Private Notice. a) Under what circumstances did the Kenya School of Law/Council for Legal Education release two different Pre-Bar examination results on 22nd October 2010 and 3rd November 2010, for the same candidates? (b) Could the Minister table the two sets of examination results? (c) Could the Minister confirm that the candidates listed as having passed in the list dated 22nd October 20102 will attend classes in January 2011? view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kenya School of Law posted in its website and in its notice board pre-bar academic results for the Academic Year 2011/2012. A week later, they went back to the same notice board and to the same website and posted another set of results. In the first one, nothing is there to show that they were provisional results. My question is: Is there something behind this? The first list did not show the subject breakdown. Is there something wrong or is there an attempt to fail students who studied outside the country in their pre-bar exams? ... view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, both results are signed by the same people, namely, Judge Retired Richard Kuloba and Prof. W. Kulundu Bitonye. One is dated 22nd October, 2010, with the same signatures while others are dated 20th November, 2010. Why would they post provisional results in their website and on the notice board at the Kenya School of Law, if, indeed, they knew they were not the right results? view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to refer you to Standing Order No.46. With your permission, I would wish to read it as follows: “It shall be disorderly conduct for a Member to fail to ask, or for a Minister to fail to answer a Question listed on the Order Paper without the leave of the Speaker”. So far, eight Questions have not been asked and it has become a tradition. I would also wish to refer you again to Standing Order No.98, which reads as follows: view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Initially the Chair was allowing a second round, but hon. Members are already abusing that second round. It will move on even to a third round. Could I plead with the Chair that Questions be called out only once, and if hon. Members are not present, they be dropped? view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) why the Kenya Power and Lighting Company has not supplied electricity to Kithimani Makutano Water Project despite Matuu Town Council having paid the required amount for connection; and, (b) when the project will be supplied with electricity. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Matuu Town Council rightly paid in January 2009. This is about two years ago. The amount of Kshs110, 000 which the Assistant Minister purports to be the difference can only be a difference because of the time lapse. This is two years ago, whereas Matuu Town Council were given a quotation in December 2008 and a month later in January 2009 they paid the amount as per the cost during that time. The KPLC Limited gave the quotation two years ago and Matuu Town Council paid the right amount that time. The KPLC Limited never supplied ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If the works were done two years ago, the quotation was the amount which was paid by Matuu Town Council; that is Ksh384, 000. The reason the cost went up is that KPLC Limited never did the works. Now, two years later, they are demanding more money. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when Matuu Town Council was given the initial quotation, this is what the KPLC Limited had to say:- “Kindly pay this amount within a period of 90 days from the date of this letter”. They went on:- “If payment is not received within this period, the terms may be revised”. Matuu Town Council met that condition. They actually paid not within 90 days but 30 days. But even after paying within 30 days, the terms have been revised. Could the Assistant Minister consider waiving this amount of Kshs110, 000? They are punishing Matuu Town Council when ... view
