• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question is very simple. Some of the policies and visions being made at the level of the East African Common Market might end up closing all the sectors in this country. In the wheat sector, Kenya is affected. It will no longer be a wheat-growing country. It will rely on imports. What has the Government done to ensure that the policies made at the Community level do not kill all the sectors in this country? Those polices will not kill the sectors in our neighbouring countries probably because the people ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) why Mr. Gideon Katila Kuva, the Club Manager at the Telkom Kenya-owned Ngong Road Sports Club has been treated as a casual worker for 17 years without being absorbed as a permanent employee; and, (b) what action he is taking against such Government corporations as KPTC (now Telkom Kenya Ltd.) which flout labour laws and also to ensure that Mr. Kuva is confirmed and paid proper remuneration for the period he has worked. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This House has ruled on many occasions that the answers which are given to hon. Members should be the same as the ones that the Ministers are reading. The Assistant Minister is reading a different answer from what I have here. I do not mind getting a copy of what she is reading and this Question being repeated as we move on this afternoon. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is a clear case of the Minister not participating a lot in the House. The Speaker has made many rulings to the effect that the business of the Executive should not affect this House in any way. Is the Minister in Order to come and tell us that the Cabinet is having dinner with a certain visiting Head of State so they cannot answer Questions here? view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to refer you to Standing Order 46. Standing Order 46 is very clear. It reads 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 Chair.” So, even if they were dining, there should have been a letter to your desk saying the Minister was dining with a particular Head of State. We are talking about courtesy to the House and to the Chair which this Government does not have; ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour: (a) why Mr. Gideon Kula, the Club Manager at Telkom-Kenya owned Ngong Road Sports Club, has been treated as a casual worker for 17 years without being absorbed as a permanent employee; and, (b) what action he is taking against such Government corporations as the KPTC (now Telkom Kenya Ltd.) which flout labour laws and also ensure that Mr. Kula is confirmed and paid proper remuneration for the period he has worked. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the privatization took effect, the former Kenya Post and Telecommunication Corporation (KPTC)--- view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the former KPTC was dissolved, it was split into the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), the Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) and Telkom Kenya Limited (TKL). The Assistant Minister says that this welfare which was running the sports club, so she claims, was not part of the KPTC. I wish to table enough data here, one by one, for the benefit of the Assistant Minister. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is an internal memorandum from the then KPTC which instructed the then club manager to employ the current manager. Further, as evidence that ... view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on top of that, as a proof that this institution is run and owned by Telkom Kenya, I will table bills of electricity and water. My question is why the Assistant Minister is misleading this House. This facility is owned by Telkom Kenya; it has been run by Telkom Kenya and it is only that Telkom Kenya does not want to take over some of the former employees of KTTC. view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It has become a common trend for Ministers to look at the answers at the last minute and then come here to ask for an extension of time. I am asking the Chair to address that issue because this week alone, there have been about seven cases of that nature. view
