• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The truth is that the Grand Coalition Government has failed. The Grand Coalition Government has let down Kenyans. A situation has even evolved where the Ministers on the Government side have moved to the Back Bench. A clear evidence is Hon. Onyonka. They are now crying with the Back-benchers. Who is in charge of this Government? If Ministers are going to come here and cry rather than give us solutions, is there no collective responsibility or were the Assistant Ministers not inducted? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the biggest failures is ... view
• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is on the same line but from the Executive side. A Minister cast aspersions on the way the National Assembly is being run, thereby pointing directly to your office. This particular hon. Member, who is an Assistant Minister, implied that, indeed, we are making very many unnecessary trips abroad and the Chair is authorizing trips which are not supposed to be authorized. The rule of separation of powers should be respected. We found it in bad taste for a junior Minister in the Government to criticise the running of this Assembly ... view
• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are seeking your ruling on the conduct of the Executive - that is the Executive arm of the Government. The Executive criticised the Chair and hon. Members. Being a new hon. Member, he should have taken time to learn how business is conducted in this House. 3538 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 25,2008 view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Attorney-General the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Attorney-General aware that Ms. Grace Mwikali Mumo was involved in an accident and was awarded Kshs304,695 vide Kajiado RMCC No.10 of 2001? (b) Is he further aware that Ms. Mumo is still ailing and urgently requires money for specialised treatment? (c) Could the Attorney-General explain why it has taken so long to pay the claimant and state when she will be paid? view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on many occasions, the Chair has ruled that before Questions are answered, the Government should look into the subject issue being raised by hon. Members. In this particular case, I have a letter from the Office of the Attorney-General which is addressed to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Roads and Public Works. It states that they are seeking authority from the Treasury. Meanwhile, they want the cheque for Kshs305,000. He has given a breakdown of the cheque amount. He further says that he has annexed the relevant documents for your action. The particular document the Attorney-General ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Attorney-General say that he does not know how I got the document. I want to tell him that I am very well-connected. Nevertheless, he has said that he is going to ensure that the payments are made. This lady is representing herself and the original document has been submitted to the Attorney-General's office. The Attorney-General has asked for the certified document. A certified document was submitted in September this year. Could the Attorney-General "bend" fast enough and have these payments made by the end of the month? view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is true that a similar Question was brought here, and that time it was answered by the Ministry of State for Provincial Adminstration and Internal Security. They gave a different answer because it touched on the recruitment of drivers from ASAL areas, in particular Turkana. Now the same Government has brought another answer to a similar Question and said they relax rules. I am seeking your ruling on this point of the same Government giving different answers to the same Question. view

• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister used to sit with me on this side. I am sure he remembers one case in Makueni where a senior police officer was sacked through the influence of a Minister purely because he blocked the supporters of the Minister from invading private farms. The name of that officer is on this list. Was that sacking justified? What action is the Assistant Minister taking to ensure that, that officer is either compensated or reinstated? view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
