• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that these "fellows" will want to go and take a rest but I have the right to be heard. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could you protect me? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to oppose the Motion. In most cases, when you want money even in the private sector and you are asking for a lumpsum amount of money, you must specify it. It was not our intention to approve the 50 per cent of the Estimates. Nevertheless, we want to tell the Government that it is not going to be business as usual. We want to see a united Government. The Ministers go out there and attack each other in public, but when it comes to the Budget, they are united so much because there is money ... view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: That is relevant! Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to say that this time round, we are giving the Government 50 1434 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 25, 2008 per cent, but we do not want to be told that money has been returned to the Treasury at the end of the financial year. This is always the practice. The Ministers and Assistant Ministers have all signed performance contracts--- This was a reasonable Budget, but it should be implemented on the ground. That is where the catch is. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If I were to remind the Chair, we agreed in the last sitting that since I had asked for a Ministerial Statement on the same issue, this Question should be combined with the Ministerial Statement. Therefore, I could ask my supplementary questions under the same Question rather than wait for the Ministerial Statement. I am requesting the Chair to accommodate me and allow me to ask my questions now. view

A few years back, it took us one to two days to get an official search. Today, it takes us between two and three weeks to get the same document. What is the problem? Why is it taking so long to get an official search today? view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My good brother, Mr. Nyagah and my good sister, Ms. Murugi are interrupting the good speech by the hon. Member. Are they in order to interrupt the business of this House? view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think one of the reasons why we have this problem is that the Order Paper sometimes comes out as late as 10.00 a.m. and Members cannot know what Questions were to come today. So, I wish to suggest that, if it is possible, the Order Paper be ready by 6.00 a.m. of the following day. view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The tradition of the House is very clear in as far as tabling of documents is concerned. Is the Assistant Minister in order to present a CD before the House, a document which even the Speaker cannot authenticate? view
