• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not accusing anybody but look June 18, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1213 very carefully. Most of those hon. Members are in court on corruption charges. Others have been adversely mentioned in Goldenberg and others in Anglo Leasing. So, when you make your money, you are so happy that you made your money and when you come to the House--- view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair has ruled before that we are doing serious business. We are not looking after goats somewhere in Ukambani. That was the ruling of the Chair! I do not even need to mention more about my colleague, but it is very simple. The fact that you have been elected to be a Member of Parliament does not cleanse you from your evil deeds out there. I left my professional office without touching any taxpayers' money. view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Indeed, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the guilty are afraid! However, since he wants me to mention him, let me do it! view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he has requested it. I refused to do so the first time, but he has requested. So, could I mention him? view

• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me your protection. This country is now turning to be one of the rich. When the Minister for Finance says that he will raise the capital base for small banks from Kshs250 million to Kshs1 billion, he can only be targeting the poor man! The average Kenyan will never open a bank. Equity Bank is a very good case of a small bank which started from a humble beginning but, today, it is one of the very big ones. Equity Bank taught the big banks a lesson. The big banks were ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are seeking your ruling on this issue. From what the Leader of Government Business said, it is very clear that even he himself is not sure of the correct position. This is the highest office in this country. Parliament should not be seen to be flouting all the laws of the land when conducting its business. So, we would like to know whether Assistant Ministers, without letters of appointment, can answer Questions here. The letters of appointment are very clear; they give the terms of reference. So, we have Assistant Ministers performing their respective roles without ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my good friend, Mr. Duale, should know that two wrongs do not make a right! We want a ruling from the Chair, not from hon. Members. This is a very simple matter. We are asking: Should Assistant Ministers answer Questions when the Government does not even recognise them? The Government is not paying them salaries; they are being paid through vouchers! view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
