• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House? Early last year, I brought a Question about a consignment of over 200 tonnes of ivory which was impounded somewhere in Hong Kong. The ivory had passed through our Port of Mombasa. The Chair even questioned how the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) would give a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to a company which does not exist. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that there is no ivory which is being impounded from Kenya, while it is a matter that has ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me thank the hon. Minister on behalf of my colleagues. I would also inform him that sometimes the ball tends to be very slow. Now that the money is there, it should not also stay for a day with the Board; he should ensure that the money is immediately disbursed to the respective constituencies. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Prime Minister for allowing us to blow our own trumpets. There is no better opportunity than now. This Parliament has played a crucial role in fighting corruption despite the lack of co- operation from the Government. This is a Parliament which saw Ministers step aside from their offices because of the work done by this House. The Tenth Parliament is where the role of Committee has really improved and the general public has come to appreciate what the Committee of Parliament can do and what Parliament can actually do to serve their ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is not really a request but to find out about the directions you had given yesterday for the Ministry of Education to give a statement regarding Visa Oshwal Community, the school which was acquired by private individuals and which was the centre of demonstration outside the gates of Parliament. view
• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support this particular Bill, I am a little bit concerned by the reasons given by the Minister. He says the sole purpose of this Bill is for the President. Then I become very worried that the Minister for Finance only thinks about his boss. Is he aware that just the other day the Speaker instructed the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations to look into the issues of retired military men? For example, a man like General Mulinge who is on retirement is only earning a pension of Kshs17, 000. Why did you ... view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the same matter, the Attorney-General yesterday accepted that there was a system failure. I do not know whether he is listening. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Yesterday, the Attorney-General told this House that there was a system failure in the way Bills move from Parliament to his office and to the final or highest office. This is very unfortunate because this is the fourth time that a law is amended and other laws are made out there by unknown people. So, I plead with the Chair that if, indeed, this has happened, somebody must be answerable in this particular case. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House has never been in the mood it is to do as much as possible before we break. So, I am really suggesting to the Deputy Leader of Government Business to consider even withdrawing the Motion for adjournment and allow us to save that time and transact what is already in today’s Order Paper. Come Tuesday--- Police men are working and everybody else is working. Why not us, Members of Parliament? view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: (off record) view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem with the police force has not really been the man at the top office but the problem has been the political Government and especially an animal called Treasury and the Ministry of Finance. We have done a lot of reforms but we forgot to reform the Ministry of Finance view
