• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to say that she cannot go to the ground because of politics and only listen to one side of the story when the request by the hon. Member was for her to visit the site? Why convert herself to a “telephone Minister” instead of being the real Minister she is and go to the ground? view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to inform the hon. Member that it is indeed true that we could have issues of not having an effective Government. There was an Egyptian Sports Minister who in September during the Paralympic Games in London touched the breasts of a 21 year old lady. He tried to claim diplomatic immunity, but he was arrested and locked up for two days. Talk about an effective government! Our case took place in June and nothing has ever been done about it purely because we do not have a Government here but in the United Kingdom, we ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the Government has done this as more of a gesture than anything else. Eighty-two districts out of 287 districts is a very small percentage considering that the girl child is most affected. The Government has committed itself and made pledges on very many occasions. Last financial year, the Government pledged that come this Financial Year, every needy girl child will have access to sanitary towels. The girl child does not have the same opportunity the teachers had of having to go on strike to get the money. I want to know from the Assistant Minister; ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has not been very kind to the women or girls of this country because it has denied them the gender rule even in State Corporations. The Government also plans to deny them this, in the House. When the Assistant Minister comes here and says that he will only provide an additional Kshs60 million in the current financial year, that is a drop in the ocean. Could the Government consider tripling this money instead Kshs300 million to, at least, Kshs1 billion so that whatever my girl-child and the Assistant Minister’s girl-child benefits, the poor girl-child benefits? ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me thank the Rt. hon. Prime Minister for having appointed my good friend and neighbour, Mr. Mbadi, to the new position, although I have noted that he does not seem to know his work; I did not see him pass a bottle of water to the Prime Minister. Of course, you know, it was an effort by the Government to scatter the Back Bench. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my clarification is as follows--- view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, obviously, this hon. Assistant Minister has been suspended for a long time and he does not know that as Members of Parliament, we pass water to each other; it is a sign of kindness. There is nothing wrong with passing water. Mr. Mbadi will learn the game. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: No; we give each other water here; not passing water of course. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. At no time did I refer to the word “Opposition.” Is the Right Hon. Prime Minister in order to put his own view
