• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Right Hon. Prime Minister said that his Ministers are here, and there is nobody to challenge his assertion that, that is the position of the Government. But we know that there is another position by the “other” Government, which is represented by none other than the Minister who went to court and appealed against the ruling on the validity of the appointments of the County Commissioners, contrary to the advice of the Attorney-General. Perhaps, he can take the challenge and tell us whether the “other” Government is for the other position. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in as much as it is a right for Members to ask Questions, the last time we had debate, the issue of boundaries came up. An issue came up between one Member and another. That was in Coast Province and North Eastern Province. What came next as a result of that Question on the Floor of the House were the Tana River clashes and the deaths which followed. I would really plead with the Chair that in as much as we want to settle our problems as a constituency through the Floor of the House, ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I brought the issue that hon. Musila has raised to the Speaker but not on the Floor. As this could be a security issue, I suggested that a particular area be reserved, just as in the UK, where demonstrators can come to. The Government has totally failed and that is why everybody is coming to Parliament – they recognize the role of Parliament. As much as we want the issue of security to be addressed, we do not want to leave it to the Government because they will make sure ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am curious to know what the Minister or the Government has done because the biggest problem we have is Ministers inciting people and, of course, running to Parliament to make personal statements. It has happened before and it has happened today. So, what will the Minister do with his rogue Ministers who serve in the Government? Before these Ministers come to make personal statements after inciting people, this Minister should make sure that they have gone through the courts so that we can know that he is serious. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Judging by the contributions by hon. Members which are basically repetitive, could I ask the Chair to call upon the Mover to respond? view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, after consulting the good Committee, I have withdrawn the amendment. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think this is a case of double standards. We do this in Parliament, but out there, we do not want it to be done. You want people to sponsor Parliament to go for seminars and conferences which are paid for by other parties. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, this is very interesting, because none other than myself rose in Parliament and objected to SUNY funding a guest of Parliament. This is because the former Ambassador used to say he controls Parliament. I even went to see the Deputy Speaker in his office. What did he do about it? Those are issues which are still pending and I would still want to hear from the Deputy Speaker. He should come and tell us why--- view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am just responding. I am saying this is a case of double standards because if a foreign country can say it controls Parliament, then we should have no business receiving money from them. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Deputy Speaker is a good friend of mine. It is only that I got an opportunity to deal with that issue of the former American Ambassador. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what I am basically saying is that the recommendations by the Committee are very fair. Surely, if we are accepting training, why would we not want health workers to be trained? The Committee has recommended and given conditions for that. view
