• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to refuse to provide information? This House is not saying that he must table it now but surely on the basis of collective responsibility, that document can be availed later. Is it also in order for the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs to mislead this House that communication between governments is secretive while this House has received letters on policemen who were sacked, a letter from the American Ambassador addressed to the late Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, letters from the ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to withhold information to this House? An allegation from a friendly country like America by the American Ambassador is a very serious allegation. In the absence of any official communication tabled in this House by the Kenyan Government to the American Embassy, it is a clear indication that indeed these allegations could be true. So, is it for the Assistant Minister to tell us that he has answered the Question satisfactorily or is it for the Chair to decide that the Question has been answered ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not think the Government should be left to get away with this! We are asking to see that protest note! This is because we are suspecting that indeed there is none. So, if indeed it is there, then it is up to the Government to come and bring to this House that protest note so that we know that this Government does not deal in drugs but in its absence, then it is very clear. Who knows? Maybe the Department of Defense (DOD) said: “It is not us dealing ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We do remember the information which was passed to Mr. Dalmas Otieno; this matter of Ministers not showing up in the House to deal with matters of Parliament and they do not even have the courtesy to inform the Chair is not new. They are still waiting for the ruling of the Chair, which we were told was to be today. For the Deputy Leader of Government Business not to be aware of where the person is, is not strange, considering the Question we are dealing with; they did not know ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) whether he is aware that two water tanks at Matuu District Hospital, complete with towers and borehole accessories, were sold without following the procurement process and, if so, how much money was realized from the sale; (b) whether he is also aware that the community has objected to the illegal sale; and, (c) what action the Government will take against the officer(s) who were involved. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am glad that the Assistant Ministers who are here are not willing to defend the lazy Ministers. For once, can the Chair take some action on these lazy Ministers who do not take this House seriously, so that they can know that there is somebody known as the Speaker of this House? That should include barring them from transacting business in this House for--- view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the fact that the Assistant Minister is active does not mean that his colleagues are also active. They are lazy. I was saying that action should be taken against these lazy Ministers, so that they can appreciate that the Speaker of this House has the power to make sure that the Executive respects the National Assembly. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to make an appeal since you have said you will communicate with the Government through the Leader of Government Business. That has been done before and it has never worked. So, I have a suggestion to the Chair; if you can convene the Speaker’s Committee which deals with the Standing Orders or the rules which guide this House and we borrow from the German Parliament where if an hon. Member does not appear in the House, their allowance is deducted. Since these Ministers will come here to make technical appearances just to earn that ... view
