We feel he can answer those questions. He is a seasoned politician! My plea to the Chair is to tell some Members to relax. The Prime Minister ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologize to Mr. Mbadi. I should have only stated Mr. Ababu Namwamba. We have confidence in the Right hon. Prime Minister. He can answer questions. However, Members in the Back Bench should not be the ones purporting to want to answer questions on behalf of the Prime Minister. It is not acceptable. view

• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether you heard what the Minister said. He said that this is the best hotel. In many cases, this Minister acts as if he is representing the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) as opposed to representing the workers.

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This House is governed by Standing Orders and practices. About a month ago, when we were dealing with the issue of Mr. Wetangula, the Government side introduced a new principle.

So, since the issue we are dealing with here falls under KKV, where decisions were made by the principals--- This is the ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to say that certain films are not banned?

• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the fourth time. Last week, it was deferred, it was brought in today.
