• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to avoid the question? If the Assistant Minister was answering this Question, he would have said the following: “I will ensure the injured person is treated today!” Now, the Minister is saying that he will look into it. Could he clarify what this “look into” business is all about? view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Attorney-General:- (a) whether he could inform the House what became of the approximately Kshs. 5 billion held by the Central Bank of Kenya and other commercial banks in “frozen” accounts belonging to “pyramid scheme’s”, (b) when the “pyramid scheme” victims will be refunded their money; and, (c) why the Government has failed to institute criminal proceedings against the directors/proprietors/officials of the schemes? view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Every time the issue of pyramid schemes has come up--- This Question has been in this House for more than four months and every time it comes up for answering, it happens that the Government has very important business to attend to out there. Therefore, can I get a guarantee from the Chair that in the event that the Attorney-General is not available, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs will act in his place? view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As a plea to the Assistant Minister, since he is going to make a visit, can I request him that he also visits sections of Athi River where fish is dying as a result of raw sewer from Thika Town flowing into it. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether you heard the Assistant Minister say that he will only be able to visit the area the week after next week. The reason why he wants to do that is because there will be heavy rains. He will not find the raw sewer and he will not be able to tell the real effects of raw sewer flowing into Athi River. So, could he visit the site immediately, if possible, this week or tomorrow morning. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Obviously, the Assistant Minister is very cunning and very sly. He knows very well that majority of hon. Members will attend a Parliamentary workshop on that day. Thika is only 30 minutes drive from here. We are available to accompany you tomorrow morning. It is as simple as that! I think that would be fair. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. To show you how serious the Assistant Minister is not serious, he has said that he is going to take action against the officer who took the Question to the Permanent Secretary, rather than taking action against the Permanent Secretary. So, is the Assistant Minister in order to push the blame to the small fish instead of the big fish? view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had seen you earlier on over this issue. I wish to ask for an extension of time on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee on Cost of Living. I am aware, that last time, you had said that the extension sought then would be the last one. However, this time round, most Members of Parliament had to travel on Parliamentary duties. The Report is basically ready. All I need is an opportunity for the Members to adopt it. Two weeks will be sufficient. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that the Government has no intention of responding to this matter, because there is no justification that it can give to this House. I am seeking your advice and ruling on this matter. Clause 156 reminds us that there is principal legal adviser to the Government, whose one of the duties is to promote, protect and uphold the rule of law and defend the public interests. For that reason, I would wish to ask that when the Prime Minister, or his representative does appear to respond to this matter, he tables a written ... view
