• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Minister, maybe, you will want to listen to Dr. Eseli and then you take them together. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Minister. I want to draw the attention of the House to Chapter 15 of the Constitution, which deals with Commissions and Independent Offices. In particular, I want to draw the attention of the House to Article 250, which deals with the composition, appointment and terms of office of commissions. One of the things that need to be understood is that all the commissions under Article 250 will go through the due process of approval by this House and will follow the requisite national legislation. If it so happens that APSEA nominates someone who does not fit the Bill, ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Let us proceed. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Memorandum from His Excellency the President on the Salaries Remuneration Commission Bill and approved the same without amendments. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you very much. I will reply very briefly. First, I want to thank the House for supporting this Bill. In fact, I want to thank, in particular, hon. (Dr.) Nuh, hon. (Dr.) Khalwale, hon. Njuguna, hon. C. Onyancha, hon. Midiwo, hon. Kimunya, hon. (Eng.) Gumbo and hon. M. Kilonzo, for their very innovative ideas. Like I said, this Bill has the input of many hon. Members. Like I have said before, we need to enrich it even further. Some of the ideas which have come through, I truly think, will go ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will, therefore, at the Committee stage, be accepting some of the proposed amendments to some of the clauses. I will also be moving amendments to accommodate the views of all the hon. Members who have sought to enrich this Bill. So, I want to undertake to burn the midnight oil to ensure that the necessary proposals are incorporated. These will also include proposals from hon. Members who were not able to debate for various reasons but who have, maybe, written proposals to the office of the Member for Garsen. At the Committee stage, we ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to close by saying that the most pressing and very important public appointment that we have been thinking about is that of the Office of the Attorney-General. But unknown to us, and which was brought to my attention today by some hon. Members, the Constitution requires the Controller of Budget to be appointed. He is the person who will be assigning or approving the release of funds for purposes of various Government departments to execute their mandates. If we do not have that officer in place through this process by 27th August, 2011, ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Eng. Gumbo for the way and manner in which he has ably moved this Report. I also agree with him that we need to adapt the recommendations of the Broadcasting Committee. I want to thank the Chairman for dealing with this matter in a very quick manner and bringing the Report to this House timeously to enable us consider the issue that was at hand, which was the interference of the parliamentary proceedings on that day. It might appear to be a very minor issue. Perhaps, members of the public are ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe this is an opportune time for us to ask certain questions about the whole area of broadcasting in Kenya. The distribution of signals across the country is a very serious matter. As I stand here today, I am reliably informed that there was a major tender that was given by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK); it was to do with distribution of signals across the entire country. Our own big media houses like Citizen and the Nation Media Group (NMG) participated in trying to secure that tender; this would ensure that signals are ... view
