• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity, first of all, to congratulate Mr. Ogindo, who is a fellow Member of the Committee on Budget. He has been very consistent in bringing up issues that affect public finance. So, first of all, I want to thank him because he has managed to bring this Motion to the Floor of the House. I also want to congratulate the person who seconded him for the good work and words; and all the hon. Members who have supported this Motion. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I have just three quick points that I want to make on this Motion. First of all, I want to repeat what has been said by fellow speakers who have spoken before me. This is a new era in the Constitution. The country now is operating from a completely different era that was brought about by the passage of the new Constitution. I want to specifically quote Chapter 12 on public finance which states in Article 201that one of the guiding principles in the management of public finance is: “There shall be openness and accountability, including public participation, in financial ... view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the constitutional principle of openness, therefore, beckons the Minister to comply with this Motion as soon as possible. In fact, it should not be a matter of this House to debate and prompt him to comply. If the Treasury is listening and it is present here – it is not here; the Assistant Minister is not here--- But if I were them, I would concede to this Motion even before the resolution is made and provide the necessary information on Public Debt so that Kenyans can see that there is transparency in the Treasury. That ... view

• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, just as we said during the Second Reading, this is basically to create terminologies that will distinctly clear issues of separation of power. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to move. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I withdraw that amendment to the clause but I wish to say that I concede on the bits that the Minister has addressed. So, I will not insist on replacing the president. However, there is Clause 5D(2) that is specific on the report. I am sure the Minister has seen that. We wanted the report under the hand of the Chief Justice to be send to each one of the two Clerks of the two Houses of Parliament to be placed before them for debate and adoption. As I said during the Second Reading, we ... view
