• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, arising from your ruling, I would like to raise a very much wider and much more fundamental issue; that is the admissibility of evidence that is downloaded from computers. We are moving with technology and I quite agree with the way you have tackled this particular instance. However, it would be necessary for you to give proper guidelines in terms of rules for those of us, for the future of this Parliament and those to come in terms of the rules and procedure on the admissibility of evidence that is downloaded from computers because this is the ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was a very strong argument brought by the Executive arm of the Government that the power to bring Bills to this House has not been affected by the section that talks about suspension of the Constitution. There was a very strong argument which convinced many people that the Minister was right in bringing these Bills to the House. Indeed, Prof. Saitoti, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Affairs said, in fact, they have the Bills ready which have something to do with security and that they were going to invoke that power that ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: They should be surcharged, and these ones are capable of paying; they are not like the other two civil servants who people are saying legal fees should be paid for. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister will recall that on 23rd June 2010, we passed the Price Control of Essential Goods Bill (2009) that was sponsored by Eng. Ephraim Maina. Among the listed goods in that Bill were petrol, kerosene and diesel. As we are aware, the President did not give assent to that Bill. Those opposed to the Bill were saying that if the Government needs to fix the end prices of those goods, they should also fix the prices of the inputs so that the margins are clear. The Assistant Minister has stated here very clearly that ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister did not answer the last part of the Question. In the meantime, as they are upgrading and making all the plans about the refinery, why can they not allow direct imports of refined fuel, so that Kenyans have access and there are no limitations? This will enable the market to regulate itself and we have better prices. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House passed the Biosafety Act, which created a clearing house. The clearing house was supposed to be operated by a board that was supposed to decide the safe GMOs that must be allowed into the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, right now it appears that because of the lack of that board, even an ambassador can direct what can come in. Last week at home, the Gasa elders in Tarasaa complained that in fact, there was a big increase of diabetes and hypertension in the area. Could it be that these GMOs have infiltrated into ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to congratulate the Minister for coming on his own volition to the House to explain this issue that is bothering all of us. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we approach Christmas, what are the standard measures of security in terms of checks, and what should Kenyans expect when they are boarding either matatus or aeroplanes? We need to know these standards, so that we do not get inconvenienced or fail to co-operate with the relevant authorities. This has never come out clearly either from the police or the Minister. We need to know ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The first clarification I sought has not been addressed and I think it is more critical for Kenya because we need to know--- If the Minister cannot do it now, he can give an undertaking. Already, we have heard what the police are doing about the road safety, but what about these kind of things? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want us to debate this Motion and its merit and then make a very informed decision. In my own humble opinion to this House, it is a matter that deals with diplomacy and the duties of ambassadors. We do not need to tackle this matter through emotions. We need to persuade each other whether indeed this Motion is in keeping with what we need to agree on, that this man needs to go or whether indeed he is doing his duty and then we make a reasonable decision. From what I have read ... view
