• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to rely on Standing Order No.43 which allows me to lay down the foundation of facts before I ask a question. The fact of the matter is that the police cancelled a rally when in fact they had not informed the members that had wished to have that rally take place. Secondly, the Constitution of Kenya has made it very clear that freedom of association is one of the fundamental individual rights that is inviolable under the new Constitution. I know my other friends will talk about the others but I wanted the hon. ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was there on 19th of August, 2006, when the President and the Assistant Minister for Water and Irrigation at that time, Mr. Raphael Wanjala said in a public rally that they will pump in Kshs170 million to revive the Bura Irrigation Scheme. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same remarks were repeated in Irimani Secondary School when the President held a leaders meeting. I want to know from the Assistant Minister whether, indeed, that money was released by the Government. Does it make any sense right now for two acres, which yield 60 bags to be ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first time this Motion was moved in this House, it had difficulties because people were trying to do things in a manner that is not correct. This is the second time people are trying to do things in a manner that breaches the Standing Orders of this House. Standing Order No.38 is very clear. It states that on a day such as this one, we discuss Government business. It is only on a Wednesday morning that a Private Member’s Motion can be properly before this House. I request that you look at this Motion again ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to demand for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on a widely circulated statement which is in the public domain by Amb. Francis Muthaura who is the Permanent Secretary, Secretary to the Cabinet and the Head of the Public Service. In the statement, I wish him to clarify to this House who authorised the use of the Coat of Arms on a personal statement. Who paid for the advertisement that was greatly ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is true that those who have been named have given various statements. However, that is not the issue. I am concerned with a public servant who used our money to circulate a personal statement. He circulated a statement paid for by taxpayers’ money to defend himself. It is not the Government that was put on trial. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that information that the Minister requires can be found within a day. He can give this House the information we require in the course of the day. He is aware that, probably, there will be a Motion of Adjournment. Why could he not come this afternoon and explain to the Republic of Kenya what is going on? view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to the extent that the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Kenya has been put in the personal statement, I can justifiably claim public funds were used. I need no further clarification beyond that. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been in this House for a while now and I take your ruling and direction very seriously. However, if you listened to the Statement I requested, you will find that I said that there was utilization of the Coat of Arms. I demanded from the Minister to find out who paid for those advertisements and whether view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that possibly--- view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said in my earlier statement that these are the things I wanted the Minister to clarify. If I asserted something to the effect that he has already paid – I do not know and that is why I asked for a Statement – I would like to withdraw that bit. I am an hon. Member and Mr. Ojode and the Minister know this. I just want that information because the public is concerned. view
