• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want the Prime Minister to address himself to the physical structures. We are not saying that you set up the county assembly. What we are asking is: Where will the county assembly meet if elections are held today? This is connected to the money issue. There are irreducibles that must happen. If you say it will be by them, then what will they do? Even when the colonists handed over to the first elected President, this House was already in existence. The Old Chamber we are sitting in was in existence. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support that Motion for only one reason. These extensions that the Government always seeks to sit at night have brought very negative connotations to this Parliament. In fact, somebody was telling me that this business of extending Sittings to midnight: “ Kwani nyinyi ni wachawi ?’ So I am happy that this time the Government is doing it in the morning. As a matter of practice, even if we have to sit on a Friday, let us do it but let us not do it at night. With those few remarks, I beg to ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am a Member of the Budget Committee and I confirm what the Minister is saying. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister admit that they were doing investigations. Now, since 1994 to date is about 18 years, surely, could the Assistant Minister really tell us whether, before he came to the House, he got a brief from the CID Director and if not, can he cause that to happen? It appears to me that there is no seriousness. In fact, the Assistant Minister, maybe, has not bothered at all to find out what is going on. Surely, the Director of Criminal Investigation must know. It is either that or there are some officials ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for your ruling and I agree with part of it, but even assuming that we are going to proceed on the basis of Article 222; that whether or not the Appropriation Act has been assented to, we can still approve the estimates. My point is only one, which I listened to carefully but I did not see you hammering it. Which estimates are we going to be looking at? This is because this House has already put a report here to seek amendments through the Budget Committee of the Printed Estimates ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is a grave omission; it is so grave that we cannot proceed with this debate as it is. The HANSARD will bear me out. I am standing under Standing Order No.142. When the Minister was moving this Motion he did not; and I remember very well, he failed to signify that the President has given consent to this Motion. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. If you look at this Bill, you will realise that it is critical, for example, for the functioning of the county governments. We debated these matters during the Second Reading. The Minister never took into consideration some of the issues we raised, for example, the 15 per cent ought to be a direct charge on the Consolidated Fund. This was ignored amongst many other things. We feel that this Bill is being rushed and the purpose of it being rushed through the Committee Stage is so that they can hide ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: I would like the Minister to hear everyone. view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: You will want to meet in the Treasury? Hon. Members, let me just say that following that direction, the Minister and the relevant Committees of Finance, Planning and Trade and Budget should – I direct – meet immediately after this and then they can report progress in the afternoon. view
