• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why we need to support this Motion is that it is a first step towards completion of the formation of that Tribunal. There is one man who has not been very good to this House – the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya. Even if the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs goes through these names, without a Secretary to this Tribunal, still the Tribunal will not be complete. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: So, today, I stand on the Floor of this House to challenge the Attorney-General to exercise his powers under the Political Parties Act, now that the Chief Justice has done the right thing; it is for him to appoint the Secretary to the Tribunal, so that we can start handling the issues that are bedeviling our political parties. Therefore, I ask the Attorney-General to do the right thing: Stop flying all over the world, and not do what he is supposed to be doing. He should come down from the sky and do what he is supposed to do. He ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just a quick one. Could the Assistant Minister clarify whether this Government will respect and protect the media when it is carrying out its duty and, especially, when the reporters are quoting their sources? He should confirm today that the Government will protect the journalists as they expose the issues that are affecting the Government. To date, the Government has refused to release Members of Parliament who want to serve in the Opposition and, therefore, the media is really the one that is bringing out issues that are affecting this country. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not challenging your ruling but definitely, there is an issue. This is because you were here when that letter was tabled regarding the utilization of the Office of the Prime Minister to collect Kshs50,000 from ODM Members of Parliament. The hon. Member wanted to know whether that was ethical, because we have a clear prohibition of utilization of the office of any Minister, Prime Minister or--- view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a Minister in this Government and he is supposed to be seconding what the Government has agreed upon. But he is now already criticizing it. Is he part of the Government or against the Government? There is confusion here. What is going on? view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Even if you are to give leeway, this is not acceptable. He is either seconding the Government Bill or he is opposing it. He cannot eat his cake it. Is he really in order? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- if, following the directive by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that Ministers and top Government officials use one official car with an engine capacity of not more than 1800cc:- (a) if he could state the rate of compliance with the directive and confirm how much savings are expected from the initiative; (b) if he could table the list of the Ministers, top government and parastatal officials who have complied and those who have not and state whether escort cars will also be affected; and (c) when H.E the ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for his very good answer. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On 5th September, 2005, after the swearing in ceremony of State Minister Rosemary Museminali of Rwanda, the President of Rwanda announced to the Republic that almost a thousand Government vehicles are parked at Amahoro Stadium ready for public auction. She announced that the reason was to save Government money. What I am asking the Minister is why in this country it takes such a long time to take action that is obviously supportive of public initiative, especially at this time when we all have to do what is called austerity measures? Why is it taking so long? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year, in 2008, Rwanda registered an 11 per cent growth in its economic growth. It is not by chance that that happened. Today, in Rwanda, there is no government Minister who owns a government vehicle or house. It is also true that the President of Rwanda drives a convoy of only two vehicles. While these view
