• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move: - THAT, aware of the need for reforms in all Government institutions including the Cabinet, and in order to enhance good governance, this House urges the Government to facilitate induction and training on financial and resource management to all Ministers, Assistant Minister and other Constitutional office holders. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to move this Motion. The thrust of this Motion is to state and re-state the fact that reforms are required not only in the Judiciary, Parliament and other institutions, but also in the ... view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for that brief Statement. It is very important for this country to be concerned about its international reputation. As things stand today, we have suffered a battered reputation. If I remember correctly, one of the questions I asked is whether the Minister could consider the refusal by the USA President to even pass by Kenya as a snub to this country. I also asked whether that could affect our international reputation. What is the Minister doing to correct that image? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying that the Minister has not answered the questions that I raised within that request for a Ministerial Statement. Again, is the Minister aware that our international reputation has suffered? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is the Minister doing to correct the situation? Has the snub got something to do with the fact that our country’s international image has been battered by allegations of corruption within this Government? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, subsequent to the statement and subsequent to Motion Parliament passed here, a very serious statement emanated from the Head of State of Kenya, which said that Kenya is ready to protect itself by whatever means. The clarification I am seeking from the Minister is whether he is confirming that statement, that, in fact, diplomacy between the two countries has actually failed, and that something else is brewing? Could he confirm or deny it? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Minister for attempting to explain some of the things. However, he has absolutely missed the point. I requested specifically, where is the document of protocol that directs the way the pecking order of the Cabinet is? Mr. Speaker, Sir, where and how do they sit to avoid embarrassing situations? What should the Prime Minister or Vice-President expect? It is not a theory of Constitution. It is practical! Where is that document? If that document is not here, all these explanations are not going to help us. The people who effect protocol ... view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a Point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Attorney- General is completely out of order. I am basing my point of order on Standing Order No.81 which states as follows: “A Member who wishes to speak on any matter which the Member has a personal interest must first declare that interest.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first beneficiary on the schedule of those whose salaries will be increased is the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya. He has not view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Attorney- General is really misleading the House. Is he saying that tribunals are not appointed for constitutional office holders? Is he saying that Members of Parliament are not constitutional office holders? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know why the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs wants to take us around on this one. It is very clear that the Attorney-General is going to personally benefit. The Standing Orders are there so that they can, among other things, guide the interest of the House. If hon. Members knew, for example, that there is a report that has been tabled, and that people are going to get an increase of salary, including the person who is initiating this debate, hon. Members in this House ... view
