• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the extension of time for this Committee. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank His Excellency the Vice-President for that Statement. It is a very serious issue that we are raising from the Floor of this House; that, there is definite need for reforms as they are happening within this House, to happen to the institution of the presidency. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we want to drive home, as a point, is that the institution of the presidency is not a personal institution. This country waited for four weeks without any form of Cabinet meetings. I would like to seek a specific clarification in terms of the Statement that the hon. Vice-President has given. When will we have clear and regular meetings of the Cabinet? view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, we have seen a clear move towards reforms by this Parliament. We have introduced in this Parliament, the issue of live broadcast for the proceedings of this House. This has gone a long way towards, not only increasing the quality of debate, but also the transparency and quantity of the debate that comes here. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: In terms of the reforms that need to happen to the Cabinet, I want to rely on the precedent of what is happening even today, in the State of Florida. We have clear live broadcasts because we are talking about an institution that is dealing with the people of Kenya. We want to know--- view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when will His Excellency the Vice- President and the Cabinet consider to have that institutionalised within the system, so that Kenyans can have a peek of what is happening. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to inform His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs that we need to move forward in terms of reforms. It is already happening in other jurisdictions, where there is live broadcast of Cabinet meetings. This is pointing out to the fact that these are not personalised institutions. This secrecy that even Parliament used to have, hiding things like Committee proceedings, have now been done away with. We have now moved on. Why is the Presidency not getting into the mood of reforms? This is what we are saying! view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister in the Office of the President in charge of State Protocol. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: The matter that involves State Protocol has been in the minds of Kenyans for a long time now. Time has come that a definite statement needs to come from this Parliament, authoritatively. It, first of all, started between His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, and the Right Hon. Prime Minister, upon their appointment, as to who was going to be sitting on which side of His Excellency the President. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this thing proceeded and then we experienced a scuffle on a national holiday at Nyayo Stadium between the security of the Prime Minister and the security of His Excellency the President. Later on, this proceeded to issues like salaries. It then went to another level, where we are talking about issues like carpets and other matters. view
