• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: On the day before yesterday, this matter moved much closer to this House, because it came to the attention of some of us in this House that the Prime Minister was denied the use of the gate that is normally reserved for His Excellency the President when he makes a visit to this House. view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter that comes to mind is: Where is the Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs and his protocol supposed to be? Where is the President’s protocol supposed to be? Where is the Prime Minister’s protocol supposed to be? view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I refer to your ruling. The hon. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance knows very well that a Supplementary Appropriation Bill is the only tool under which the Treasury and the Government will be given permission to spend money. As we are talking now, there is a view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am only saying that if we leave it open without your direction that these Orders must appear on the Order Paper on Tuesday, next week--- I did not hear you direct that Orders No.8, 9 and 10 be on the Order Paper on Tuesday, next week. This is a serious matter. The economy will suffer! view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Prime Minister on that directive that he has given. I would like to hear a further clarification from him following the directive. We know that the Ministry of Finance, to a certain extent, exercises some Executive powers, unlike other Ministries.

What I want to know from the Prime Minister is whether we are creating a situation of potential conflict between an Executive directive from the Ministry of Finance and the Office of the Prime Minister? If so, what will happen, because we ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With a lot of respect to the hon. Prime Minister, there are loud consultations from that corner of the Government. If we could just be given time to listen. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance on the state of the economy and the effects of the global recession. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: I would like the Minister to tell us how many jobs have been lost by Kenyans since the beginning of this year. Secondly, what is the unemployment rate as I speak view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, people are losing jobs. Companies are closing down. You cannot ask Kenyans to be more patient than they are. The Government is becoming completely insensitive. We need the Minister to sit down with these bureaucrats and bring to this House the economic stimulus package that we require. We cannot wait for the Budget. People are losing jobs. Something must be done. The country is now feeling the direct effects of the global economic recession. They cannot wait. I saw this being done in Tanzania. Other international countries are doing it. Why can Kenya not do it? ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to follow up on what Messrs. Nyamweya and Kenneth have said, I would imagine that after the Right hon. Prime Minister has given his Statement, we would be given an opportunity to, at least, seek clarifications. This is because he is making serious Statements on behalf of the Government. As hon.
