• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to quote what happened to President Bush in Iraq. All the media people in that house were good people, but there was one who threw shoes at a sitting Head of State. In fact, hon. Members, no person from the media stood up to correct the situation, if you really looked at the clip. It is the security detail that came in to control the situation. It was all because of that one person who was not behaving in accordance with the journalistic standards that the security detail had to be there. Because of ... view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: The media, even right now when our children are at home on holiday, is showing people who are not properly clothed, dancing. If we say we should regulate such content, say, it be brought on air at night, are we saying something bad? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I invite your ruling on this matter because it is of great concern. We need to work together, but this Parliament should not be gagged by the media. We must be given a chance to do our work. view

• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a very sad day for this House that nearly all the Ministers sit in the HBC which we all know. Is the Prime Minister in order to try and disown a decision passed by the Cabinet, HBC and brought here? view

• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution.

First, Clause 2, the Commission that we are going to constitute is supposed to operate December 16, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4139 without any control whatsoever from any other person or authority. The last Commission had the problem of availability of money and quick access to it. The secretary then, Dr. P.L.O Lumumba, did not make secret the fact that the Constitution of ... view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to convince the hon. Member to re-look at this amendment because right now, in the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), for example, the functions of the Registrar of the High Court is to merely register lawyers. Then, we all join the LSK, which sets the standards of practice and whatever. But those are two separate bodies, just like it is already in the Act. By bringing this amendment, it is like bringing the Registrar of the High Court and the LSK together. This is not a good practice! view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Secondly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in the Ministry of Medical Services right now, we are having a problem because the Registrar of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, according to the current Act which we want to amend, is also the Secretary of the Board. So, we have both offices coming together, which is what will happen if we pass this amendment. So, I was going to persuade the hon. Member, in keeping with good international practice, to just withdraw this amendment or leave it, because the Act, as it is, is good for purposes of good legislation and in ... view
