• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be very obedient to your direction. First of all, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. Secondly, I would like to congratulate the Minister who is moving this Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2008 - the National Livestock Policy. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, without repeating myself, I want to fully support what is before us today. But I want to make three quick points and then allow other hon. Members to make their contributions. The first one is this: I am a little disappointed ... view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will raise just one point so that I can allow the hon. Minister behind me to also say 3860 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 3, 2008 something. I support the adoption of this Report. But I do not know whether the Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs, in deciding this criteria, might it have been that one of the candidates was too well known to the Committee, because it seems that the candidate was scoring extraordinarily high compared to the others? When you look at this, it almost seems that you are suggesting a ... view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to request the indulgence of the House. The Vice-President is not here but he requested that we proceed with the answer to the Question. Could we proceed? view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope you do not doubt my abilities! view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have explained before, one of the reasons that have been given to the Ministry for the delay is that there was some unfavourable weather pattern. Also, there was a delay in the appointment of the project sub-contractor. It is true that it was supposed to have ended in September. But because of those reasons, previous to the post-election disturbance, there was a delay. We have to accept that sometimes, these delays occur. What is crucial is that it has now been agreed that the works resume. We have agreed that we will not terminate the ... view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I undertake to give it tomorrow. view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this being a very grave matter, I would request for time, on behalf of the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, who has been delayed, coming from a function from the Coast. We can do it on Tuesday, next week. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am of the opinion that, like Mr. Ruto put it, they have no objection on that side. To me, when reading this whole new section, it brings in the concept immediately without having to wait for a lawyer to interpret for you. It is clear that it is public. This other one will have to wait for an advocate to interpret it for you. So, let us leave the earlier amendment as accepted and then make the same correction with this one with regard to saying it is private enterprise. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we have just set up a new Ministry that deals with places in northern Kenya, which include part of my constituency in Garsen. When I am looking at this Clause, in case we have to put up huge projects, that will mean taking some resources from the rest of the country so that we can practise affirmative action or positive discrimination to let us catch up. If someone goes to court and files a case against the Minister for Finance using this Clause, they will get their orders and this will, definitely, make even the ... view
