• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on page 10, under Rule 25, again, I propose that the provision that refers to the districts should read, "District/Constituency branches". So, Rule 25 will read:- "...which district/constituency branches (if any) and other organs of the party are authorised to submit or file election proposals for election to Parliament or any local authority where there are no other relevant legal provisions." July 31, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2297 In moving those amendments, I am alive to the fact that the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) has given deep thought to these rules and so did the ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am holding brief for the Leader of Government Business. We want to request that more time be given to this Question. May be in the second round, the Minister for Transport would have arrived. Thank you. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to bring to your attention an anomaly in this Motion, which renders it undebatable in its current format. This Motion seeks to amend Section 45 of the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Motion, as it appears on the Order Paper, seeks to amend Section 45 of the Constitution, which does not exist. Therefore, this Motion cannot be debated. Section 45 was deleted by the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Act No.3 of 1999. Therefore, this Motion, in its current form, cannot be before this House. It is not properly before this House, and it must be withdrawn. Thank you. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to debate this Motion. I am for all women in this country. I am with the spirit of this Motion. We must create the regional balance that is required. That issue is crucial when it comes to the appointment to the Parliamentary Service Commission. I wish Ms. Abdallah had stopped at that point. That is because, then, we would have no problem in passing this Motion. But the wording of this Motion puts me in a position of saying that I will not support this Motion. I want ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the history of setting up the Parliamentary Service Commission is a long one! Members of this House had to queue to get their salaries. Members of this House were living like paupers. There were no proper terms of conditions. There was nothing. Nothing was being taken care of because all those powers were with the Executive. People other than Members of Parliament were running the affairs of Members of Parliament. What happened was that Members of Parliament had no freedom. One would be called and told to do something or something would happen. There was ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I accept the issues of gender parity and regional balance. I agree with the Mover on these issues. When she brings this Motion in a proper format, we will pass it. But touching the independence of Parliament is a sacred thing. The Mover is treading on extremely dangerous ground! She can be cursed by the fore-fathers of this country. It is terrible! With those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to voice my opinion and my contribution to this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I start by congratulating the Minister. I agree with the previous speakers that he has done a fantastic job as far as the work of providing electricity in the country is concerned, and he has been consistent. We congratulate hon. Murungi! But today, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, speaking on behalf of the people of Garsen and Tana Delta, if it was during the Bible times, they would be saying: ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kenyatta National Hospital dispenses both branded and generic drugs, subject to prior efficacy testing and registration by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. (b) The medical and scientific facts that justify the procurement of generic drugs in the hospital are the quality, the efficacy and the safety of those drugs, subject to the testing and registration processes of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. (c) The measures that the hospital has put in place to ensure the drugs meet international standards include the following:- (i) Testing and registration by the Pharmacy and Poisons ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt that Dr. Eseli knows what he is talking about. Any information that he would wish to volunteer to me, I will definitely take it very seriously. I am giving my assurance to him and to the House, that we shall visit the hospital to make sure that, in fact, the drugs that are there, are efficacious. From the information that I have, the drugs that are administered at the hospital have been approved by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. We are assured that they are working. Obviously, if this information is not correct, ... view
