• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: It is important for us to keep watch. This is where the heart of the matter is. As hon. Members said, our main business is to approve the monies our constituents are contributing towards the running of this Government. Having said that, I would like to state that one of the things that we envisage, if the Bill is passed, is to compel the Government to pursue a wage policy that is sustainable and is pegged to the size of the economy. I mention this because I know that I debated and voted for that draft Bill. One of the ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution to this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my contribution, I want to ask four different questions. This is not the first time or first Parliament that is carrying out a censure Motion. I would like the House, through the Chair, to think about it and answer me. In Uganda, the hon. Minister for Health, hon. Jim Muhwezi, was censured over mismanagement of the Global Fund on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Question that is in my mind is: Is the Minister being put on ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Okay. Answer me as we go on! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in New South Wales, the Leader of the Opposition moved a censure Motion against the Minister for Health for her incompetence to deal with her portfolio responsibilities, particularly her failure to address problems facing health workers, attempts to stop headlines by setting up task forces and committees, failure to provide appropriate answers for inappropriate treatment of patients, overcrowding in hospitals and in general, her total failure in carrying out her portfolio responsibility. Is the Minister for Finance properly been censured for his total failure to carry out his portfolio ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Davidson, again, in the New South Wales Parliament, used his office to influence approvals of development plans within his jurisdiction. It was a question of total abuse of office to get approvals that were inappropriate and the New South Wales Parliament censured him. Did the Minister use his office and influence to get approvals for dealings that were inappropriate in the minds and hands of Kenyans? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was another Member of Parliament who was also censured. In this particular case, it was near our borders, so I do not want to mention him. But we know that the President of a neighbouring Republic, who happens to be the Chair of the African Union, sacked several Ministers because of something that went wrong in that Government. Is that true or false? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is very serious because it touches on the fundamentals of good behaviour in Government. We were elected by the people of Kenya to come and represent them in this House. We speak for the people of Kenya, and particularly now, I speak for the people of Garsen who are asking: Are these things proper? I want to say that it is beyond personal relations. It is even beyond the question of collective responsibility. It is a matter of the people of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have said that we ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that we need to set up rules that will serve us now, in the next Parliament and those that will follow. We need to say that if this House is the mother of the Cabinet, it needs to set up rules for the discipline of the children it gives birth to. 1600 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 2, 2008 I want to plead with hon. Members that this time when we are going to make new rules in the Standing Orders, we should be very clear on what sanctions we are going to apply to ... view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to make a quick contribution to the Budget Speech. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I start by congratulating the Minister for Finance for fairly good ideas that have been explored in this year's Budget. As I have always said, good ideas can always be made better. However, there is something tremendously important that the Minister totally missed out in this Budget. It is a big disappointment for me personally. This is because in his Speech, having recounted what happened and transpired in this country at the beginning of the year--- I quote ... view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the country was totally divided. People were looking at each other in terms of where they came from, which community they come from and it left some of us in total confusion. For those of us like myself, whose parents come from different communities--- You marry from a different community. Your sister is married in the Rift Valley. Your brother is married in Western Province while you are married in Central Province. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country needs to be serious and put money where its mouth is! There is absolutely nothing in this Budget ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. view
