• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a follow up to my requests. I saw the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Mr. Ojode here. He had undertaken to deliver the Statement today. I do not know what the fate of that is. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he has not given a firm undertaking. He says “if it is ready he will deliver it.” Could we get an affirmative indication because I am prepared to wait for it to be delivered in the afternoon? But let him not says “if”. I want a definite undertaking. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if my memory serves me right, during the Ninth Parliament, the then Government Chief Whip, hon. Norman Nyagah brought here a Motion which I remember debating very clearly and supporting that the position of the Chief Whip be elevated to a Cabinet position. We did urge before this House and the House adopted the Motion that the whips should be named as Ministers in charge of Parliamentary Affairs. Of course, that was never implemented. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: At the time, hon. Midiwo and the Whip were acting as Leaders of Government Business, they were within their right to address from the Dispatch Box. However, when that issue was resolved, obviously, the status changed. They cannot address this House from the Dispatch Box. In fact, they have not been elevated to the Cabinet Minister level as this House had recommended. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, we just have to use this opportunity to tell the Executive that they must obey what we said, but as of now they have not done so; so hon. Midiwo should address ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you look at the Order Paper, there is a star against all the Bills that have been listed thereon, and that star denotes Government Orders of the day. The Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill, Bill No.27 of 2011, is not a Government Bill, so, are the other Bills. The Government is not producing any Bills. The Government has not been working hard to bring any laws to this House. Why are they trying to masquerade as the sponsors of these Bills? The Chair should direct that a Private ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister does not have to insist when he knows that he is wrong. All we are saying is that if the Government has taken over a Bill, that becomes a Government Order of the day. If the Government had not taken over the Bill and is merely donating its time, it does not become a Government Order of the day. We just want a correction and recognition of the fact that the Back Bench is doing its bit, and that the Government is not doing what it is supposed ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to start my brief contribution by thanking the Mover of this amendment Bill, hon. Eugene Wamalwa for sponsoring this Bill to the House. I also thank the Seconder, hon. Odhiambo-Mabona and all the previous speakers who have spoken before me. I fully agree with their sentiments. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to bring a different angle to this Bill in supporting it. This Bill basically wants to put a law in this House and to the country that 25 per cent of all business that belong to Government should ... view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Mututho! I think your issue has to do with when you will get the answer to the Petition. You have already repeated that in the Petition. Let us save time and listen to what the Minister has to say. Mr. Ojode, your Ministry has not been able to respond to the Petition on behalf of Jean-Marie Seroney and Martin Shikuku despite the directions from the Chair. view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Mututho, I am sure Thursday next week is not too far. view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Mututho, let us just go by what the Assistant Minister has proposed. It is only two days after the Tuesday you have suggested. It will be on Thursday. Please, Assistant Minister, acquaint yourself with what is required. view
