• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I indicated yesterday, it is high time that the two Ministries take this House and Kenyans very seriously. The answer given by the Ministry is, not only to this House, but to the entire nation. There are people who have supplied goods to our institutions and are awaiting payments. The answer given to us here indicates very clearly that the next step the suppliers will take is to sue the school principals and the Boards of Governor, so that they are surcharged. Is the Ministry ready to take up the responsibility of meeting the costs ... view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me raise the point of order, so that he could answer both simultaneously. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me so that he may be able to capture both matters. I want to thank the Assistant Minister of State for Public Service for the information he has given the House. But I also want to remind him that the delay that we have currently is for the month of July. On the balance of Kshs4.8 billion, the Treasury and the Minister for Education called the media before the end of June and indicated that the money had actually been released on the same day. So, I want him to be clear on that one. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would not mind if the Government appoints hon. Ndeti to be the Minister for Finance. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: However, while I appreciate the direction that you have given, it is important to note that schools are closing tomorrow, before Tuesday. Would I be in order to request that the Minister for Finance gives that assurance that the payments should be done by a specific date? view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to add that the cost of energy in this country is not only scaring away the potential investors, but it has already chased away many investors who have invested in this country. So many factories have closed shop mainly because of the cost of energy. Even Kenyans who have access to electricity still use charcoal for cooking mainly because electricity is too expensive. That, as a result, is threatening very seriously the conservation efforts in this country. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious matter. Last week, we summoned the two Ministers to appear before my Committee only for them to tell us that the Minister for Finance was out of the country. Now that the Assistant Minister has confirmed that the Government has frustrated our schools, would I be in order to ask that the two Ministers and the Assistant Ministers resign for letting down Kenyans? view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid answering the question. He has been asked the specific reasons for a specific person and he is lumping all the reasons for all the applicants. Is he in order not to explain explicitly whether it is a medical or academic reason so that the hon. Member is satisfied and even the applicant also becomes satisfied? view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate your decision to defer the Question, as Members of Parliament, we keep on waiting for our Questions to come to the Floor of the House. What I get in this case is that the re- naming of the facility had not been done previously. This has now been done. Would I be in order to request that the Question be disposed of today? view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, as Members of Parliament, keep on waiting for our Questions to come to the Floor of the House. There are so many Questions that we have filed. The statement then was that the re-naming of the hospital had not been done. Now it has been done. So, since that is the only change that has taken place, would I be in order to request that this Question be disposed of today, so that other Questions can get time? view
