2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer, but the Council was to start working in 2008. There was a corrigendum to correct that, as indicated by the Assistant Minister. This means that the council’s term was to expire in February, 2012. But, recently, there was another corrigendum correcting the first corrigendum. What informed the decision to have another corrigendum after the first corrigendum of 2008, yet the board still had a year to go? If the Assistant Minister is not aware of this, then he might have to go back and look at ...

2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The reason why I raised this Question was because the council’s term was to expire next year, and there was a corrigendum that the Assistant Minister is trying to deny on the Floor of the House. He claims that if he can get hold of it, then he can look at it and give a comprehensive answer. Would I be in order to request that he goes back, look at it and brings a comprehensive answer? The reason why I raised this issue is because there was another corrigendum that reduced ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just to thank you first for that direction and really truly request that Parliament ensures the facilitation of hon. Members. You have rightly directed so many issues to relevant Departmental Committees, but sometimes we are subjected to difficulties on travelling to various parts of this country to get the information.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has confirmed that no GMO food shall be released to the people unless research has been done and the food has been declared safe. Could he inform this House and the public which GMO food has been declared safe internationally and within the country?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to the Minister’s answer, the Government has declared an area a hardship area, for the residents and the people of Kenya and he wants to hide behind negotiations. This Government only seems to be listening to demonstrations, strikes as it was presented recently during the teachers’ strike. Why should the Minister ignore teachers just to wait for negotiations when in essence, if he gave the teachers hardship allowances, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) would not demonstrate but instead thank the Government for a good job? Why can you not consider them?

1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am surprised by the answer from the Assistant Minister. I was in the House when the Government committed itself, through the Right hon. Prime Minister, and said that students in affected areas would not be sent home because of fees. Our understanding and that of the principals was that the Government had set aside some money that would be taken to those schools so that students continue learning. I am one of those people who thanked the Government for that. Surprisingly today, the Assistant Minister has turned around and is talking about the ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have noted that there is a problem there. It is supposed to be MTRH. Those are the specific words that I have used and that should be the case. I am sorry.
