• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the point of order is that we are trying to tribally, as it were, classify the nominees here who are qualified in their rights as Kenyans. That is my point of order. If we are talking about these nominees here--- view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, Sir. Under our Standing Orders, there is no such thing as Government Bill. All Bills are done by this House as Bills of this House either as public Bills or private Bills. The only thing that we need to take cognizance of is the fact, and you have said this yourself, that even chairs of committees are Members of this Parliament. However, if you remember what I said view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I am guided, hon. Speaker, Sir. When we were electing the chairmen of these committees, it was always known that they will be doing specific things. One of that was that they will be in charge of the committees that they will be chairing, including defending, bringing statements and answers to issues that are raised in this House and, above all, articulating the issues that affect the dockets that they hold. Until such a time that we agree that this is the wrong system, they must continue doing so with what I will say ability that used to be before ... view

• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. In fact, hon. Junet Nuh has done us a lot of good service. This is something that has been affecting every Member of Parliament. These people are not actually offering the services they are supposed to. They have become small kings. They are clan kings. We have seen them bring their relatives and even terminating very sensitive agreements. We have seen them do things that a normal person would not do. We need to look at their roles afresh. As somebody just said if you go to the people today and ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I am not challenging what you have just said, but I am on a point of order on this issue of Statements. The reason some Members are chairpersons and some are not is the responsibility that follows. Much as I know you are trying to help the chairs of these committees, there is a responsibility for being a chair. I think we are going to let the chairs off the hook easily the way I am seeing things happening. I do not think this House will ... view

• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to second this Motion. The Motion before us should not be misconstrued to mean that we are discussing the President. The Mover urges the Government to put in place measures to ensure that no further irregular payments are effected, in regard to such schemes, to avoid further lose of public funds. I wish to second. I just need to inform the Members that this is a digital Government, one that claims to work through the internet. The case being referred to by the Mover of this Motion, the case of World Duty Free ... view

• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: That is the case that the Member is referring to and legal judgments that are done by courts are public documents. Let hon. Members Google, get those documents, read and understand them. We are living in times when this country has gone through a lot. During this Session of Parliament, we moved a Motion urging the Government to establish a fertilizer factory in this country. I am sure you have been living around for quite a while and you know the case of Kenren. Kenya paid so much money to construct a fertilizer company that was never to be. We ... view
