• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to confirm that the recommendations of the Committee in this Report were unanimous. It is, therefore, my singular pleasure, honour and dignity on behalf of the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Resettlement of IDPs to move this Report and commit it to the House for debate and adoption, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.181. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I beg to move and ask the gracious lady, the daughter of Kenya from Suba land, which is on the shores of the great lake of Lake Victoria, which is similar to the shores of the great Lake Turkana, to second my Motion. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you and I want to confirm to Madam Minister that I am not one of those politicians. Mine was to make sure it succeeds. I want to thank every hon. Member who has supported and I want to move. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General has given timelines that have accumulated to 20 years. He has confirmed that he cannot get money from the line Ministry. He also confirmed his inability to do so. The Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board has already dismissed some judges on the basis of not giving judgments for a very long time, including four years. We are talking about the Government, but not relationships between Government departments. What will the Government do to compel that particular Permanent Secretary to make payments for this case or compensation? This is an accident. He needs to act ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Attorney-General to mislead the House that they are compiling things when the Leader of Government Business before we went on recess was also compiling questions and statements that have not been answered, and up to now, we are yet to get that response? Especially with the timeline he has given of the end of this Parliament, could he give something that we can hold him to account with like at the end of this month? We want him to come back to this House within ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In addition to the issues raised or as the Chair usually refers to it, “canvassed” by the previous Backbenchers, I want to add a third dimension. One, we have Standing Orders and the Chair must enforce them. Two, the Assistant Minister for Local Government cannot even make a distinction between Rapido Construction Company and a company that has abandoned the works. It means they are not rapid enough. So when the company contradicts its own name in terms of keeping its contract, then he does not need more time but to ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has confirmed and I want to congratulate him for being serious. But Monday and Wednesday, the period he was given by the Town Clerk of 48 hours, can you determine that that period has already lapsed and so the Assistant Minister should be having the answer already? This Assistant Minister cannot even add up figures! view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support the point of order by Dr. Khalwale. Dr. Nuh already refreshed the memory of the Chair that before we went for recess, there was an undertaking by the Chair to make a ruling on this matter. You have even done better because you have said that there is no need because the Standing Orders are very clear. Since the Standing Orders are manifestly clear, then you just need to do what the Standing Orders demand of us. The Standing Orders do not demand Ministers to read Questions ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I ordinarily hate to contradict the hon. Professor, because he is my good friend and a good man. However, is he in order to mislead the Prime Minister by taking him to open a facility that is supposed to be Level 4 and yet, all the facilities that are supposed to be provided by a Level 4 District Hospital are not in the hospital? Why can he not, as the Minister responsible, ensure that those facilities are operational so that when the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya is going, ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for that guidance and the Minister for agreeing with you. The Minister, through his Permanent Secretary, visited the Lodwar District Hospital and upgraded it to Level 4 hospital and up to now, nothing has happened. This is why we are annoyed with these promises. As he renames the Ol Kalou District Hospital as J.M Kariuki Memorial Hospital, we do not want people to play politics with the lives of Kenyans. We want the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya to rename a fully functional hospital. ... view
