• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: He is confusing expertise required by Government and expertise provided by the specific individuals and the ethnicity factor. Indeed, if you look at the five names here, it can only be a coalition of big tribes. There are none from minority tribes like Turkanas and others. They will not be allowed to exceed the mandatory age of 60 years.. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, could he also confirm the reason why they are being retained is because they have been extremely problematic to this country. If you look at Mr. Kinyua, PS, Ministry of Finance, Prof. Karega Mutahi and the rest, are the ones who have been fighting devolution Bills. Is that the expertise that this Government can convince this House? Mr. Nyoike, PS, Ministry of Energy, we all know the crisis in the energy sector. Is that your definition of expertise of personnel who are coming to distort the economy of this Republic? view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like the Minister to clarify something. He is talking of inheriting 225 projects. Could he inform the House from whom they inherited the stalled projects? view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the Minister is keeping hope alive but the stalled projects inherited in 2003, he is hoping to complete them in 2012. When the Government took over they knew that they would be in office for two terms. Actually the NARC Government came up came up with a Ministry under the late Vice-President that was to complete all the stalled projects. However, that is even a small point. The bigger point now is that there are projects under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) started by this same Government that are in various stages of ... view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would not like to engage my good friend. I really like this hon. Minister because he is one of the few honest ones; but in this particular instance, I think he is suffering from the disease of the Executive. He is part of the ESP. He knows there are projects under his own Ministry and so--- view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had a point of order and he was challenging me, but I do not think he was affected. So, I do not see why my good friend, honourable Imanyara would like me to embarrass those ones who are not honest enough. I want to glorify the good ones like the honourable Minister. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand guided but I thought I would pinpoint that but I did not. So, nobody has suffered any personal injury. The substantive question I am asking is; is it in order for the hon. Minister to mislead this House that just because he inherited certain projects, he is not in a position to inherit more stalled projects? I am reminding him of a case that he is handling of the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) projects which every Member of this House is fully aware of, including the Chair. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, justice delayed is justice denied. In the matter of Kerubo and the Deputy Chief Justice, Nancy Baraza, the police, the CID and the DPP expedited the proceedings and made a statement. What this House is demanding of the Assistant Minister is to tell us exactly when this matter will be brought to a conclusion. The people of Kiharu must be given justice. We want him to give us a time line. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is true that the Chair has a problem with the Minister. But surely Mr. M.H. Ali has no problem with her. It is just that the Minister came late. My other point is that I apologize for coming late. My Question is also up for answering and the Minister is sitting here and ready to answer the Question. May I be allowed to ask my Question? view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Hon. Mungatana, you will have 12 minutes to proceed when this matter is before the House again. view
