• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Order, hon. Members! Since the answers to the supplementary questions are inviting more questions than solutions, I would order that this Question be deferred. Mr. Ndambuki, you have heard hon. Members. We do not really need to wait and run out of stocks and yet, food prices are going up; then we wait for a Committee of Parliament on the cost of living! We do not need to go through that route because the Government has the power and capacity to handle these issues. So, I defer this Question to Tuesday so that you can come with proper answers. You ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House that the training facilities in MTCs are overstretched, when I know for a fact that, Lodwar MTC is performing under capacity because some of the course like public health and nursing were withdrawn two years ago? My question was: What is he doing to reinstate those courses with a stated objective of promoting and recruiting local people to those nursing courses?

• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The reason why we file Questions in this House is to give the Minister the opportunity to “find out”. So, it cannot be that part of the answer is to go and “find out”. That is not additional information. This is a matter of how long it takes. He has acknowledged that there is a shortage of nurses.

• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Order, hon. Members! Hon. Ministers, it is not enough to say: “It is sawa ”. This House must be treated properly and responsibly by the Executive. While I may not agree entirely with all the sentiments of Dr. Khalwale on the new Attorney-General, my problem is to do with the leadership of the Government on the Front Bench that should ensure that Ministers are available to answer Questions in Parliament. Therefore, I direct that the Attorney-General needs to bring an appropriate apology to this House before he transacts any other business! view
