• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the real objective of this amendment is for clarity. If you talk of within 90 days, it could be from day one up to 90, but we are saying “at least.” So, it could be more than 90 days. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 32 of the Bill be deleted and substituted with the following new clause- view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 33 of the Bill be amended- (a) in paragraph (b) by deleting the word “manage” and substituting therefor the word “administer”; and (b) by deleting paragraph (g). Proposal in Part “b” is just to expresses it better. Instead of managing, we are saying that his job should be to administer. We are also saying that he has no business in setting up some frameworks. They should not be managing or mis-managing political parties. That should be outside their province. I beg to move. view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this seems to be a problem that affects most Government departments. You will also recall that as I speak, some officials who took part in the census exercise have not been paid. Why did the threats by invigilators to down their tools make him to use that quick means? What action is the Minister taking to ensure that, in future, invigilators are paid immediately they finish their job? view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We cannot allow the Minister to get away with this one. The mobile phone system was to expedite the payment. The invigilators are people who are already in Public Service. This Government sends salaries every month to those teachers. Why can the Minister not use the same system to deliver the money if the phones are not working? view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to support the need for that Statement to have come like yesterday. The Chair may wish to recall that last December, I requested for a similar Statement after the Minister had made a commitment to the Republic that no person should be detained in hospital. In essence, it meant that no person should die in hospital because of maternity case. This is a very serious issue. This Government is committed to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and it is a requirement that we must realize that particular goal. ... view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we formulated these Standing Orders, and we gave the Prime Minister his time, it was for purpose of pronouncing Government policy, its intention and implementation. In our wisdom, we also allowed the Leader of Government Business to come and give us their weekly programme, including justifying why certain things should be the way they are. I would like to seek the following clarifications from the Deputy Leader of Government Business: In the light of the issues hon.Odhiambo-Mabona has mentioned in terms of constitutional implementation Bills--- One thing is that the Attorney-General of the Republic is ... view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The same Constitution he is referring to, which is protected in the new Constitution, actually states that the task of a Cabinet Minister is to advise and aid the President. That is his job. So, in my view, he is at liberty to advise. view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I want to assist the House. The Constitution recognizes only two institutions; the Attorney- General and CIC in terms of bringing these Bills to this House. So, is it in order for the Deputy Leader of Government Business to persistently mislead this House and Kenyans that we should be working overtime when they are not even working normally and when he is buying time for what he considers consultations that are actually unnecessary? view
