• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Members, you will remember this Statement arose from a Question which had been answered except for the element of bribery allegations which the Minister was responding to specifically. So, the Chair will not entertain more interrogations in terms of performance of the ESPs. While the Chair appreciates the importance of those particular questions, really, they are not for now.

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I thought you had another one which needed to be disposed of? What is it? view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order, Eng. Gumbo! The Chair was just going to pronounce itself and you demanded to be heard. Both cannot be done simultaneously! Hon. Members, this is a fairly straightforward matter. The position of the Chair is that the Member brought the documents and the Chair admitted them on the basis we admit documents; that they were signed. The Minister has responded to the allegations and demonstrated that those documents were a forgery. This is a word between one Member of the House and another. I appreciate it raised those kind of issues whether the Member acted in good faith or ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On the same or a different matter? The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government will have the last word on the last clarification. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order, Member for Juja! You are reading the Statement by the Chair selectively. The issue was one Member who brought certain allegations. The other Member who happens to be a Minister has now brought the proper documentation. We are all hon. Members and I want to appreciate that we look at both issues and make the proper ruling. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Namwamba! You are even challenging the Chair’s capacity. You are quoting the same Standing Orders that the Chair had already invoked. Addressing an issue does not mean that it must be on demand. I have said that the Chair must uphold the Standing Orders. The Chair must ensure that both sides are properly heard. When you look at the issue of persistently making allegations, the Member has been absent and cannot even make one allegation. Therefore, he cannot be persistently making the allegations. So let the Chair interrogate the issues you have sought and make a considered ruling. ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order, hon. Ruto! You must learn to listen to the Chair. I disallowed yours! The Minister actually sought from the Chair whether or not to respond and the Chair said that we must remain relevant. The question had been answered and the issue of allegations was the one that was outstanding and that ruling will be made. It shall be so. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Minister, proceed with the second Statement! view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Order, hon. Gumbo. Seek a clarification and do not cite examples here. You have asked about capacity at City Hall and that is enough. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Okay, hon. Members, you will appreciate that we are really behind schedule, and we have two statements. One is from the hon. Minister for Education; before I invite him, there is a letter tabled by hon. Gitari, which is about House committee membership. He has signed his own letter asking the Speaker how long a Member is supposed to take before being nominated to the House committees. He has also attached a letter that is supposed to be coming from the Acting Government Chief Whip. But the one from the Acting Government Chief Whip is not signed. So, I will ... view
