• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Order! I have made a ruling but I also want the Assistant Minister--- This is very categorical from the Chair. You cannot have “ifs” here. You either made the statement or you did not! As an Assistant Minister in the Government, you are expected to work with honesty and dignity and particularly, for a bishop if I may add. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Let us accept it but we will check the HANSARD. Then we will seek the appropriate remedy depending on the HANSARD. Let us have the last question! view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Order! view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Order, hon. Members. You will appreciate it is 10 minutes to 5.00 p.m. We are way off the time set aside for Question Time. Next Question. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also wanted to challenge the Deputy Leader of Government Business, who is also my good friend, that only yesterday, Wednesday morning; we had two Motions by Members listed on the Order Paper, which we could not even finish. I do not think we have lacked business from Members on Wednesday morning. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs has mentioned about the Oversight Committee. He wants the Committee not to follow the Constitution. We, as a Committee, had the courtesy of inviting him and he did a good job. I do not know why he does not seem to be happy about his own performance. We agreed with him that the first job, as required by the Constitution, is to set up the Implementation Commission, which we passed in this House within 24 hours. It is up to the Government ... view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While desirous of having this statement and supporting the need by the hon. Karua and this House persistently seeking out for this statement--- I think this House cannot be part of the confusion in the Government side. We want written statements originated by Government from the Ministry, whether read by the Minister himself or by the Assistant Minister. But in a situation where there is a public declaration of a difference between the Minister and his junior, whom do you trust; the junior or senior? view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For this House to accept that kind of explanation, we will not be doing our job. An appointment has been made. Somebody has purported to be performing duties. Contradictory statements are being made. How long does it take the hon. Deputy Leader of Government Business to prepare a statement? You are contradicting the Assistant Minister who said the statement is ready. In fact, he was more than ready to read it off head. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you recall, last week, Mr. Lekuton requested the Minister for Water and Irrigation to issue a Ministerial Statement in connection with the damming of River Omo which is affecting the water flow to Lake Turkana with an ecosystem affecting livelihoods of about one million inhabitants across the eastern and the western side of the lake. The Minister assured this House that she will issue the Ministerial Statement on Tuesday but on further reflection, she requested for Thursday which is today. view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I also asked the Leader of Government Business what assurances he could give this House to ensure that the promises given by Ministers in terms of the days they agree to issue Ministerial Statement are honored. He confirmed that he was going to do it in writing. Today is on Thursday and the Minister has gone missing. view
