• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had indicated to the Chair that I wish to remind the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government that they promised me a Statement on the eviction notice given to the squatters of Kipsongo slums in Kitale which was due on Thursday last week. I did not raise it on Tuesday because I was hoping they would bring it today, but now it is a week since then. Could you give further directions? view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate the offer by the Leader of Government Business to communicate further, I thought it is his responsibility to ensure that Ministers respond by the time they have agreed. So what assurance can he give to the House that this time round the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government will not again conveniently forget to respond in due course? view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just want to seek a clarification. Between hon. Namwamba and hon. Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, who represents the Committee amendments because both of them are members of both Committees. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, I rise to contribute to the amendment by bringing a further amendment. On 7 (1) (c) where the hon. Namwamba introduced a figure of 10 years, I would like to reduce that figure to five years. I want to convince the House why I am considering the experience of five years. This country needs to make a commitment to the youth of this country. At least five years should be reasonable for purposes of our youth. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, first, I want to confirm the status of my previous amendment. This amendment, while it may be concentrating on public administration, human rights and governance, the Chair needs to guide us. It has nothing to do with the period which we have already determined. So, that must be made clear. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, secondly, if the Constitution provides for public administration, human rights and governance, then the enabling legislation actually goes ahead to specify--- I know in law you can also do human rights. While I have no serious objections, especially from my good friend, ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just wanted to agree with the amendment; that in the spirit of getting this process completed in good time then three months is a better proposal than six months. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support the amendment by hon. Gumbo. Although there are general provisions, it is still good to have this amendment, especially for this particular item, because the Commission has a purpose. So, we must inform this House of the regulations from the very beginning, so that we will all know what will be needed. view
