• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand on a point of order arising from the request by hon. C. Kilonzo to you to make a ruling. This is a serious matter. We want our people to be of good conduct, and we want these services to be available where they can easily access them. This is our problem, when the Government brings here a signed answer, it is supposed to state the official position. Then when you have the supplementary answers contradicting the official position, surely, there must be something amiss. It is not sufficient--- view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Just allow me, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: It is not sufficient for the HANSARD Report to be what the Government is going to rely on. The Assistant Minister has come here to tell the House the true Government position. But when he comes here and changes the true Government position for purposes of the HANSARD record, that cannot be the correct position. I beg, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that you consider the plea of the Back Bench and rule that this Assistant Minister needs to go back and come back with a proper answer. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even this answer is not signed by the substantive Minister. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the state of the disarmament exercise that is currently underway. In seeking that Statement, I expect the Minister to consider the following issues:- 1. The previous efforts to disarm within the country and its varied success 2. What is the level of co-ordination between the neighbouring states, particularly, Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia? 3. What role is the IGAD playing in this exercise? 4. During the disarmament process, what is the state of insecurity, especially the incidences of ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion. However, because it is a Procedural Motion, it does not mean that we cannot raise issues. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: It is important to realise that Standing Order No.38 (1) cannot just be read without looking at the provision that states:- “Provided that, subject to Standing Order No.7 (Summoning the House during a Session after adjournment), on every Wednesday morning on which the House sits, business other than Government business, shall have precedence except---” view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we worked very hard to have the House Business Committee (HBC) formed. We passed its membership last Thursday and it commenced its business. Could the Government Chief Whip confirm to this House why he thinks we should not have any other business except for the important consideration of the Presidential Address? He should explain this. He should not take this for granted. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to confirm that it is un-African to pour milk and that it should be given to the needy, when the Government that he serves has been unable to deliver relief maize to the beneficiaries in drought stricken areas in the last three months of October, November and December? Why did he not take the milk to them? view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt in my mind that this is one effective Assistant Minister. But this Assistant Minister seems to be effective in answering our Questions but not in ensuring that KPLC works. I want to demonstrate that. Turkana Central CDF paid a cheque of Kshs1.7 million to KPLC for Soweto- California Electrification. Up to now, it has not been connected. Could he also assure me the way he has assured the Member for Makueni that next week, this one will be connected? view
