• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I am ready to respond, I need your guidance in terms of the time. The Mover usually responds at the very end and I can see that there are a few more minutes to go and there are hon. Members who are interested in contributing. I do not want to donate my time. They still have their own time. view
• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can do that. I am saying that there is still time on your side which you can give to them without me donating mine. view
• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temprary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to thank all hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. In agreeing, I would like to say: "Yes, we can". I cannot deny myself this golden chance that my Motion could not have come at a better time, than a time when the great America has a President-elect who has his roots in this great Republic of Kenya. view
• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: The only reason why America can have a President with roots from Kenya is becauss the American Presidential Election System has very clear principles and doctrines of separation of powers. This Motion is trying to ensure that we have a calendar of events that will make sure that the Executive does not monopolise the Legislature. As we celebrate Senator Barrack Obama as President-elect--- We should know that he is only going to be referred to as President-elect until 20th January. Their time table is very clear that 4th November, is a day to carry out the elections. It has a ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Are you satisfied with the response by the good Leader of Government Business that this morning there is traffic jam and, therefore, Ministers cannot come to the House to answer Questions? Where are we from? We are also from this city and we are in this House! This is not happening only today. Even last Wednesday, Ministers were not available. The Chair was concerned that Ministers do not seem to be taking the business of the House seriously, particularly on Wednesday morning. What assurance could the Leader of Government Business to ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am seeking the indulgence of the Chair. The Leader of Government Business, who is a very good lawyer and the Vice-President of the Republic, is fully aware of Section 17(3) of the Constitution. It states that:- "The Cabinet shall be collectively responsible to the National Assembly for all things done by or under the authority of the President or Vice-President or any other Minister in the institution of his office" I am sure he has copies of the answer. Why can he not be responsible to the National Assembly by ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Just before we went to the next Question, there was a Question for the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development. I just wanted to bring to the attention of the Chair that the Assistant Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development has just walked in, in a very majestic manner, which we do appreciate. So, could she confirm whether the traffic jam is too heavy for other Ministers to come? view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the people of North Eastern Province, where Garissa Town is the provincial headquarters, deserve services and this Government has made commitments to that effect. Only last week, the Minister in charge of internal security assured us that the police barrier on River Tana, as you enter Garissa, will be removed. I was there on Saturday and that barrier is still there. Is the Chair satisfied that the Assistant Minister can send personnel and they do not issue passports because they are still working on a strategic plan? Let me put it to the Assistant Minister that ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, 20 days ago, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs on the criteria of issuance of diplomatic passports and, in particular, to hon. Members. The Chair ruled that, that Ministerial Statement would be brought to the House within ten days. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with apologies, this is another case where the Government cannot add up its figures. When will I get my Ministerial Statement? view
