• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of yesterday's ruling from the Chair, given that today is a day for Committee of Ways and Means, and having recognised that this business should begin not later than 9.30 a.m., could you allow us to extend this time to allow for more Questions and Ministerial Statements that were deferred yesterday? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think there is a grave matter involved here in terms of honesty. I think both documents should be availed to the Chair to determine who is speaking the truth. A copy of the letter we have here says: "I am pleased to inform you" view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Of course, I cannot do that. He is not my immediate boss to give me such terrible directions. Even if he were my boss, I will not obey such unlawful orders! Is he implying that the letter from Amb. Muthaura, who was retained in 1376 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 25, 2008 office even after attaining the mandatory age of retirement, amounts to shooting down the Ambassadors/High Commissioners? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir--- view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Minister, who is a good friend of mine and an eminent lawyer, to mislead this House? The portfolio has got into his head to the extent that he is engaging this House in semantics. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have to know what the request was. The last paragraph reads: "You are requested to effect this adjustment on the payroll". The Permanent Secretary is not requested to implement the adjustment. So, we cannot continue being misled! view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had actually been called upon to second this Motion. If the Front Bench was kind enough to wait for my submission, we would have eliminated the misunderstanding. They seem not to understand a few things; could I proceed to second the Motion? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think this country appreciates the fact that, we elected you as the Speaker of the Kenya National Assembly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we have seen from the Front Bench, with due respect to people I admire and respect, is what the learned friend; a man I thought I will never contradict in life, the hon. J.A. Orengo, that the most paid lawyer and, of course, being a Minister of the Government now, is the most paid Kenyan and lawyer. He has to do the bidding of his employer. That is what you see here! ... view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not hesitate to withdraw and apologize to the House, if the understanding of hon. Orengo is to demean him. I would not want to do that and I have no such desire because I know he is a man of intellect and a good standing in the society and he has fought for democracy. But, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was raising this matter in relation to the description he had given to hon. Imanyara in terms of "a best paid lawyer". It was in that context. view
