• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Ojode to continue misleading this House by talking as if he is a Member of the Government when he is not and, more importantly, to assume that the problems of KANU are not ODM problems? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: No, those are not enough. I agree with you. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank hon. Karaba for giving me this opportunity. It is my view that the interest of this Motion is right, but what it is intending to do will not solve that problem. As a House, we passed the Sessional Paper on Education after a national consensus on what we need to do. It was agreed, even before the matter was brought before this House, that the 8-4-4 education system is good only that it was implemented in a haphazard manner. The workload for pupils, it was said, was too much. The ... view
• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Muturi to keep on referring to another hon. Member of this House without bringing a substantive Motion about him? We are discussing the PAC. view
• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity. I want to encourage the House to adopt the Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Government of Kenya Accounts for the year 1998/99. I had the privilege of serving in the Committee when it came up with the Report. We had a very good Committee chaired by the very able, hon. Omingo. Of all the accusations and negative things which have been said about the Committee, I can say for sure that I never saw anything to do with impropriety on the part of the PAC, ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I do not seem to understand the Minister as you have actually expressed yourself. The Minister is talking of a prima facie case while we are still on Clause 4. I thought that issue came in Clause 2. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was one of the stakeholders in this particular Bill. I do not think the Committee really reflects what we agreed on, especially on Clause 8(4). I, therefore, wish to propose an amendment. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we actually discussed this at length. I was extremely excited that the Committee invited us to the discussion. This amendment really underpins the host community versus the refugees relationship. We felt that we needed a structured position in which, not just the committee may co-opt, but actually become part of the membership of that committee, in the sense that, that was to be reworded to reflect as follows: A representative from the host community and another one from the civil society. That was the proper wording. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, even during the Committee Stage of the Western University Bill, the written amendment was actually about "Kakamega University". But we made an amendment on that basis to rename it "Muliro University." Why can we not do the same? view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also wish to support the amendment by Ms. Ndung'u. There is a procedure by which, as a country, we ratify international obligations. So, we cannot just be specific to a few laws only. view
