• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Order! view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are making a mockery of the practice of democracy and governance. What authority in law do we have of saying that a Minister has stepped aside? I only know of stepping aside when it comes to a corporate organization where you are a shareholder. Could the Prime Minister kindly explain that? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join the other speakers in saying that the two members of the Government and the Cabinet did the right thing. But they should have done that much earlier than they did. But, nonetheless, we are here to reform the Government and Parliament. We have always campaigned on the platform of zero tolerance to corruption. If we were really for zero tolerance to corruption, we would not be the 154th most corrupt country in this world. We know that the amount of money that has been lost through corruption runs into billions and, over the years, ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Under those circumstances, the other two officers, one who is supposed to be an ambassador somewhere--- Muchiri in Libya and Allan Mburu who have been mentioned in this Report need to do the needful as a matter of urgency. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is only in this country where you tell a politician to step aside. Stepping aside in the rest of the developed world or rather developing world where there is dignity and integrity does not exist; you resign or you are sacked. If you are found to be innocent, the same appointing authorities have still got the powers and the authority to appoint you to a position where they feel you can serve the country in a manner that is going to be beneficial to the country. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Mr. Otieno is not happy with the Report, he should reject it. He should support an amendment. The amendment essentially seeks to urge us to go ahead and adopt this Report but with certain deletions. So, if you are not happy with the Report the way it is, you should oppose it so that it is defeated. But you do not go there and say that because the Report is bad, I am going to support an amendment. Is the hon. Minister in order? view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Much obliged! I am on the Floor. Can you protect me from Mr. Otieno! view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it looks like Mr. Otieno has had a lot of excitement and he has not understood the rules of the House. The amendment which has been moved by Dr. Eseli essentially - in a layman’s language - proposes to delete the name of the Minister and leaves the rest, including the Permanent Secretary and the rest of them, to face it. Now that you are supporting it, you have to say why you think the Minister’s name should be deleted and the rest should be left. But you should not go into the content--- view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the amendment. We have come out of a very powerful dispensation in this country; not only are the citizens of this country watching us, but the whole world is watching us. The biggest problem we have in this country is corruption itself. What we know is that corruption is at the top. When I say “at the top”, it is with the big people – the Cabinet and above. It is only going to be fair that this matter is dealt with in the manner it is supposed to be dealt with. The ... view
