• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not referred to the Minister as an angel. I have said that he played to the Gallery and the public now sees hon. Members as devils while the Minister as an angel. It is a matter of language. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me, at the same time, say that the remuneration of hon. Members is clearly set out by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). The procedure under which hon. Members are remunerated is through a process that was started by a team led by Rtd. Justice Majid Cockar, which did the ... view
• 12 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sometime back, I stood before this House and raised the issue of the sitting arrangement and an issue that touched on the Official Opposition. When I did this, the Deputy Speaker ruled that the only person who can sit on the left hand side of the Speaker is Mr. Jirongo, who is the only Opposition Member of KADDU. I realise that, today, the House has marked some seats "reserved for Members". It has been a tradition that the seats are for the hon. Members in the House. So, I am wondering whether ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to come and answer Questions in this House when it is in the public domain that Assistant Ministers have no appointment letters? view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is whether it is in order for the Assistant Ministers to come and answer Questions in the House when it is very clear that they have no June 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1083 appointment letters. I believe that it is an illegality. view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I partly agree with the Leader of Government Business. It is true that when appointments are made, they are gazetted. I have not seen any Kenya Gazette Notice that has the names of the Assistant Ministers. That is the basis of my point of order. view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is all intended to cushion this House from being used to legalise illegalities. It is within the labour laws that whenever one is appointed, he or she should have an appointment letter. So, if this does not happen, then we are trying to tell the other employers outside there, not to give appointment letters. The appointment to the office of an Assistant Minister means extra responsibilities that have been given to them. So, to me, we really need a considered ruling from the Chair. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House that the Ministry is the one that determines who becomes the head of a school when we know very well that teachers have been posted in certain schools, including two in my constituency, that is, Igembe and Kangeta, and yet the sponsors have turned them away? view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am made to understand and believe that in the event that one lives on a piece of land for more than ten years, the ownership of that land reverts to him. This is regardless of whether the person bought the land or it was given to him as a gift. Now, since people have been living on this land since 1910, could the Minister confirm to this House that, in the event that there are such evictions, the Ministry will ensure that this land belongs to the people who have been there for those very ... view

• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has agreed that at times contracts take more time than expected. Our problem with the road that runs across my constituency, from a place called Kiringo North towards the National Park, the contract was given around ten years ago. To date, it has never been completed yet the Minister has confirmed that contracts have been cancelled. Could he confirm to this House and give the assurance that the Ministry will stick to contract guidelines and rules that relate to the period under which a contract is supposed to be completed? This will ensure that ... view
