• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I have two clarifications to seek from the Statements that have been given by the Leader of the Majority Party. In his first statement, I want to appreciate the proactive position that he is taking in regard to updating this House on the work that is pending, and which must be done by this Parliament especially the passage of certain laws that have certain constitutional deadlines. An example is the Freedom of the Media Bill. The clarification that I want the Leader of the Majority Party to give is when these Bills will be published. When will ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose the amendment. I want to draw the attention of the Mover of the amendment to the provision of Article 124 of the Constitution which forms the basis on how house rules or Standing Orders will be formed. The formation of Standing Orders emanates from the Constitution. I also want to ask the Mover of the amendment to look at Article 108 of the Constitution which defines a minority party or a minority leader. So, when I look at my interpretation of Article 108, you will find that it is very clear ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you. Let me also reiterate that the Committees should have been formed like yesterday. There is nobody that does not know the enormous task that is ahead of this Parliament. Parliament, being the way it is, has to exercise its oversight role. That role is the responsibility of this Parliament. I would like to say that time has come when we must all wake up to the enormous task ahead of us and rise to the occasion so that whatever is required to be done can be done by the view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. On my own behalf, why I thought it is very necessary is because we are giving these Commissioners a job to serve the Members of Parliament. It is very necessary so that we tell them what our terms of reference are. One of the things that I want to see them do from next week when they assume office--- I am a frequent consumer of the gym services but when you go to our view
• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I seek you indulgence as we wait for the Clerk to provide the reports. Under Standing Order No.33, I stand seeking the adjournment of the House to discuss a matter that is important to this nation. Recognizing that the matter before us today is a matter that we must dispense with, taking into account the provisions of the law, at the same time I want to plead with you to find it necessary to raise the matter that is going on around Parliament. Looking at the occurrence of the day and the ... view
• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you will find it necessary to give us time, at least, after we dispense with Order No. 8, so that we have time as hon. Members who are the leaders of Kenya and the people who are supposed to bring order in this country, because we shall not allow lawlessness, that you find it necessary to give us time to discuss this matter because we also need to inform this country what is really happening. view

• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Thank you. With all due respect to hon. Jamleck Kamau, he is a good friend of mine. For purposes of making sure that proper procedure is followed, this report was made by 28 hon. Members; whom we all respect and Members that we feel should be guiding us because there are no enough reports for every hon. Member to look at. So that we can debate this matter from an informed point of view, I am inviting you to read the provisions of Standing Order No. 199 (4) and (5) for hon. ... view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, there is another clarification I want to seek in view of what my friend, hon. Ng’ong’o has said and in view of the answer that has just been given by the Leader of the Majority Party. I do not wish to contradict our Jubilee Government but this is an era where we must deal with things as they are and we must run away from the past. We used to do all kinds of things in a manner without regard to the rule of law and the Constitution. Having heard what the Leader of the Majority Party ... view
