• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to disagree with my good friend, hon. Imanyara, that even if we recruit more staff at the county level, we will not be able to solve this problem. I want to state categorically that the staff that we are going to recruit will not be classifying or censoring the movies. They will be monitoring to ensure that cafes are showing movies that have been classified by the Board. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, of course, there is a law contained in the Statutes Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Act of 2009. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have an Act - the Communications of Kenya (Amendment) Act - that contains all this. Therefore, there is a legal framework for us to operate on. As pertains to the issue that was raised by Dr. Nuh, I want to state that it is not that those films are banned. I am saying that they are classified. There are specific times that classified films are supposed to be shown.

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as the issues that were raised by the Questioner, Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, are concerned, I want to believe that I have answered the Question. However, I see the concerns that hon. Members have expressed with regard to this issue. I believe it is a serious issue.

That ... view

• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: It is important that you make it clear that also Members of Parliament have a responsibility to this House. Once you file a Question, it is important that you avail yourself to come and ask your Questions, because we go through so much trouble to look for these answers. Therefore, the sanctions that you are imposing on Ministers, when they do not avail themselves to answer Questions must also apply to Members of Parliament, who are not here to ask Questions. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. C. Kilonzo is doing his second term in this House. He has not had an opportunity or the priviledge to be an Assistant Minister before. Therefore, he cannot talk about what he does not understand! I know my responsibilities. So, I want him to know that my office is a constitutional office! view

I know it will go a long way in streamlining matters related to immigration and issuance of travel documents to Kenyans and those who are seeking to be Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, ... view
