• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: a company I know has been struggling over the past and I really doubt whether they have the capacity to execute that project. But I will give my guarded support. This is because the importance of that pipeline cannot be over-emphasized in terms of accidents that can be avoided, if we have it in place. It will reduce the cost of petroleum products. However, there is a part of the Report which I beg to emphasise. That is the idea that the Office of the A-G needs to be involved from the beginning to the end when we are doing ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: think that the recommendations of this Report were floated in terms of documentation in a manner that enables Zakhem Construction Limited get more than what the bid price is - we have somebody who is a State officer to fall for under Article 95(5) of the Constitution. Lastly, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am really concerned at the manner we run our State parastatals in this country. This is the enterprise wing - the business wing – of the Government. My idea of the management or the operations of State parastatals is that this is one sector of Government that the ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to speak to the others because the matters that I wanted to speak to have been spoken to. However, the important thing in terms of law is that where we have the beneficiary already specified, there is no longer need to define the term “Designated State Officers” because you have mentioned them by name. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I sought a statement from the Leader of the Majority Party about ten months ago concerning appointment of Judges of the High Court. I have been waiting for communication from the Leader of the Majority Party to date despite the promise he gave that it would take two weeks for that response to come. Can I request to know when that information will come to be in the House? view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It is a long time now if you remember, hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It was addressed to the Leader of the Majority Party as our link to the Attorney-General. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I understand you, hon. Speaker. My concern is the length of time it takes when we bring matters to the House and promises are given and then you sit back. I take your advice now but it was not the direction the hon. Chairperson gave then. The direction then was that Hon. Duale was responding within two weeks. Whether he was getting that response from the Attoreny-General or wherever, that was to be his business that time. I am bothered it takes too long for us to get these responses. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I stand directed save that it should be clear to hon. Members that, that is the only procedure to go by as of now because this is a matter affecting so many statements sought by Members. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It may not be that clear, hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have asked Questions also. In fact, I was the first Member to ask a Cabinet Secretary a Question when the system came. However, this one was directed differently. May I seek your directions on a matter tied to it? This is was a Question directed at the presidency. That is why I sought it from the Leader of the Majority Party. How do we approach a matter such as that? Is it still the Attoreny-General? view
