• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for his diligence on matters of the House, I notice that in the written answer, under the column of assets disposed, he talks about vehicle registration number KTU 555 and a hotel in Lodwar Township. Could he tell the House how much was realized from this disposal, and how the disposal was done, particularly bearing in mind the requirements of the procurement law? view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You will recall that during our last session, we kept raising the issue of Constitution implementation and the Government’s inability or failure to bring Bills that were supposed to be brought on time in order for us to meet the deadline set in the Constitution. We are, again, moving towards recess time, and you will have noticed that amongst all the Bills that are coming, conspicuously absent are Bills relating to Constitution implementation. I want the Leader of Government Business to tell this House how many Bills he expects to bring to ... view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the importance of committees is specifically recognized by the Constitution in Article 124, which clearly states that: “Each House of Parliament may establish committees and shall make Standing Orders for the orderly conduct of its proceedings.” I wish to request the Leader of Government Business to tell this House why there is discrimination in the application of the Standing Orders in relation to the replacement of chairs of committees. I am a member of the Committee on Implementation. When it was set up, Hon. Jamleck Kamau was the chair. He resigned. Following the Standing Orders, we informed ... view

• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the Leader of Government Business that, in fact, yes, Mr. Speaker has been moving in this direction and the Committee on Rules and Procedure has been meeting. It has actually drafted more than one copy of the new Standing Orders and it is actually in the process of beating the deadlines that we have set for ourselves to introduce the new Standing Orders before this House. The Leader of Government Business ought to know that because he is part of this House and he is represented in that Committee. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister in charge of Public Health and Sanitation. As I speak to you now, between 60,000 and 100,000 Kenyan children from certain parts of Eastern Province, Coast and almost the entire region of northern Kenya stand the grave risk of being affected by bad maize that has been given to them by a company known as Proctor and Allan. This is a product known as Unimix. This is, therefore, exposing these children to aflatoxin. I would like the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation to address this issue ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given the dictates of the new Constitution requiring public participation in the process of making decisions that affect the public, could the Assistant Minister tell us the leaders who are supposed to meet? In his answer, he talked about leaders meeting and making recommendations. Could he tell us who the leaders are and how they are selected? view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for trying his best to answer this Question, could he inform the House the number that he is seeking to recruit, the money set aside for this recruitment and whether he has any system, or capacity, to prosecute the offenders that he is referring to? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, clearly, even if the Assistant Minister was to employ another 1,000 staff, it will not solve this problem because the flaw lies in the classification. The question relates to the classification of films that are shown, including in video cafes, to protect children. The Kenya Film Classification Board comprises of less than ten members. It is the one that is not doing its work. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what criteria the Board uses to classify those films, so that we do not see those films showing in public channels, roadside cafes and street corners? ... view
