• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You are aware that we amended the Standing Orders to create the positions of Leader of Government Business and Deputy Leader of Government Business, so that there is always somebody sitting in the House specifically to take care of situations like these, so that we do not avoid collective responsibility of the Government under the guise that Ministers are out of the country. Is it in order for Ministers simply to stand up and say that because one Minister or an Assistant Minister is away, Questions or the business of ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it right for an Assistant Minister to say that they have applied for money from the Government? What are we talking about here? He has said that he is asking the Government to provide money! Where is he from? Is he not from the same Government? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Once again, it is painful that I should be rising on a point of order to ask where the Ministers are, when they know that the business of the House is being transacted from 9.00 a.m. Is it in order for the Minister to direct you to defer a Question instead of providing a reason why nobody in the Government is prepared to answer the Question? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many organizations and parastatals that employ people in this country. We have the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the armed forces and so on. When they recruit people, they are even given the dates for reporting. Why is it necessary to sent them to the Public Service Commission? When did you send the names? Have they given you any reason why they are not giving those people numbers, or is it an excuse to delay and frustrate the posting of nurses? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to say that he goes into a lot of trouble to search for answers when he is paid specifically to provide answers to this House? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is at great pains to paint that officer in the darkest language possible and making allegations of fraud. I have some experience in court martials and I know how they can be abused. Could he give the particulars of the fraud cases including the case numbers and the amounts involved, so that we can gauge whether the sentence was deserved? Could he give the particulars? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since the new Constitution came into force, all laws that are inconsistent with the Constitution are not valid. If the Persons with Disabilities Act purports to enable discrimination of Kenyans on the basis view

• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs was my year-mate and classmate at the university. I am surprised that even as the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, he has not taken the trouble to visit prisons. He can only talk about his days in the university and going to see inmates. Is it in order for him to trivialise these matters in this way? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Khalwale, you have made your point! view
