• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Order! It is the Standing Orders that require that a Motion be moved and seconded. So, if you are not seconding, let somebody else second it. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, given the very many hon. Members who want to contribute, I will time a maximum of three minutes per hon. Member. view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am shocked, beyond belief, that a Minister of Government, who has taken an oath under the new Constitution, can stand up in this House and say that filling of positions in the county governments and a circular that purports to fill positions in the county governments is a routine administrative function that does not require the involvement of the Cabinet. Would he agree with me that the circular he is referring to, which he has indicted is a routine circular, undermines the very principle of devolution and that undermining of the Constitution actually amounts ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Minister to continue misleading this House, when we know that by the letter of the law, there will be an election next year in August? Is he in order to tell us what he is doing now will subsist up to August next year and, therefore, expend public finances in an exercise that undermines the very principle of devolution? Would I be in order to request that; given that this Ministerial Statement is contrary to the law, letter and spirit of the Constitution, it ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard the Minister makes references to a task force. It is a matter of common knowledge that, that task force was not set up by him. It clearly shows that there are two wings of Government that are working at cross purposes. Given that the Minister who formed this task force and in whose docket this matter lies, is here in this House now, would I be in order to request that he give his views on this matter, so that we know what the Government is actually doing? We are now being told ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I requested for a Ministerial Statement last week from the then acting Minister for Foreign Affairs regarding the Libyan investments in Kenya, and whether the Government had seized the properties as per the United Nations Security Council directive. That statement was due today, and I do not know whether the then acting Minister for Foreign Affairs has passed on the information to the new Minister on when I can expect this statement, which was due today. view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, like those who have spoken before me, I also want to thank the CIOC for a good job. The men and women who have been recommended to be members of this Committee are men and women of eminent qualifications. They qualify. I am very happy that we have finally accepted the role that Prof. Saitoti mentioned; the people who have suffered and humiliated, those whose characters have been assassinated by the previous regimes; Nyayo House Torture Chamber graduates, who fought so hard under great pain to bring the changes--- In this respect, I am recognizing the ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is appalling that the Assistant Minister should be so casual about the death of a prominent teacher. A death of any Kenyan under circumstances such as he has described clearly indicate that police officers were involved; if they were not involved, they would have moved immediately they heard the screams, taken action and if that suspect was sick, they would have taken him to hospital that night, rather than waiting until the following morning. In these circumstances, could the Assistant Minister inform the House, if the police officers were not involved, were they not aiding ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to evade answering the question? Could he inform the House what he has charged them with? My question was: Why have you not charged them with aiding and abetting murder? Why have you not charged them with murder of this deceased? What have you charged them with? view
