• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as early as the 30th of March, I requested a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs regarding the advertisement of senior positions in the Public Complaints Commission. On at least three occasions, the Minister promised to give that Statement but it has not been given, and I am just wondering whether the Leader of Government Business could let us know when it will be given. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: What is your point of order? view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Order! Mr. Attorney-General, you may continue. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Order! We overruled him. So, why do you re-visit the issue? view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Petition. This is a proper case for intervention by way of a Petition. Where under the Land Acquisition Act the Government intends to acquire land for any purpose, there are always conditions set for acquisition. Where those conditions are not met or where the terms of acquisition are breached, or where land acquisition is done for purposes other than the public interest then it is proper and just that we revisit. The way of revisiting that is by way of Petition and so I support it. view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am concerned at the number of times that Ministers, when answering questions, refer to other Ministers and then refer hon. Members to follow up with the other Ministries. There is collective responsibility on the part of the Government. Is it in order for one Minister while answering questions and admitting that the issues raised demand an answer, to refer an hon. Member to another Ministry when there is collective responsibility on the part of all Ministers to ensure that questions are answered on behalf of the Government? Ministers do not ... view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Minister, because you appear to be seriously addressing this issue. From your answer, it is like you are anticipating that this would be a thing of the past in a few months after the Kitui Pilot Project. This entails, obviously, legislative intervention in form of amending the law so as to appoint teachers and assistant chiefs to be registrars and, perhaps, assistant registrars. Could you assure this House that when the Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill comes to the House later in the year, these provisions of the amendment for the relevant laws will be there, so that we ... view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Perhaps, the hon. Minister did not get what I was asking. I wanted to know whether those people will be volunteers or they will be required to perform those functions. There is a difference between voluntary work by teachers and assistant chiefs and statutory works that relates to registration and issuance of birth certificates. Are they going to be volunteers and if they will not be volunteers, what will be your legal basis upon which you will be appointing them? That is the question I am asking him. view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is not usually present when the Minister for Roads is answering Questions regarding the cost of doing one kilometer of road. Is he satisfied that Kshs500,000 can construct three kilometre of a road anywhere in this country? view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have spoken, I too want to express my condolences to the families of those two deceased persons. In the case of Wanjiru, you will realize that there is a child that has lost a father, and the wife is being subjected to all manner of pressures. What steps is the Kenya Police taking to preserve the estate and, particularly, the properties of the deceased, given the kind of pressures we are reading about in the Press, with a view to ensuring that, that child develops into adulthood and the wealth of the deceased ... view
