• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I thank the Minister for his diligence in giving a statement immediately after I sought it. With regard to Japan, could he tell us the identity of the High Commissioner? In London is there a claim? Is the commission facing auction over a debt? If they are not facing any eviction proceedings could he clarify that there are no debts attaching to the High Commission in London? view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister indicated that the Cabinet directed his colleague; the Minister for Defence, to establish a detachment. He does not know whether that Minister has acted on that directive. Since the Minister is present in this House, could he be allowed to tell this House whether he has acted on the directive to establish a detachment as the Minister for Foreign Affairs has told us? view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Can we get a timeframe when this detachment will be set up? view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It cannot suffice because the Member who lives in and represents that region says that as we speak, there are foreign troops within his constituency. The Minister is not telling us when they will put a detachment there because this is a security matter. We have information from the Member that Ethiopian troops are in his constituency. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that the Cabinet decision to set up a detachment is acted upon immediately? view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Minister talked about there being no favouritism--- view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is good that the Minister is speaking in English, because when he speaks in mother tongue, Kisii, which I understand, he has the habit of enlarging the Budget line and providing more funds for his constituency. view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Given what he has said, that that will go according to the Budget, can he tell us the basis upon which, when he addressed a meeting in his constituency in his own mother tongue, he said he had favoured it outside the budget allocated? view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the Chair is the Leader of Government Business. You are giving that ruling, probably as the Acting Leader of Government Business--- view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, fortunately we do have the person to whom the Constitution mandates the role of co-ordinating and supervising the affairs of the Government. Since the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister is in the House, is he not the right person to be directed to tell us why there is no Government Business before we can take Private Members business on a day other than the Private Members’ day? view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not correct that the Government has no business. We know that the debate on the Constitution is on the Order Paper. It is, therefore, not right to say the Government has no business. The Government has refused to place the business on the Order Paper. Could the Prime Minister or the Whips tell us why the Government has refused to place this business on the Order Paper so to that we can proceed to enact a new Constitution for the people of Kenya? view
