• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is unrelated to the point of order raised by my friend. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sought your guidance on the issue and you have not commented on it. view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Dr. Khalwale had requested this Ministerial Statement and it was indicated that it would be given today. However, he also said that he would be out on official business and requested that the Ministerial Statement be issued when he is back in the country. Is it in order for the Minister for Finance to take advantage of Dr. Khalalwe's absence and give the Ministerial Statement? view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, Mr. Speaker ruled that the word "fellow" was unparliamentary. You have, twice, mentioned the word "fellow." Are you overruling the ruling of the Speaker? view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, on that note, the business of the House stands adjourned until Tuesday, 1st July, 2008, at 2.30 p.m. The House rose at 5.52 p.m. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all know from law that a private company is limited to 50 shareholders, unlike a public company, which has no such limitation. Is the Assistant Minister telling this House that a public company that was established by an Act of Parliament was converted into a private company to safeguard the interests of 50 people rather than those of the people of Mumias whom the original Act of Parliament had intended to serve? If so, could he consider revoking that transformation so that the company can go back to serving farmers' interests rather than private interests? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, obviously, my friend has taken too much time looking at those very old files in the Lands Office and he has lost some of his eyesight! I appreciate that he would not have wanted Mr. Speaker to catch my eye before catching his. Nevertheless, I rise to oppose this Motion. Those of us who are opposing this Motion are not opposing it for the purpose of bringing the operations of the Government to a halt. That is not our intention! Indeed, the principle captured by Section 101 of the Constitution is precisely to enable the Government to ... view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have expected the Minister for Finance to lay the basis as to why he needs 50 per cent of the Vote on Account. Why not one or two months? He failed to address that issue and, in doing so, he was taking this House for granted. We could have rejected this Motion outright but, as I said, it is not our intention to bring the operations of the Government to a halt. Our purpose is to send a message - loud and clear - to the Minister for Finance that he cannot - and he ... view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not done proper investigations. From his preliminary statement, this aircraft was flying at just over 8,000 feet in a mountainous area and yet, the pilot should have been flying over 9,000 feet to have been able to get to Kericho. Could he confirm whether investigations can be deemed to be fair when they are supervised by the same department that is supposed to ensure our airspace is safe? In 2002, this House in reaction to the mass sacking of air flight controllers passed a resolution and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister ... view
