• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I speak, first and foremost, on behalf of the people of Central Imenti and as an elected Member of the Kenya National Assembly, just like my good friend speaks as the hon. Member for Ugenya and, occasionally, in his Ministerial position as the Minister for Lands. The point I am making is that the time for taking this House for granted has passed. The principle captured by the Constitution enables this House to scrutinise the reasons the Minister will provide for wanting 50 per cent of the Budget. He has failed to do so! For that reason, ... view

• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You will notice that the hon. Member has talked about the Minister having laid documents on the "Floor" of the House. It is not the Floor of the House, but the Table of the House! view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government must be commended for admitting that there were errors. However, they were not errors, rather they were incidents of abuse of office by the holder of the office of the Ministry of Local Government for the last election. view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what will he do with regard to the allowances that have been paid out to councillors that have been nominated unlawfully by his predecessor? This is public money that is being wasted! view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I commend the Minister for the Ministerial Statement she has issued. Several of the clarifications I was thinking about have been raised by my good friend, Mr. Namwamba. The issue I raised last week in this House with regard to the Political Parties Act, and to which the Chair agreed was a grave matter, was as to the manner in which the decision was taken to operationalise this Act while we were waiting for a Ministerial Statement. Therefore, the issue was alive in the House. I do appreciate that action was taken. I also commend her for ... view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Minister must have overlooked the fact that she did - And I do not want to anticipate debate on the Bills that she has published - comment on the process that will begin as soon as we pass those Bills. In terms of the National Accord, we have 12 months to effect these changes. The 12 months are covered in this Parliamentary Session. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will notice that Mr. Kimunya did not factor in any monies at all for the constitutional review in the Budget. Is the ... view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given the practice of Government Departments of transferring public servants--- That does not only happen in the Ministry of Education. It also happens in the Provincial Administration and the police force. Whenever there is misconduct on the part of the officer in charge of a particular institution, the first major step that is taken is to transfer that officer to another institution, where the same officer repeats what led to the interdiction or transfer in the first place. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister assure this House that the practice of transferring departmental heads ... view
