• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due respect, this is a very important piece of legislation we want to pass here. However, it is being moved in two minutes without a proper explanation. I have not even understood what the whole Bill is all about. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: What is the hurry? view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. At least, I am relieved that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade has told this honourable House that they have studied this Bill and agreed with it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to say one thing. There is a danger of passing a law that is going to affect Kenyans without proper scrutiny by Parliament. We know that the 4000 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 18, 2007 Committee works on our behalf. But we should never do these things in a hurry. In 1982, Parliament--- view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was only referring to the fact that the Minister moved it at such a lightning speed that we did not understand what the Bill was all about. That is what I am concerned with. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with you entirely. That is why I am saying that I am also relieved because I trust the Chairman very much for very good reasons. This Bill, although it is an amendment, is very, very important. It is dealing with Government borrowing. In Section 3, although the Minister for Planning and National Development is very busy talking on that side, the Government may, from time to time, borrow--- view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with a light touch - he is my friend - I think he was not the one who was talking. But I was distracted. Nevertheless, it is in good jest and I do not mind. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are dealing with Government borrowing in Kenyan currency of such amounts and terms which may accrue interest, repayments or otherwise, as the Minister may determine. There is the issue of Government securities, advances from the Central Bank of Kenya, bank overdrafts or any other loans or credits. I am glad to say that they are actually ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to applaud your order. I want to bring to your attention the fact that the Minister has not only defied this House and your orders, but has also gone out of this very House to declare to the Press that he will not comply with your order. Why did you not report him to the President? view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, wish to urge you to maintain the dignity of this House and the superiority of Parliament and ensure that this Minister answers the Question. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, allow me - and I ask for forgiveness from my good friend, Mr. jode, to oppose this amendment. The reason why I oppose this amendment is: For the short time that we had alcoblow, there was sanity on our roads. Driving at night on our roads is a hazard because of the number of people who drive carelessly because of drunkenness. I would urge my friend, Mr. Ojode, to exercise reason and not side with the alcohol industry because we have to protect our people. The only solution is to make sure that this law ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, a further addition to that amendment by the Attorney-General appears to make it more clear. Are we now voting on the further amendment to the amendment or on Mr. Muturi's amendment? I think Mr. Muturi should accept it first. view
