• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think what the Minister has done he deserves a word of thank you. I wish all Ministers listened to Members of Parliament when it matters. Unfortunately he is going away to be a Governor somewhere. We will miss you, but we will come for tea in your office. I support. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Report and in so doing, I want to say one thing; that, the list as presented by Mr. Kapondi is a list of good Kenyans. I want to particularly say what I said here when we bid farewell to the former Clerk, Mr. Gichohi. I said that Mr. Gichohi’s mind could have been a terrible mind to go to waste by going into retirement and going into farming somewhere. I am particularly delighted that he is moving from this House to be used further in the Public Service Commission. I think ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Report as amended. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if this is not discrimination; I do not know what is. This is just bad. I want to thank the House for figuring it out. I also want to thank the Chairman of the Committee who does meticulous work for standing for what is right the other time and this time. When the names were presented before this House last week or thereabout, there was nothing about Mrs. Lydia Nzomo being investigated by the EACC. Then today, somebody brings a letter saying ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am not convinced that Mr. Keynan is doing the right thing. All these issues of security and intelligence, in my view, are national issues. Insecurity in any part of the country should be dealt by Parliament in both Houses. I am not sure that what Mr. Keynan is doing is not attempting to create a conflict because at what point will which committee know when to take up a matter? view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Not just yet, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sorry. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry that the Order Paper that I have talks about Order No.17. I think I am a bit mixed up with the Order Papers. But the issue I need to raise before you is that the business appearing on Order No.18 as was called is one which is highly controversial. We had been directed in the House Business Committee to meet as the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade when we raised the issues. This Report found its way into this House in a way that was not agreed by the Committee. We would ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Order Paper that I have, it is Order No.17. That is not my mistake. The Order Paper that I am holding in my hand is showing Order No.17. That is why I was rising and when the clerk called Order No.18, I was taken aback. It is not inadvertently. It is because I am holding another Order Paper which is also the property of the House which shows that business as Order No.17. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.25(1) to move that the debate be now adjourned. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason I moved that the debate on this particular Motion be adjourned is that this is supposed to be a parliamentary committee report. What is happening has more than meets the eye. I say that because the Chair of the House Business Committee convened a meeting where we all sat and agreed that the chair would consult the Speaker, call a meeting of the Committee and then we all agree on the way forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all the Chair has done is to consult you and it may be true, because you said that he ... view
