• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to be very brief. I rise to support the amendment brought by Mr. Kapondi. I want to say that I have been talking to Mr. Kapondi and Mr. Mututho so that they can sit together, marry and address the issues of the Alcohol Drinks Control Bill. I want to disagree with Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona; how do you say that there is a school, the Holy Family Basilica and there is Inter-Continental Hotel that sells alcohol and you are asking the hotel to move. It cannot happen because there is a way of doing these ... view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member on the Floor in order not to appreciate the fact that the chemicals mentioned by the MP for Molo only appear in certain parts of this country? People do not drink chemicals where I come from. So, we are telling him this law cannot be universal in this country. That is why we are pleading with him. We have spoken to him, so that they can marry. You cannot punish us because your people are drinking chemicals. view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Seeing that people seem to have exhausted this debate, they are being repetitive, would I be in order to ask you to call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just on the same issue, I would request that as you give us guidance on the issue raised by hon. Kabogo, as you may be aware, yesterday The Standard Newspaper on its front page named many Members of Parliament to the extent that they alleged that we are fearing that we will not be allowed to run for our parliamentary seats or otherwise. I have no case against me in court. Which Kenyan does not know that the case against hon. Ethuro and hon. Nanok was dismissed only last week? ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me, first, thank the Minister because he has been very brave of late. I want to applaud him for that. What the Minister has done is the right thing. I want to tell him that as things stand today, there is no other way of realizing this taking into account the integrity of the process. It is good that we have been telling out colleagues in the Diaspora that we will realize this but it involves money. However, this is not the first country to try to get the ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want the Minister to help us move this process forward by committing that tomorrow, some of the clarifications he has made before the House, he will do the same in a public press conference, particularly the one where the old generation identity cards are not allowed. That is because even as at yesterday, I got a phone call from Bondo and Gem that the clerks are rejecting the old generation identity cards. Further, he should clarify what is the time of reporting to work view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Just a quick one, the Minister has also been promising this House that he would be making a Statement on the academic qualifications required for the various posts. This is important because it is causing a lot of anxiety around the country. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I reluctantly support. I think hon. Kimunya must learn how to do things the right way. But I support him on this Motion. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I agree that the debate ensuing is healthy, this report is a product of this House and once it gets here, any hon. Member is free to debate it. Therefore, I stand to be told which part of the Standing Orders would bar Mr. Mututho from debating and amending the report. Secondly, I am seeking your guidance because when you say that an amendment of this nature must be approved by the Speaker, I seek to disagree because an amendment to a report can happen on the Floor of ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have to save this country. What the Minister has read and what the Governor of CBK is purporting to do, is against the Freedom of Information Act; it is against the Constitution. It even violates the mandate of Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have sat in the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee for the last 10 years. The very same CBK Governor who is still in office now - I believe more or less illegally - has provided constantly that information to the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee which is Parliament. When we began investigating Charterhouse ... view
