• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The bottom line of all this is that we are talking about wards and constituencies. Actually, the bottom line is about boundaries. We know the essence of who rules or represents Kenya really depends on the kind of report that we are placing before the House, either for approval or disapproval. I would really plead with the Committee that, unless they put before us a full Report without any pretence of bringing any additions or corrigenda; that the debate only begins when all the material is placed before the House, I ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know you had given the House a direction; what was required of the Vice-Chairman to do. When he came and took the Floor he talked about a proposed amendment and then proceeded to say, “I Table”. Now, on record we do not know what he has tabled; the proposed amendment to the Motion or the corrigenda? I think what is important for the purpose of the record is that your directive should be complied with then we can move from that step. Can the corrigenda be formally tabled and then we can move on how ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had asked Mr. Ruto to give me a little time although it is a Question by Private Notice. But there are issues there that need a little bit of research. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Tuesday afternoon, next week. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry. I was expecting this Statement to come from my office at 9.10 a.m. but it is not yet here. Although I had agreed with my friend that I will give it in the morning, if he can bear with me I can give it in the afternoon. Actually, it was meant to be given in the afternoon. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this proposal for adjournment. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, when I stood up when we were wondering what to do, I was thinking of a practical way to move forward rather than lamentations. In fact, my idea initially was that we can continue with the debate. I thought that probably we should use our time more effectively by knowing at what point to adjourn debate; if we adjourn at this particular moment, the arguments for and against will not go on record; but now that the Motion has come at this particular point in time I have no problem, but I would wish ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for me, what is important is that everything should be done to make sure that we have something that satisfies the desires of the Kenyan people as a whole. Indeed, what I am surprised at is that when we were in Mombasa, we had more Members of Parliament attending that session, including the Chairman, than are here this morning. When we were discussing the Bills yesterday, there were hardly six hon. Members in the House. I do not speak for other Ministers, but speak for myself. When it comes to matters of principle, I do not ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to give information that it is not just the Whips but the Acting Head of Civil Service has been sending messages to Members of the Front Bench to come and I can show the message that has been sent to me. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the point I have been trying to make. In fact, most of the amendments are by the Chair of the Committee in the next stage of the Committee of the Whole House. We are prepared, as a Government to prosecute the next order. So, there is no problem. view
