• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: We are not going to be in a situation where, for example, now the Government wants to build institutions within this city or somebody has got a good investment to put in this city, but they cannot get the land in order to put up that investment. So, we are going to make sure that those things are done. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nairobi is already a regional centre. It is very competitive. I remember when the former President of the United States of America (USA) visited this part of the world in Entebbe, he could not come to ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek your permission to give a Ministerial Statement tomorrow in view of what is coming from the Floor. As I have personally said, I felt very embarrassed and ashamed. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: In fact, in other circumstances and in other countries, just like other hon. Members in front here and behind me have done; they have called for a resignation. If that was, indeed, in the UK or some other place, I may have been forced to resign. Now, I am concerned that while we are talking about these matters that the integrity and the security of the property may stand in jeopardy. So, I want to explain to the House tomorrow what decisions we have taken to preserve that property until we are either guided by Cabinet or the House, so ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, tomorrow afternoon. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was looking at Mr. Speaker when the hon. Member stood up to speak. I did not see Mr. Speaker's eyes directed to Mr. Imanyara. I do not know how Mr. Speaker is directing his eye. Did he really catch Mr. Speaker's eye? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know that at one time, Mr. Imanyara was known as the "King" of Meru. He keeps on using the word "we". Is he speaking on behalf of the Meru people so as to say "we"? Why can he not speak for himself? view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am wondering whether the House can actually proceed to debate the Motion as amended. I have several reasons that I want to seek your guidance over. One, I see the Motion as amended by Mr. Imanyara. At the end of the Motion, it is saying: "The President has given his assent to this Motion", which is not true. So, the Motion is telling a lie as it were! It has not been approved! view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: However, more importantly, one of the most important functions of Parliament is to authorise expenditure, particularly, when we are in the Committee of Supply. You will find the same provisions in Section 100(1) as you find in Section 101. Unfortunately, Mr. Imanyara, when reading that Section, as a good lawyer who is well paid, never reads the whole provisions. Good lawyers who are well paid never read the whole provisions. They read the part that supports their case and leave out the parts that do not support their case. So, I would urge you to read the entire provisions of ... view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: No, he has not amended the Schedule. The Schedule is part of the Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will remember that, as Parliament, there are so many legislations we pass here, which have schedules or rules or regulations. If the schedule is part of the Bill, you must also vote on the schedule. Accordingly, we must pass, in respect of each Vote, the amount that has been laid down in the schedule by the Minister for Finance. So, I would say that if we go in any other version, we will be violating the foundations of our Constitution, which require ... view
