• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The letter from the EACC. It reads as follows: “We confirm that we have received allegations against Mr. James M. Muhoro who is a nominee to the above position. The Commission is actively investigating the allegations to inform appropriate course of action.” Hon. Deputy Speaker, it does not even say what type of allegations these are. It is a very vague letter, in my opinion. The only question, perhaps, that you need to advise us on and make an informed decision on is whether allegations alone are enough to declare that one does not have integrity. That is what I ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, we are here as respected Members of Parliament. I want to tell Members of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology that they have had an opportunity to debate these names. I wish they could give us, those of us who are not Members of that Committee, an opportunity to understand and scrutinize the Report and then make proper a decision. I am one person who values education very much. I am sure my colleagues do the same. The TSC, as it is now--- view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. In view of the fact that the report was not adopted by the House, I think we can sit as a Committee and look at it with a view to perhaps adopt it the way it is and make amendments the way we want. Maybe a duration of about two weeks will be enough for us to do that. So, I think I can give him my report in about two weeks’ time. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I just want to ask whether it is in order for hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to continue addressing this House after having called Members of this House thieves. Is he in order? Can he withdraw that statement and apologize or substantiate how these Members are thieves? view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I rise to second the amendment. As I second the amendment, it is important for hon. Members to understand why this amendment came into being. We do not want to be seen like we are asking for non- cooperation for this country. Without any question, this was a resolution of the 10th Parliament. The 10th Parliament made its own resolution with regard to the issue of International Criminal Court (ICC). This is contained in that particular part we want to amend. But what we are saying is that we do not want people to go out ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would want to ask two questions; what is the role of the civil society in these cases? That is the reason why Kenyans are totally unhappy with the happenings at the ICC. Recently, you heard about the issue of AFRICOG, the case of the Deputy President in point. We all know that the court granted the Deputy President permission to attend his cases at will. But what happened after instigation by some forces such as AFRICOG and other bureaus? The end result at the end of the day was overturned; meaning that the Deputy President will ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: When we see all these kind of things happening, that is why I am proposing that we amend this Motion. I have seconded and I am seconding. Hon. Speaker, Sir, you just allow me only one minute. When we talk about the ICC interest, it is only interested in causing instability. Already there is instability now; but the next question we will ask is: If they are not interested, who wants to use them to cause instability? To me, the answer will be very simple--- I beg to second. Thank you. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. We should be able to provide a response in two weeks. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I do have a lot of respect for this young man called hon. Gatobu especially for his passion for education. But on this particular amendment, I seem to have a problem with it. It looks like the beneficiary at the end of the day may not be those children that are actually benefiting from the textbooks. Maybe, the publishers will gain more than the children. There is no guarantee that these particular exemption will actually go to the primary schools to help them. I strongly oppose this particular amendment. The electronic version of the ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, with all due respect to my good colleague, there is absolutely no clear way of understanding that if these people are exempted from taxation, the children will actually benefit. Besides, we have the FPE programme in place. Textbooks are bought by the Government. So, I think we are playing some game here. view
