• 20 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Am I in order to ask, given your ruling, that hon. Waititu gives us the section of the Act? Coming on the Floor and saying Cap this and Cap that does not help in this debate. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on a similar point of order. Is it in order for the Minister not to declare his full interest in this matter? He has said that the nominee is working in a task force in his office--- view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: He may have finished but allow me to finish also. Can the Minister inform this House whether the file that was before the former Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission relating to him has been concluded, so that we can listen to him in sobriety and how it was handled? view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to be very brief because I believe every Member who wants to speak on this issue should be allowed to do so. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I want to start by saying that I stand to support the Motion as proposed by the Committee. We must continue and ensure that we respect the work that is done by the Committees. If it is the question of the quality of the work, we say so, but trying to do character assassination will not be useful at all. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only want to deal with one issue. If you look at the Report for those who have it, I think it is on page 11, paragraph 21. It says: “The Committee further observed that the Executive failed to include details on the criteria used to bypass the best candidate. The Committee, therefore, recommends that future nominations should be accompanied by reports outlining the standards used.” There must be a reason as to why we pass No.1. I have been on this Floor severally saying we really need to give everybody an opportunity to run ... view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: We have had many reports on this Floor. As I said before, the best way to go is to have the best candidate at the right place. I know we have the issues of gender, regional balance and ethnicity. However, the issue of merit is given prominence in our Constitution. The fact that we had a better candidate than the person who has been nominated here allows me to support the position taken by this Committee. The requirements that the standards that have been used by those who have been nominated before be brought to the House, so that we ... view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the recommendations of this Committee. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead this House that the Committee is setting a bad example to our children, while in essence they are actually setting the best example to our children? This is because in Paragraph 21, they are saying that the best candidate was by-passed. We would like our children to know that once you become number one, you take the certificate home. It should not be given to number two. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister says that he has made it possible for us to come here without any fear of insecurity. This same Assistant Minister was on the Floor two years ago and he promised to give me a patrol vehicle from Nyeri to Nyahururu. The HANSARD here can bear me witness. All that he has managed to do to this House is to reduce this hour to a comedy hour where he comes to entertain us with promises that he does not fulfill. He cannot do this for forever. view
