• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The thrust of my question - which, I think, eluded the Assistant Minister - is that if the allegations were so grave, then why could the accused not be taken to the normal criminal procedure court? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister say that the retirement age for the disabled cannot be extended to 65 years, unless the law is amended. But he is aware that the retirement age for civil servants was enhanced from 55 years to 60 years by a circular from the Office of the President. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to give the impression that the retirement age for persons with disabilities cannot be extended to 65 years unless the law is amended, when he should be aware that it can be ... view

• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Further to what Mr. Imanyara and Ms. Karua have said, I wish to ask if the ruling that you have just given in respect of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will not dilute the provisions of Standing Order No.46 that says that it is gross disorder for a Minister to fail to answer a Question which is on the Order Paper. view

• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: This is completely different, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you were delivering your ruling, I saw Prof. Olweny walk in through the doors of the Chamber, he stood at the Bar, looked at you for a moment and then turned round and walked out! Is that proper conduct in the usage of the customs of the House? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Neither the hon. Attorney-General nor my learned brothers and sisters who have spoken have addressed the root cause of the problem. The root cause of the problem the Attorney- General is facing in his office is the Government Proceedings Act that came into force on 18th December 1956. The Government Proceedings Act specifically provides in Section 21(4) that:- “Save as provided in this section, no execution or attachment or process in the nature thereof shall be issued out of any court for enforcing payment by the Government of any money or ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I raised the issue on Tuesday. The hon. Assistant Minister must be aware that the Public Service Commission delegates its authority to PSs and other senior civil servants in relation to junior staff. The circumstances we are dealing with in the House today, the PSC delegated its powers to the PS, Ministry of Education. The PS Ministry of Education was acting as an agent of the PSC. As an agent of the PSC, whatever actions the agent takes binds the principal fully. So, when the PSC decided on 16th March, 2011, to terminate the services of ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: The Order reads as follows:- “The Respondent’s, Public Service Commission, decision to terminate and re-advertise the grievance employment positions is hereby stayed pending the hearing and determination of this application.” Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my understanding of this is that the order stopped the PSC from enforcing that decision that communicates to the Ministry and which action had not been taken. That being the case, therefore, the PSC was grossly out of order to proceed to ignore this order of the court. That is impunity. Second point, way back on 16th December, 2010, the agent of the PSC and that ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: “Nullification of these employments would have social, psychological, political and even economical consequences, including disruption of programmes of the Ministry given that the staff concerned is already deployed to our offices all over the country.” Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to table this letter of the PS. view
