• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I ask my supplementary question, may I kindly confirm the position of this Question. I have been approached by Members of this House about the objective of this Question but I want to say that the reason why this Question is on the Order Paper is because, as a Member of this House and an officer of the High Court, I owe it to the country to find out why judges appear to be running away from their cases. The thrust of this Question is not to impute any motive on any Member view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the Municipal Council of Kisumu has effected an increase in fees and licences and introduced new ones to cover diverse activities including hawking, bicycle and motorcycle transport, bus park entry for passenger vehicles and levies on various transporters of building materials, manufactured items and fish? (b) What is the legal validity of these levies and did any level of stakeholder consultations take place before the levies were effected? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government has stated that he is not aware about the increments that have occurred since 2007 apart from the last one in the same year. If it is, indeed, true that the council has increased levies as set out in this Question, could the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government declare that the levies which were increased after 2007 are clearly illegal? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the satisfaction of the people of Kisumu arises from two facts. First, recently the Minister enhanced the allowances of local authorities, particularly in Kisumu and I have no problem with that at all. However, is it possible that the levies which are being enhanced are meant to cover for the increased allowances of the councilors or is it because there was no stakeholders’ consultation as required by the Local Government Act? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank you for that very reasoned Communication from the Chair. But as the Speaker will recall, the Bill to amend Section 7 of the Commissions of Inquiries Act was drawn and filed by myself. The spirit of that amendment was to make available to the House both future and past commissions of inquiries reports. In view of that spirit, and in the reading of the Constitution that the Speaker has referred to very ably, I have the request for leave for the Chair to reconsider the ruling, so as ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for many years since Boda Boda business started, the Ministry of Local Government and the Government generally have been treating Boda Boda operators as criminals, who deserve to pay protection money. In all local authorities, Boda Boda operators are treated as if they are second class citizens. Whereas, I agree that local authorities can raise funds to be self sustaining, what view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for hon. Musila. However, I think he got it wrong this time round. In addition to what hon. Kabogo said that he has to state the law on which he is relying, it is important that if he will invoke confidentiality as the ground to which he will not answer a Question before the House, is it in order for him to do so, without regarding Section 35 of the Constitution which is clear and states as follows: “Every citizen has a right to access of; ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to, first of all, support hon. Ethuro. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is in the Standing Orders that if a mover of a Motion is not there to move it, he must have written instructions to the Chair saying so. view
