• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in addition to Dr. Khalwale yesterday, I also sought a statement from the Minister, and I am glad to say that the Minister has addressed most of the issues that I raised yesterday. But there are certain issues that I must bring to his attention. One, under the Police Act, there is the Police Force Standing Orders, Restricted Operations Manual which indicates that when a public gathering is going to take place and notification is given to the police, the police, using intelligence, will then assess the strength of the force of the security that is ... view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am asking the Minister to address his mind to this common thread that is developing! view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I am saying that, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, because hon. Members who immediately after these incidents came out to say that we should suspend the process, should know that the process cannot be suspended unless the law is amended on the Floor of this House. Thirdly, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister has said that the detonations at Uhuru Park and the explosives came out within the public. Clearly, there is no evidence so far to indicate that these were timed devices. So, they must have been detonated physically. Is it possible that a member of the public or participants ... view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am glad that you have reminded the Assistant Minister about the ruling of Mr. Speaker. Clearly, the hon. Assistant Minister is out of order and is trying to use everything he knows in the book to avoid answering the Question. On the day Mr. Speaker was in the House these were the actual words of Mr. Speaker when he raised the issue of subjudice. The Speaker clearly ruled as follows: “Hon. Members, in the light of the foregoing, it is my considered view that the Assistant Minister has not passed ... view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: once again is clearly grossly out of order. I plead with the Chair to declare him out of order. view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order was this: You have noticed that the Assistant Minister continues to raise the issue of subjudice. Either he is just being indignant or he does not understand. Under the circumstances, I wish to ask that the Chair becomes a little bit more harsh with the Assistant Minister. view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to under-emphasize the gravity of the issue Dr. Khalwale has raised in respect to the bombing at Uhuru Park. I also wish to request for a Ministerial Statement not from the Office of the Prime Minister, but from the Office of the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. My request is specific. First, I would like the Minister to address the circumstances surrounding the notification to the police of the public meeting that was held at Uhuru Park; how the meeting turned into a rally; and the chronology of ... view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to interrogate whatever the answer is, but since you have ruled that it is the property of the House, I wish to request with humility that an answer be given for the sake of the Members of Parliament who may wish to know what the answer is. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank you most sincerely for giving me this chance after the count of five. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: The issue I want to raise touches on the Draft Constitution, Chapter 11, which has been mentioned very briefly by hon. Affey. This chapter is on the reforms of the Judiciary. What is contained in Chapter 11 of the Draft Constitution is meant to create a robust, transparent and independent Judiciary. Those are qualities that some members of the Judiciary are afraid of. To that extent, therefore, what steps is the Government taking to ensure that the Judiciary is not manipulated by those who are anti-reform in Kenya? view
