• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree that it is in order for officers to be transferred from time to time. However, is it in order for the Ministry, in making these transfers, to ensure that police officers of the same ethnic origin are placed in one particular place? view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have ruled here repeatedly on what needs to be complied with before the issue of sub judice can be raised. The hon. Assistant Minister has raised the issue of Standing Order No.43, but I thought he was going to refer to the Standing Order No.80. I am at a loss as to what he means. Many Kenyans are affected by this issue. If he is not ready to answer it, then it should be for very good reasons. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in an attempt to buttress his submission, the Assistant Minister has quoted a copy of a pleading, which is headed “Nakuru High Court Civil Case”. But the answer refers to the Court of Appeal. So he had better address that in his mind as he comes back to the House. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to continue misleading the House, when the week before, we were discussing before this House the price of power and he admitted that the Government is the majority shareholder in the KPLC? view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question touches on an issue of murder. One young man has died and from the words of the Assistant Minister, he has accepted the explanation from one of the victims that the suspects were in an AP Land Rover from Wamba. By now, while further investigations are being carried out, all or some of those APs should have been charged with murder. Why has this not happened? view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question that I wish to ask the Minister touches on the fundamental provisions of the CDF Act. Kisumu Town West Constituency has been having a more or less similar problem from August, 2009. It forced me to write a legal opinion of the requirements of the Act. The CDF Act simply requires that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) be supplied with the Minutes of the CDF Committee. That should be all. There is no provision in the CDF Act for the Minister to confirm or authorise. If there is, could the Minister tell this House ... view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In answer to my question, the Minister referred to Section 45 as giving him authority before accounts can be opened. I told him that that is not my understanding of the provisions. The Minister is misleading the House. Section 45 of the Act only allows the Minister to approve a list of banks. Once he has approved the list of banks there is no further approval required. He is out of order. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. What I was saying was, since the Minister does not appear to understand it quickly, that Section 45 authorizes him to approve the list of banks. So, once the committee has decided to open an account in any one of those banks which he has approved he does not need to give any further approval and he has got no powers to do it. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, clearly the Minister is wrong, but can you allow me to have a discussion with him later on outside the House, so that I can clear his mind on this? He is clearly being misled by himself. view
• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Under what circumstances did Xvarian Primary School in Kisumu Municipality enter into a contract with M/s Samjos Builders Company for construction of classrooms? (b) What was the obligation of the Ministry to discharge the contract amount? (c) What urgent steps is the Ministry taking to protect the school from auction by the company in pursuance of judgment in Kisumu Chief Magistrate’s Court, Civil Case No.311 of 2008 for approximately Kshs3 million? view
