• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had actually asked for a Statement from the Minister in respect of this matter today. It is good enough for a lawyer like my colleague, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, to say that the judgment is erroneous; it is not based on law and not capable of being complied with. That is quite proper in law. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we address this issue, another very, very important issue that comes up is this, while the country has been debating this issue, the hon. Chief Justice has come out in the media to comment ... view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am quite relieved that the Minister for Foreign Affairs has today said that what was said in the Press is not what he uttered. To that extent, therefore, could he tell the House how far he has gone with the appeal? view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I raised that issue, first of all, and I have heard my junior colleagues, through the Minister, talk about it as well. The issue that we find unpalatable is that when a matter is live; a matter is trite, then the Chief Justice comments about it. Whether it comes before him by way of contempt proceedings or it comes before him by any other proceedings, he should not be commenting in public! All lawyers should know that. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I refer to the answer by the Assistant Minister in which he said that there are two satellite oncology cancer clinics; one in Coast Provincial Hospital and the other at the Nyanza Provincial Hospital. The Assistant Minister must be aware that machines for early detection and treatment of cancer were installed at the Coast Provincial Hospital and also Nyanza Provincial Hospitals, but they were not operated because of lack of oncologists, that is, people who are trained to man these machines, until they became obsolete. Of what use are these centres if they cannot detect ... view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like my learned friend, Mr. Mungatana, I am also surprised at this turn of events. As far as the House is concerned, the ODM as a party has withdrawn its membership from this Committee. To that extent, therefore, this Committee does not exist anymore. As things are now, it does not exist. It is illegal. What needs to be done would be for the names to be brought by way of a Motion to this House. To do that, we would have to comply very strictly with Standing Order No.160 as read together with ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the consistent answers given by the Assistant Minister, it is evident that they admit that doctors have grievances which should be addressed. In view of the difficulties that he is facing from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance, would it be in order for the House to take over this matter with the relevant Committee? view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill very brilliantly done by my learned friend, hon. Wamalwa. This Bill has already caught the attention of young Kenyans. Over the weekend, I was presiding at a hand-over ceremony after the elections of Kisumu Centre where we had over 1,000 youths in Kisumu. One of the things that they mentioned to me, very clearly, was this Bill. They said that they would like to see me support it with all my heart and that is what I stand here to do. This Bill will clearly meet resistance from entrenched interests, ... view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is good enough for the Ministry to say that they are making learning more friendly to the older persons. Of course, I assume that it is also the policy of the Ministry to make learning friendly to the young. What is the policy of the Ministry in mixing 60 year-olds going to class with 45 year-olds? How does it make learning friendly for the young and the old when you mix them like that? view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Maybe I need to make myself clear. What is the policy of the Ministry in mixing both the young and the old in one class? Does it help? view
