On a point of information, hon. Speaker.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I just want to inform hon. Duale that he is not wrong. Actually, I do not think he should be asked to substantiate because there is this talk. I have just spoken about it. Why did the hon. Member not challenge me? People talk about these things here and I think it is high time we addressed it. If we do so, the better. We should address this issue of money exchanging hands and what have you so that this House maintains its dignity.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to take credit and give it to the Executive, that is the President and the Deputy President, yet the matter we are canvassing was raised by an “Opposition” Member of Parliament in the name of John Mbadi? It is not right for the Jubilee Government to take credit for this by insinuating that the President---

5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate how emotive this issue of the media Bill is. However, I am just wondering because we have to transact business within our rules. The Bill that the Chair is referring to was actually passed by this House. I do not know whether this Statement intends to re-open the Bill because it has to go to the President who can refuse to assent to it and then it is sent back to us as a House. So, we will deal with the Bill once it is referred to us appropriately rather ...

5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is quite interesting and unfortunate that this matter is coming at this point. Much as I agree with your ruling, the issue that hon. Kisoi has raised needs substantiation. The reason why I feel that this matter should be sorted out at this point is because the Member he has mentioned together with me are the two Members who raised this issue. If one of us has an interest, then it complicates the matter. Before he mentioned hon. Gitari, I was reallly jittery. I was wondering how he could make such a serious allegation about me. ...

5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Since this issue came as a result of a Statement from hon. Mbadi and hon. Gitari, it appears to me that hon. Gitari is being adversely mentioned. It would be proper to ask hon. Kisoi to substantiate. Otherwise, we should not allow the Floor of this House to be used to scandalize other Members. If it turns out that hon. Gitari took advantage of my Statement to further his own personal interest, then either of them should be named; the Member we will determine as being mischievous needs to be named.

I want to contribute. I think I have one minute to contribute, the rest I will finish tomorrow. Thank hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to support the Motion as it is. My main reason for seeking the statement was not for witch-hunt nor was it to have any person removed from office, but rather to have things done properly as per the law. Having two senior officers at the level of Job “T” and “R” being transferred without any reason and without following due process of the law was not right.

Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I was saying that, having two senior officers at the level of Director of Survey and his Deputy being transferred and without following the due process of the law, was in my view, not right and that is why I felt that these Kenyans need to be protected and saved. That is why I raised this statement. I want to thank the Committee for doing a commendable job of looking at the legality of the transfers; and the legality of creation of the position which hon. Gitari talked about. The Constitution is very clear. It ...

31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you for giving me this chance. I am seeking your direction, and maybe the way forward regarding an item which had been presented to this House but has not been transacted. This is with regard to a petition, to look at the conduct of Salaries and Remuneration Commission. I have an issue because of two fundamental concerns. First, this Commission’s incompetence is actually stalling the activities and operations of the counties at the moment.
