• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Hon. Junet is a very good friend of mine, but procedures are procedures and rules are rules. Hon. Junet is completely out of order to refer to amendments by other Members of Parliament, especially one that has been carried by this House as useless. He needs to withdraw and apologise to the House. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Order No.11 that has just been called is a report from the PIC. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am rising because you have just called Order No.11. My belief is that once it is moved then the debate starts. I have a lot of respect for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: this Committee and more so for the Chair who is a very close friend of mine. However, I was pleading with the Chair that we defer debate on this Motion so that a number of issues are addressed and especially if I could get a ruling from the Chair. Hon. Speaker, first of all, this report is so voluminous and important. I have looked at it. It is asking fundamental questions of integrity and chances are that money could be lost. Chances are that there is corruption. For a report like this, we need sufficient time to look at it ... view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: That is not the position view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I can see the Leader of Majority Party has struggled to address this issue. I sympathise with him because really he is a Member of Parliament like me and, therefore, cannot purport to be holding or answering on behalf of the Executive. I think this is one of the many areas where we have issues as a House on how to hold the Executive accountable. Having said that, our Constitution is not ambiguous on how one can assume office in the public service or in the Civil Service or any other office. Our Constitution spells ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: That is okay, hon. Deputy Speaker. Given that, probably, the Leader of Majority Party did not get what I was asking, or the clarification I sought, let me make it very brief and concise. I want to ask the Leader of Majority Party to clarify the fact that this is the Head of Public Service and this position is in the public service; there are requirements in the Constitution with regard to how an officer can occupy a position in the public service. Why was that not followed? Number two, the Leader of Majority Party has talked about the functions ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker this House has a responsibility and we cannot allow the Leader of Majority Party to escape from this issue of an appointment done illegally. This House must be alive to the fact that we are seeing dictatorship coming back to this country. We, therefore, need to be very careful. The same way some of us are talking today is the way Kariuki Chotara spoke in 1986 and Burudi Nabwera in 1988. The Leader of Majority Party needs to be very specific and address the issues that we are raising. He should not try to dodge. I asked ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Just allow me to make this one. The Leader of Majority Party read Article 132(4)(a). He is misleading this House. What that Article is talking about is setting up the office, but not appointing to that office. The President is allowed to set up office in the public service after getting approval from the Public Service Commission, but appointment to that office, as he has done with Joseph Kinyua, must follow the due process of law. We cannot allow, as a House, the Executive to start violating this Constitution. This House must stop despotic leadership in this country. There is ... view
