• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, and that is why I have not discussed the matter in detail, hon. Speaker. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to leave it at that. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you are right. Actually, in a nutshell, this particular provision in our Standing Orders stops us from discussing the proceedings of the House. If any Member refers to the proceedings of a Select Committee, he or she is out of order. So, that is what we need to determine. Finally, I want to respond to the issue raised by hon. Ochieng. I agree that, as Members of Parliament, we need to try as much as possible to protect the dignity of this House. There are comments that if we make may put us in a very awkward situation ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: and report on all matters. Standing Order 203 provides that the Committee may, with the approval of the Speaker, engage such experts as it may consider necessary. So, my only concern is that, as a House and as Committees, we need to provide enough time for various Government agencies to finalise the investigations before we are seized of matters. This is something on which I think, as Committees, we need to exercise caution. However, the power to investigate any matter is given to this House. So, we need to balance the two. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Regarding the first request by hon. Njenga, you will recall that in the 10th Parliament this issue did come up and the Minister then promised payment at a particular time. Therefore, as the Committee looks at this matter, I think it would be important also for it to go back to the records of Parliament and hold the Ministry accountable because these retired teachers are suffering and they are all over the country. They keep on asking us when they will be paid and this is a matter even courts had determined. ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was just concerned how we will treat this. Remember that I had sought a similar Statement, not on this particular office. Anyway let me reserve that. I do not know how this can be consolidated so that the Leader of Majority Party can bring one comprehensive Statement because it appears this Ministry has a problem regarding appointments. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank my friend, hon. Gaichuhie and the Committee for the Statement and for taking time to really investigate and dig into the stages that this Bill has gone through. My only concern is, if you listened to hon. Gaichuhie on behalf of the Committee, he mentioned that this Bill actually was ready at one point and it is like the process started again. It is a little bit worrying that this Bill was ready without the stakeholders’ involvement, from what he has said. That is what I deduce but I was ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. What happened to the Kenyan is bad. But no amount of annoyance or anger would make us violate the rules of this House. If you have to discuss the conduct or behaviour of the American Government, why do you not move a Motion on the Floor of this House and we will be here to debate the conduct of that Government? It is wrong to use anger to violate the rules of this House. It is completely unacceptable. We need to apply and respect our rules; otherwise, this House is going to sink to the ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to seek a Statement from the Leader of Majority Party. Pursuant to the Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Leader of Majority Party regarding the appointment by the President of Mr. Joseph Kinyua to the office of Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service. In his Statement, the Leader of Majority Party should inquire into and report on:- (i) whether the position of the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service as a position in the Public Service is a State office or is an office ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: between the office and that of the Secretary to the Cabinet appointed under Article 154 of the Constitution. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Leader of Majority Party should also explain to this House, or report to this House, whether the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service will be attending Cabinet meetings or has been attending Cabinet meetings, and if so under what legal provisions of the Constitution or any other legislation that is in place. view
