• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that I see the Government has mobilized to defeat this Report, why can you not just put the question so that we go home? We can save our money and time. view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wonder whether there are two Ministries called the “Ministry of Lands.” Is it in order for the Assistant Minister today to claim that his hands are tied and yet on 22nd February, 2011, while answering the same Question, this is what the Minister said:- “Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had actually spoken to him and informed him that we are actually looking into this issue and raised other issues which are still hostile and hot. I can assure the hon. Member that once that report is actually before me, Mr. Makau will ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Minister needs to be commended because wherever he goes to a Ministry, we see differences. Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that he has already undertaken various reforms which require supervision from his education officers, what has he done to ensure that these officers are given capacity in terms of transport to enable them supervise and inspect these schools? The other day, he took disciplinary action against the County Education Director, Homa Bay, who comes from my constituency. She is a widow and very hardworking officer. He has assured me that he will look into that matter again ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You did make an indication that, really, we did not have time and I believe that Parliament’s time need to be used effectively. I have been listening to the Minister and do not understand why the Statement is called for. Heads of State have been dying in this continent and we have never heard anything. If there is a specific reason--- view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he should tell us why this Statement is necessary. If there are Kenyans who made unnecessary remarks, he should tell us rather than making it general. view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Act says the power to make regulations shall be exercised only after a draft of the proposed regulations has been approved by the National Assembly, at least six months preceding a general election. Even though the Minister is calculating his six months to elections to end on 4th, I would like to tell him that, to me, the date is 3rd September. Because elections will be on 4th, the last date to the end of the six preceding months is 3rd which is a Monday. So already we are violating the provisions of this ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it says that the regulations should be tabled in this House six months to the elections. The reasons why I raise these matters are as follows: These regulations were ready way back. Why did the IEBC refuse to submit these rules and regulations to his office to table them in Parliament? Was it because they did not want this Parliament to scrutinize these regulations? Now that this House is not likely to meet this statutory requirement, what are they going to do to ensure that these regulations, even when we approve them, will not be ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is, really, to plead with the Chair. This is a very important matter. We are interested in listening to the Mover and the seconder of the Motion, so that we can make an informed decision. The recommendations in this Report are weighty. Could you, kindly, allow the Mover to proceed uninterrupted? view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As a way forward, we used to get communications well in advance from the Speaker’s Office whenever Questions are sent to the Ministry. In the event that there is a difference between your original Question and what is sent to the Ministry, it could be corrected in advance. Could this be restarted so that hon. Members get communication whenever a Question is sent to the Ministry to avoid seeing different Questions? view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when there was the All Africa Games, we heard of the story of joy-riders accompanying our athletes. This House complained but no action was taken. What guarantee is the Prime Minister giving us that once they finish with the probe and they find these joy-riders and whoever gave them the authority to use taxpayers money instead of athletes--- What action will they take so that these people are discouraged from enjoying and causing confusion? view
