• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In addition to that, is it in order for the Minister to claim that the reason why they cannot pay police officers now is because they do not have money, yet the Minister is aware of the provisions of the Constitution? You do not have to wait for the Revised Estimates. The current Constitution allows him to request Parliament at any time to approve any overspending. If he is in doubt, please read Article 223 of the Constitution, so that you can pay these police officers because they serve Kenyans well. ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support hon. Bony Khalwale’s request. This House directed the Committee of Parliament to go and investigate the matter and report back. The Committee has done a good job. It completed its work and reported back to the House. It would only be prudent for this House to dispose of that Report, so that it does not become a pending Report in the House. Further, the Government is in the process of negotiating to go into a joint venture with this particular company. That decision needs to be made, but it cannot be ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr, Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. You gave the chance to the Minister, and what I have seen is that hon. Dr. Otichilo has addressed the House. So, I am not sure when he was appointed to the Cabinet. If so, he addressed the House from the wrong side. He should have addressed the House from the other side. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move t to Clause 6 (2) (a) be amended as follows:- (i) By deleting paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) and substituting therefor the following new paragraphs (a) A Vice-Chancellor of a public university appointed by the Cabinet Secretary. (b) A vice-Chancellor of a private university appointed by the Cabinet Secretary (c) A member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (d) A judge of the High Court who shall be nominated by the Chief Justice. (ii) By Inserting the words “provided that the person nominated is not a Member of the Council ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Even though I have heard hon. Baiya claim that being an Accountant I may not appreciate, but this is lawmaking. If he is saying that the Vice-Chancellors’ training is not on legal background, who says that lawyers will be the Principal Secretaries? So, I think hon. Baiya is contradicting himself when he says that, because Vice-Chancellors may not be lawyers. The same reasoning would go to the Principal Secretaries. No one conditions the President to appoint a lawyer as a Principal Secretary. So, my reasoning was – even though hon. ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, hon. Baiya was contradicting himself by saying that since the Vice-Chancellors are not lawyers, then it makes their position in the Board not tenable, yet he is proposing to return the Principal Secretaries, who may also not be lawyers. So, that argument is contradicting. Is hon. Baiya in order? view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to discuss my Motion without understanding it? I have said that the vice-chancellors are supposed to be appointed by the Cabinet Secretary. There is no need for unions. These appointments will come from the Principal Secretary; it happens in so many boards where the Ministry appoints representatives. So, the Minister is addressing himself to this Motion without understanding what my amendment seeks to do. My amendment is asking the Cabinet Secretary responsible for the Ministry to appoint, yet the Minister is talking of ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: That is a perfect point of order, Mr. Baiya. If you are in doubt, please read again your Standing Orders. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. There is lack of quorum. view
• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to support this amendment. I would like to remind the Chair of the Budget Committee that actually Members of Parliament are vetted directly by the people of Kenya through the ballot. If the people of Kenya had capacity to vet every office holder, they would do it but because it is not practical, they delegate it to the legislative assembly to do it on their behalf. The National Assembly is subjected to direct vetting by the people of Kenya through the ballot. You only need to give them information. view
