• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Githae to mislead the House that all the positions that are being vetted have security of tenure yet he knows very well that even Cabinet Secretaries are going to be vetted? The Attorney-General was vetted. All these positions do not have security of tenure. As a matter of fact, when a new President comes in, it should be like the Cabinet. You come in with your new security advisor and you proceed. That is how it is in the civilized world. view
• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, usually, I do not like opposing amendments brought by Mr. Keynan because he is usually a very thorough legislator. But we need to learn that in the past, the education level was very low when people joining this intelligence process. Nowadays, people join this service with high academic qualifications. Therefore, it takes a shorter time to learn. Instead of raising this to seven years, why can we just not leave it at five years and in management, seven years? This idea of just raising it to 10 years, some people will be retired before even ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Is the Minister for Finance in order to say that in Kenya, unlike other places, the only money available for the NSIS is that which we vote as a one line budget for them yet, the Minister is very much aware that they load money in parastatals to be given back to the NSIS? This is something we know. If the Government thought we do not know, I think the Minister should know that we know. He should not--- view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I understand the concerns of my colleagues. If it is a question of some State organs not acting on reports, I think the best thing to do is to legislate on those pieces of legislation governing those institutions. However, it will be wrong for us as a country to create a body that has more powers than the President of this country. The moment you say that any State organ or State officer is bound to accept all the advice from the NIS, then what you mean is that whatever they give the President he must ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the whole amendment both (i) and (ii). If it is administrative procedure, it is administrative procedure. We need to understand that because these are regulations. Regulations by law are delegated legislations. Right now, we are waiting in this Parliament to receive rules and regulations from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) because we legislated that those rules and regulations must pass through Parliament. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, he cannot inform me. This guy is an economist or industrialist! Why is he informing me and I have not allowed him to do so. The rules are that I have to say “yes” when I am to be informed. I have not said “yes”. Therefore, I do not want any information. Anyway, let me allow him to inform me. view
