• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me also support the amendments. As hon. Ethuro has rightly put it, this proposal by the Minister has actually given us a window through which the Committee can then propose this amendment. But just allow me to say that I hope it will be understood by the Executive that counties are actually governments – it is a level of Government. Let the Executive not treat counties as the babies of the national government. So, I support the amendments proposed by the Committee. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will try to make my contribution within that time even though time has lapsed since then. Looking at this Bill, I was particularly concerned with how it respects Cap.12 of the Constitution and two, how fateful it is to devolution. I want, first of all, to start by saying that there are quite a number of provisions in this particular Bill which I feel are not respecting the provisions of the Constitution. I will just give notice that I will be moving a number of amendments to align this Bill to what ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With difficulty I would want to interrupt the debate by Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o who I am very sure is more learned or educated. My concern was not about the policies of the Government because I see the hon. Member misrepresenting my concern. My concern was with regard to the wording of this particular provision which is lifted directly from the Constitution but where the Constitution says “public” it puts “Cabinet Secretary” and uses the word “shall”. So it is conditioning Parliament that it must take into consideration the views of the ... view

• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is misrepresenting what I said. I said that this should be done in consultation with the county governments and I explained why I would require county governments to come in; they have a stake. County governments are not passengers; they have a stake. view
• 14 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Order No.8 reads:- “Presentation of the Financial Statement for the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 pursuant to Standing Order 148(1) and (2).” If I check the Standing Order No.148 (1) and (2) it says:- (1) Unless the House otherwise orders, the debate on the financial statement on the Annual Estimates shall take precedence over all other business, and until disposed of shall be set down each day as the first business of that day. view

• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister has talked about a mass measles vaccination campaign in May 2011. Could he tell us, what was the target population and percentage of success for that particular initiative? view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. There is a question that Rachel had asked about how much the Treasury had allocated to this project apart from the World Bank funds. view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, anytime the Speaker approves Questions and the Clerk writes very clearly, he gives copies to the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Minister concerned, the Leader of Government Business, the Prime Minister and the Member of Parliament concerned. Regarding a Question which was asked on the 26th of August 2011, the Member has not received an answer to date. Many a times in this House we have seen Ministers stand to read their Statements or answers and then they say, “I am not satisfied with the answer”. That clearly shows you that these Ministers are not even ... view
