• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we do not even know whether some of them are still in ODM--- view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Khalwale is a medical doctor; he is very learned. Rule 6 says a party shall be entitled to nominate for election under these rules any number of candidates not exceeding three times--- Five times three is 15. So, any number not exceeding 15 is allowed. Hon. Khalwale, nine does not exceed 15. So, if ODM has nominated nine, that is perfectly within the rules. However, I think Dr. Khalwale needs to relax. This matter is before a Committee and that is what the rule says. The Committee will do ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know it is late in the day, but I just wanted to make some few observations that when you are coming up with a legislation of this type, there is need for wider consultation with stakeholders. You realize that I have communicated with people like the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) and the university researchers who do a lot of research and are going to be affected by this Bill and there was no serious consultation with those stakeholders. The media fraternity is also going to be affected. The assumption ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: I also wanted to say that this Bill was of no much significance. Dr. Khalwale has talked about the Marketing and Social Research Association (MSRA). This association has 11 members and out of those, only three are involved in opinion polls. This body view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a Bill touching on opinion polls. But when I look around, the number that is likely to pass this Bill--- This Parliament will be a laughing stock. You cannot pass such a serious matter with this number of legislators. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am raising that there is no quorum. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Again, we should be sure whether we have quorum in the House. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I admit that matters of drugs are very sensitive. Probably, the Government needs to engage the services of KenyaTelevision Network staff that produce the Jicho Pevu investigative programme in order for them to unravel the mysteries behind drug trafficking in this country. That is what we see in Jicho Pevu . Having said so, in the Attorney-General’s answer, we have seen a number of telephone numbers that have been listed. The answer then goes ahead to say that you cannot get those suspects because the telephone numbers were not registered. I thought that the investigative ... view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will just highlight one issue because the others will be debating the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill. First of all, let me thank the Attorney-General for taking the step that he has taken. I must admit that I am one of the people who have consulted with the Attorney- General and he has put across exactly what he told me, that he would like to withdraw those sections that are considered by a good number of us as being unconstitutional. However, there is one provision in this Bill that I thought would also be ... view
• 24 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am worried with the programme that the Minister has just read. It has excluded the one Motion touching on extension of time for the two Bills; The County Governments Bill and The Public Finance Management Bill. Remember, for The County Governments Bill, we adjourned the time which was February this year and even The Public Finance Management Bill, there is an element that we have passed time. So, I am even wondering why Kenyans have not gone to court to have this Parliament dissolved because--- view
