8 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Finally, I am aware that the Budget Committee had actually asked the Budget Office to prepare a letter requesting the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) for their recommendations on how the revenue should be shared. I think this is basically a routine management that your office should order that, that letter is released, so that we can be officially seized of this matter before this House so that it is transacted and Kenyans know how revenue will be allocated to various counties.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, you heard Dr. Khalwale say “there are some thieves”. I think it is very important that the integrity of Kenyans is also protected especially where we have not proved that someone has stolen. Who are these thieves that Dr. Khalwale has referred to? Could he confirm how much they have stolen? Further, this matter is actually before the Departmental Committee on Health and what Dr. Khalwale is relying on is what all of us have been reading in the media about the Committee. Could we allow the Committee to carry ...

8 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this matter is before a Committee as Mrs. Shebesh has said. I think this House’s time should be utilized properly. Actually, the Chair had already ruled. There was a Ministerial Statement that I had sought on a matter that was before the Public Accounts Committee chaired by Dr. Khalwale and the Speaker made a very clear ruling that if the matter is before the Committee, we have to wait for the Committee to complete its task. I am yet to understand how this can be different. Could Dr. Khalwale tell us who are these thieves and ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the Communication from the Chair. But I just want to ask the Chair to find that in the spirit of the new Constitution, the Appropriations Bill should be prepared by the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya and not the Executive arm of the Government. I would like to bring the attention of the Chair to the provision of Article 221. It says the Parliamentary Budget Office, once the Estimates have been approved by Parliament, should prepare an Appropriations Bill. If you look at the Constitution, the Executive or ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is interesting to hear the Minister talk about security and say the doctors had to be moved because the judges, probably required more security. Which was the priority to the people of Machakos in terms of their lives between doctors serving them in the hospitals and the judges passing judgment for them to go to prison?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to mislead this House that the priority of the people of Machakos is secondary to the priority of the Government providing security to the judges? The Constitution is very clear that sovereignty lies with the people. So, the sovereignty is with the people of Machakos, who have put the Government in place. Is it in order for him to mislead Parliament that the priority of Government can supersede that of the residents of Machakos?
