• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- By deleting the full stop at the end and inserting the following words:- “subject to deletion of all the words after the word “consideration” under the column issues relating to “constituency Mbita” and delete all the words under the column recommendation relating to the “Constituency Mbita” on page 39 of the Report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to give a brief explanation of what I intend to achieve. When the Ligale Commission went to Mbita to listen to the residents of both Gwassi and Mbita ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I remember sometime in 2008, the REA wrote to hon. Members of Parliament and they listed the projects based on their own fact finding namely markets, secondary schools and water points. They asked us to confirm that that priority is what we would like to be followed. They asked us to confirm that, that priority is what we would want to be followed; assuming that the Member of Parliament (MP) did not rearrange--- In the event that that rearrangement was not done and they were supposed to follow their earlier prepared list, what happened to the ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, mine is a follow up of a Statement that I had asked previously. Sometime last year, about ten months ago, I sought for a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Finance relating to the revenue accounts. To date, this Statement has not been forthcoming. The Speaker promised to make a ruling and that ruling has not yet been made. I am worried because it is in relation to collection of revenue in this country, yet the Government continues to collect revenue and we are not even aware of how much is collected. Since we are going ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do appreciate and understand the frustrations of the Minister because he is working with people who have been in that system for too long and cannot change. I just want to know the following: Given that there has been an acknowledgment even from the Minister himself that a lot of things are going wrong in the Ministry of Lands, has he considered a radical surgery in that Ministry by replacing the staff who are involved in that exercise and getting new people? It has happened in other institutions. It is high time that the problem ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the question here is whether to debate the Report as was presented to us on 22nd February, 2012 or to accept--- view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would urge the Chair, because of the sensitive nature of the Motion just before us, to reject the corrigendum and allow us to debate the Report as we have read it. If we agree with it, we will pass it. If we do not, we will reject it or pass it with amendments. But ambushing us here with a corrigendum whose content we do not know, it is not going to be fair to the people of Kenya. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to plead with the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, it was moribund for about one year and we had peace. Now that it has resurrected, it should not create a crisis. Otherwise, we would wish that since the Committee was dead, we should have buried it. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Even though the matter is urgent, procedure is procedure. I want to add my voice to what Mr. Mungatana said. We need not allow an illegality to happen in the House contrary to our Standing Orders. If the Motion has not been moved, we cannot allow the Vice-Chairman to purport to amend a Motion that has not been moved. I would urge the Committee to allow the Vice-Chairman to move the Motion after which someone else can move the amendment through the corrigenda. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with the programme of next week. Even though this has been discussed elsewhere, I think this country needs to be told when or around what time The Finance Bill will be brought to this House so that it is debated. I think it is likely to cause panic because when the Minister for Finance was reading this year’s Budget, he did indicate that there were proposals in The Finance Bill that would affect the economy. Our failure to pass the Finance Bill will disorganize the entire economy. So, this ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with the Deputy Leader of Government Business that, truly, we came basically to discuss the constitutional implementation Bills. However, it should also be recognized and appreciated by the Government that the Finance Bill has a deadline of 31st December, which has already passed. So, any tax collection at this time – if the Government still bases it on the proposed Finance Bill – from January 1st to date - is illegal. We would like to get an indication from the Government on how they will fund the shortfalls if ... view
