• 20 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is important for us as House to understand what the Committee was working on. The responsibility of collection of taxes is given to a body by a section of the law. Once the tax becomes a legal issue and it goes to court, and the court gives an order, the only person with capacity to ensure the collection of that tax is definitely a person who heads the legal department. I want to remind this House that I am an accountant and I can work with KRA and can collect tax. However, when ... view

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to condemn the incident which happened in Rongo which all of us agree painted a very bad picture of us as a county and to the people from that region. The clarification I would like to get from the Assistant Minister is that if a politician is planning to carry out political activity in an area like opening party offices and another politician is planning to disrupt it, we should be having state machinery through intelligence to know well in advance that there is likely to be violence. What is the ... view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Leader of Government business has indicated and actually it appears on the Order Paper that we are likely to proceed on Recess, if this House approves. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: He did commend the House because of the fact that we have managed to meet the deadlines for Constitutional Bills. It is also obvious from the Constitution that there are some legislations on the land chapter, that is Article 68, Devolved Government, the whole of Chapter 11, and also the removal of County Governor, those legislations have 18 months the deadline which is supposed to be 27th of February, 2012.

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had sought a Ministerial Statement from the Attorney-General which he promised to give I in think two weeks ago. Last Tuesday I reminded him, but he was not in the House. Hon. Ojode promised to relay the information and it was promised that the Statement will be made today. That Statement was with regard to the budgeting process and we are just in another circle. I can see the Attorney-General is seated in the House today and is attentive. Could he supply my Statement? view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My point of order is with regard to your first Communication on the withdrawal of the Finance Bill. I have two issues to raise on that. The first one is that we need to pass this Bill by 31st of this month. Assuming that the Adjournment Motion succeeds then obviously, we will not need the legal requirement of passing the Finance Bill. However, my second fundamental issue is with regard to the Executive’s interference with the functions of Parliament. I have with me a letter--- view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this letter is from the Office of the President, Permanent Secretary, Secretary to the Cabinet and Head of Public Service. It is copied to the Attorney-General, the Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Prime Minister; the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs and also to the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. It is also copied to all Ministers and Assistant Ministers. I just want to highlight one paragraph which I find offensive to this House. It says:- “The Cabinet noted the intentions of some ... view
