• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: The Assistant Minister said that the Government cannot negotiate salary with doctors, because that is the responsibility of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. I want to read for the Assistant Minister, Article 234, which sets out the powers and functions of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. It says:- view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: “Shall be to set and review the remuneration and benefits of all State Officers”. I want to tell the Assistant Minister that according to the definition of state officers, doctors who are on strike do not fall in that category. It is only to advise the national and county government on the remuneration, and benefits of all other public officers. “Advice” is not mandatory. So, he cannot still go ahead and negotiate.

• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are so many cases of this nature happening in the country. In the light that we have a new Constitution which has put a lot of responsibility on the part of security officers, could the Assistant Minister tell us, even as we wait for the comprehensive police reforms, what he is doing, at the moment, to educate police officers to realize that we are in a new constitutional dispensation where they have to respect the citizens of this country? view

Is there any benefit that this country is receiving from the north, maybe from oil that you would like to tell us? We want to be sure and probably share with you this ... view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House that hon. Bashir, I mean Mr. Bashir - whether he is honourable or not, I do not know - should keep away from our country yet the same Government has sent a Minister to go and assure him and even invite him to come to our country to prove that he cannot be arrested? Is that contradiction deliberate or you are trying to mislead the House? view

• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has told us that the Government is intending to invest in 40 per cent equity interest in the venture; that is, De La Rue Kenya Currency and Print Security Limited. I am aware it will only print currency for this country alone. All the countries in the region which used to have their currency printed here by this company, have already discontinued and have already engaged other ventures. So, could he table before this Parliament the feasibility study carried out by the Government of Kenya to determine viability of this venture? Could he ... view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Minister attempts to provide the documents to the PAC, I would request that he considers also making available the feasibility study, which I asked for. view
