• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sure you must have heard the Assistant Minister say that this Question would be better addressed by the Minister of State for Public Service. Based on what he has just said, I am also convinced that the Ministry may not answer this Question. Therefore, would it be in order if I ask that this Question be referred to the Minister of State for Public Service so that I can get a comprehensive answer? view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, actually my concern is that from the Assistant Minister’s answer, it is quite evident that the Assistant Minister is not comfortable answering this Question. He has actually stated that this Question could be well addressed by the Minister of State for Public Service. Therefore, since it is that Ministry which appointed the task force which carried out the survey and found out that my district is classified as a hardship area, would I be in order if I ask that this Question, therefore, be referred to that Ministry with a set timeline when the Ministry will answer ... view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that direction. But this issue has been outstanding for over one year. I would just request the Chair that, if possible, because they are seized of this information, if they could be given up to next week to answer this Question so that they can remove the anxiety of teachers and other civil servants in my constituency. They are anxious as to when the Government will honour the promise. Actually, this thing--- view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Further to what has just been raised by Ms. Karua and Mr. Imanyara, I remember that, last week, sanctions were imposed on the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance by the Chair for failing to bring a Ministerial Statement to this House. So, I really do not know but the Chair needs to take a further step now on this Minister because he has failed to answer Questions and issue Ministerial Statements in the House. He has resulted in addressing the House through letters. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am at a loss! Maybe, we need to name the Minister because last time, he was sanctioned--- view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he was not to transact any business in the House until he issues that Ministerial Statement. So, he cannot even answer this Question. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just as hon. Khalwale said, this matter is really serious – giving police officers two days or so to move. Could the Assistant Minister commit himself to this House that, truly, these houses in question are temporary, and that if the facts are found to be in the contrary, he will take responsibility? view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure how many issues I could raise with the Minister. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could you allow me three? I will be very quick. First of all, I am sure the Minister is aware that the money market is a very volatile market. Therefore, sending mixed signals is disastrous. Why did the Governor of the Central Bank give conflicting reaction to the depreciating shilling first, by saying that the Government or the Central Bank would do nothing and later, sending even a more dangerous signal by informing the public that there are five banks which are involved in the hoarding of Dollars? Secondly, among some of the measures that the Minister ... view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Finally, could the Minister confirm to us whether it is really true that there are five banks which are involved in hoarding of the Dollar or foreign currencies? If so, which are these banks? He probably needs to go ahead and confirm to us whether Stanbic is one of them and who are the forces behind or the key people behind this kind of hoarding? view
