25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, based on what has just been carried here, I think it is important that we move a further amendment to this.

25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have reduced the number of Commissioners from our proposed five to two other Commissioners, excluding the Chairman. If we will give the appointing authority seven names to pick two, it will be watering down the whole essence of the interview. So, I would rather we reduce also the number to give to the appointing authority from seven to four. This is because the “seven” was envisaging that we would have a Commission of five. The further amendment is necessary to amend this and reduce the number to four.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think we need to be clear here. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission can co-operate with other bodies for prosecution. They can co-operate with the Director of Public Prosecutions. When the Director of Public Prosecutions is instituting prosecutions then they have to co-operate with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. So, I think this co-operation in my

Madam Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendment but I am just concerned because it will take some days for the Commission to be in place. In the interim period, how are we getting the staff from the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission

25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose this amendment. Let us be honest. When we felt that the electoral body misbehaved, we took them home. Let us accept that the reason we are transiting all staff and not the Director and Deputy Directors is because they have mismanaged. The moment this Bill is assented to, let these people go home. Whether you call it witch-hunt, I do not mind witch-hunting somebody who has failed to perform his duty and talks aimlessly. That person should go immediately the President assents to the Bill and the records will remain there. If he wants ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. In the light of how the Assistant Minister is trying to answer the question that you have put to him, it appears he is not very sure. I would support hon. Cheruiyot’s position. I think it is high time we started talking openly about these things. KenGen is receiving over Kshs800 million and it is KVDA which is doing maintenance of the dam and we know the ownership of KenGen. Even though the Government has ownership of it, it is also in private hands. There is a large percentage. Transcentury owns a ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, we have discussed this with the Assistant Minister. You will recall that this issue has been on for a long time. Actually by the time I came to Parliament in 2008, the survey had been done. I have been promised all this time. We have been on this issue together with the hon. Member for Nyatike. Last year, we were told that our districts have been classified as hardship areas. Teachers are supposed to be paid with effect from 1st July, 2010. So, I would only ask if he could make a commitment that after ...
