• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I certainly must withdraw that because that was a careless statement from a finance expert like hon. John Mbadi, MP for Gwassi. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me also take this opportunity to support the Bill as moved by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government and seconded by his colleague. One of the reasons why the Ligale Commission Report was contested strongly was by virtue of exercising or trying to fulfill the requirements of Article 89 of the Constitution with regard to delimitations of constituencies. One of the requirements was that there should be a different formula for declaring areas either as cities and rural areas. It was not very clear what constitutes a city. Since ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my concern is with the road bumps that are erected on the roads. Could the Minister tell us when he will make sure that, before bumps are erected on the roads, white clear signs are put, rather than just putting black tar on the road? Could the Government have uniform bumps so that some do not appear like mountains while others are flat? Could we have one type of bumps with clear white markings to show their location? When will that be done? view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for my neighbour and a very good friend, the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons, to lecture this House on his lack of sleep for two weeks, when he slept for one year? If he had not slept for one year, he would have slept for the two weeks. view

• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just starting by commenting on what my neighbour has just said. I think my neighbour should be aware that we passed a Procedural Motion which directed us that we have to finish the Second Reading on this Bill today; that is if this Procedural Motion goes through. In that case, the only time we have to debate this Motion is basically today. For that reason, those who are questioning the rush are perfectly in order. I even told him but he did not want to accept. Thank God he has a few days to leave. ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw although with a lot of difficulty. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me withdraw that and be a bit more general. The Executive owes this country an apology. Even as we approve this Procedural Motion, the Executive needs to own up. How come these Bills have all of a sudden found their way to Parliament within one or two days when we only have three days to go and yet we have been pleading with them to give us these Bills for one year. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only reason I support is because the Executive has messed us up but as I sat here I thought that Kenyans out there are questioning; What is wrong with the leaders? They are singling out the Executive. They include Parliamentarians like me. That is why I feel that we do not have to keep Kenyans waiting any longer, otherwise and the Executive knows, I would have opposed this Procedural Motion because the Executive is becoming rogue. They are pushing us to legislate. I am in the sub- committee that is looking at this Bill that we ... view
