17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Hon. Olago has raised a matter on this Standing Order. So, therefore, hon. Ruto is only quoting the first section of it. But the second section, which says, “or which it is required by these Standing Orders to consider”, this Committee of the whole House is required to consider Standing Order No.125, which hon. Olago quoted. So, this is perfectly in order.

17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Chairman, Sir, first of all, I would like to say that personally, I am persuaded by the reasoning of hon. Ababu Namwamba on Standing Order No.141 – that a Committee of the House is an extension of the House. Having said so, there was an amendment which was accepted yesterday. That amendment was moved by hon. Githae. I want to read the amendment from the HANSARD. Section 14(5) was stopping the idea of a person belonging to a political party, yet propagating and championing the interests of other political parties. Section 14(4) says as follows:- “14(5) A person who ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have always feared that this programme was brought to kill the fishing industry of my people. This has now been confirmed by the Minister. He even left my constituency out of the ESP. I have heard him say that the Ministry has supplied nets to these farmers. Why has he not supplied the same nets to fishermen in my constituency, instead of supplying them with nets to harvest this GMO fish?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as one who knows how fish grows, this fish which grows for one week can create suspicion; whether they are GMO or not. How do they just grow overnight and yet, there is a natural way of breeding them?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, why it is that the Minister is ready to supply nets to farmers to harvest fish under ESP and yet he has not supplied our fishermen with nets to harvest nutritious fish from Lake Victoria?

16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Question to the Assistant Minister was why the Budget allocation to REA was reduced. Is it in order for him to evade answering the Question by singling a particular allocation and leaving out others? If you listened to him very well, his second answer was a reduction, and that is exactly what the Member for Emuhaya was asking – why there has been a reduction of the total Budget allocation. He did not single out Government allocations. Is it, therefore, in order for the Assistant Minister to evade answering the Question ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question is asking about allocations from the financial year 2008/2009 to the Financial Year 2010/2011. As far as I am concerned, the Budget before us is that for Financial Year 2011/2012. So, if the Assistant Minister is comfortable to give the figure for the 2011/2012 Budget, which relates to part (c) of the Question, why can he not answer the part of the Question relating to Financial Year 2010/2011? Is it in order for him to continue evading the Question? The Question is very clear. It talks about Budget allocation. “Budget allocation” does not mean only ...
