28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Minister if you want to know that what I am saying is true, hon. Pesa’s uncle is Zedekea Ogunyo and he is being evicted. So, I just want to confirm with the Minister; how soon will this trip to Gwassi be so that we settle this matter, once and for all? Who are these people masquerading as leaders, so that I can also see them, because I thought I am the senior most leader in Gwassi?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Assistant Minister say that we discussed the Report in this House but we are yet to pass the Finance Bill? Is it in order for him to imply that we did not pass the Budget Committee Report in the House recommending that 28,000 teachers be taken on permanent basis? That is 18,000 teachers on contract and 10,000 new or fresh recruits.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would rather advise the Assistant Minister to start preparing to employ these teachers because there is money. Is it in order for him to purport that money has not been made available yet he is very conversant with the provisions of the new Constitution that the budget-making process is now the preserve of Parliament and that even Ministers will not be in the next Parliament? So, how will the Appropriation Bill be brought through the Budget Committee? So, if the Budget Committee has told you we are giving you money, that is final. You should ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Minister has just said that the nominated Members of Parliament cannot be in this committee. Could he cite the provisions of the law which prohibit nominated Members of Parliament from being members of this committee?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree entirely with hon. Shebesh that we need more women in this list, but I thought we had some conversation somewhere and it was agreed generally that hon. Karua is equal to about three men. Therefore, I can easily recommend her.

28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. We can appreciate we have taken into consideration the sentiments expressed by those who are challenging the gender representation. The sentiments that have also been aired by some of us are not that we do not want hon. ladies to be in this Committee. I think we need to be realistic and accept that we are gradually moving to a system where we will not even just have a third of representation, but probably 50 per cent or even more of lady representation. As Mr. Githae pointed out, and I ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was contributing because I heard you making a ruling. I think now I need to conclude. We need to debate. There are very serious issues to be discussed. We have the names of panelists to be vetted.

28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, actually I was just saying that I also understand that Mr. Oyongo Nyamweya seriously complained about his name being removed from a committee. We need to move forward. We have the Report of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee. We need to dispense of that. We have Bills coming next week; at least four of them. We need to dispense of those critical Bills. We have the Budget to discuss. We are not through with the Budget. This House has a lot of workload. Let us dispense of this business. Let us dispose of it and we ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas I do not support the removal of Mr. Manson Oyongo Nyamweya without consultation, the hon. Member referred to the Local Authority and Funds Accounts Committee as a departmental committee. As far as I am concerned, that is not a departmental committee.
