• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: My reason for proposing this amendment is that if you will recall, in 2010/2011, this House allocated Kshs9.7 billion to the NSIS. Later in the Supplementary Budget, we gave additional Kshs900 million to the same agency. If you add that, it amounts to Kshs10.5 billion. In this financial year, this has been enhanced by over Kshs2.7 billion. We sought an explanation as to why this was necessary. The Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations told us that they also had a problem because the NSIS Budget is not itemized. Therefore, in their recommendation, which is in this report as ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for Mr. Muthama to insinuate that I am disagreeing with the Report yet it is very clear I dissented to that specific aspect and he was present in that meeting? The Chairman even instructed the Committee clerk to minute this dissent. view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Given the interest that this matter has generated, would I be in order to ask that we extend the sitting time to complete Order No.8? view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You will realize that all Members of Parliament are not scientists. I remember the Ministerial Statement that hon. Eng. Gumbo sought was so direct and specific. I would ask that you rule that the Minister goes directly to addressing the issues that hon. Eng. Gumbo had sought, for example; are we importing GMO? Are we going to eat GMO food? view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to clarify whether in the unlikely event that the Government decides that GMO foods will be imported into this country--- I hear that if that happens, it will be strictly for milling. What steps is the Government going to take to make sure that in the unlikely event that this maize comes to this country, it will not be allowed to affect our agriculture in the long run? view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember last time when this issue came up, you gave a very direct instruction and directive that this matter needs to be addressed quickly, because it is of national concern. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Madam Minister is asking for more time to go and consult. How much time is she asking for? Suppose those GMOs are imported tomorrow; what are we going to do as a country? view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one would have imagined that if the input of the Minister was required on this particular Bill that consultations would have been carried out between the Minister and the House Business Committee (HBC). That this Bill has found its way back in the House courtesy of the HBC, I wonder whether the HBC appreciates that very soon we are going to embark on Bills that are supposed to help us implement the Constitution and, therefore, we may not have time for other Bills. So, I would urge that the amendments to this Bill be debated today. I ... view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that around 21st of April 2011, I had sought a Ministerial Statement from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance regarding certain mistakes in the revenue accounts of the Government of Kenya. The Ministry contested that the issue was before a Committee of the House. You did promise to make a ruling. I am requesting that the ruling be made because we are proceeding to approve Government Estimates again. If that issue is not clarified, it may be difficult for this House to be sure that whatever we are approving ... view
