• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill makes the approval hearing open and transparent, unless there is a clear reason provided in law as to why that cannot be done. So, we will not be asking the relevant Committees of the House to allow for public participation. We will not ask them to open it to public. It is now going to be a legal requirement. It is going to be embedded in the Statutes that wherever you are required to do approval hearings, you must do it in the open. Kenyans must see it and it must be transparent. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am also happy with the way this Bill has covered the particular areas like what issues the relevant Committee of the House that is going to carry out approval hearings is supposed to look into. Are you going to ask any other question? No! You are supposed to confine yourself to academic qualifications and credentials, professional training and experience of that particular nominee and personal integrity and background. This is in line with Chapter Six of the Constitution. On leadership and integrity, you must demonstrate that your integrity is beyond reproach. You must demonstrate that ... view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really want to accommodate the Minister but he has gone on and on until I now feel I should raise this point of order. Is it in order for him to imply that once members of the public have elected their representatives, those members of the public have no direct say on matters affecting them? The Constitution is very clear. It says that sovereign authority belongs to the people of Kenya, and that they can exercise it either directly or through their elected representatives. So, the people can exercise ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Member to insinuate that the Talai were rejected in Gwassi yet they were brought there in 1934? We welcomed them and they lived with us until when there was population explosion, when we asked them kindly to go back to where they had come from. They had been brought there to die. There were a lot of tsetse flies in Gwassi, and they were brought there to die. We welcomed them and gave them land until when they felt they wanted to go back because ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need to clarify the history a bit just in one minute. The colonial Government brought the Talai Community to Lambwe Valley in Gwassi Constituency to die because there was a lot of tse tse fly. These people were warriors. So, we accommodated them with our tse tse fly and they did not die. Then later on after the colonial Government became a bit friendly to them, they decided to come back to Kericho. We did not chase them. That fact needs to be put correctly. view

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the face of it, the answer sounds very nice. However, I want the Assistant Minister to tell this House between October 2010 and January 2011, how many positions were filled, what the total membership of the CBK is. He should also tell us between January and April, how many of those positions were filled. I am aware these positions were filled in April this year. How many were filled before April? view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want the Assistant Minister to answer this specific question. From January to April, how many board members were in service and if there were vacancies, how could the CBK operate for about four months without a full operating board? view
