On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On 21st April, 2011, I did seek Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and there was a ruling which was supposed to come from the Chair. I am worried that we are soon debating Financial Estimates for 2011/2012 where we will be required to approve taxation on Kenyan people.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to support quickly by answering Dr. Khalwale. Actually, we have a preliminary Report which I think will be tabled either tomorrow or on Tuesday, depending on the Chair.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we allow the Motion as it is, we will debate on all the other documents, even without the Minister moving it. We need to amend to this Motion, so that we only restrict ourselves to debate on financial statement as will be presented by the Minister.

2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to insist that the Government can only act if it receives requests and yet, it has Education Officers on the ground?

2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I am seeking clarification on from the Assistant Minister is that instead of seeking to waive the diplomatic immunity, knowing very well that the crime was committed in Nigeria, because the embassy is actually a Nigerian territory, why could he not refer this matter permanently to Nigeria, so that they deal with own problems?
