• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week, you ruled that today you will make a ruling with regard to a Statement which I had sought from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. This Statement needs to be disposed of. I was just wondering what the Chair has to say given the fact that today is Thursday. I was reminding the Chair that, that ruling was due today. view

• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the same note, I do appreciate Standing Order No.36(2) which says that business shall be disposed of in the sequence in which it appears in the Order Paper or in such other sequence--- view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: I am citing Standing Order No.36(2). It says:- “Business shall be disposed of in the sequence in which it appears in the Order Paper or in such other sequence as the Speaker may, for the convenience of the House, direct.” I want to draw your attention to the words “may for the convenience.” The Standing Orders have given the Speaker that power to dispose of the Order differently, but only for the convenience of the House. That convenience of the House can only be determined by asking this House if we accept that the way you want us to dispose ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Even though the Government has over relied on infrastructural development as the only driving force for direct foreign investment, it is important that the Government recognizes and realizes that there are other factors that contribute to high cost of doing business in Kenya. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Apart from making sweeping statements, could the Government and the Assistant Minister tell us how they intend to address these three issues which are contributing to high cost of doing business? First, what are the tax measures that he has put in place? Could he quantify the effects of the tax measures in attracting direct foreign investments and the bank interest rates? Banks have become like shylocks. They are making the cost of doing business in Kenya very high. What is the Ministry doing to rein in these banks, which I would call rogue ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You know the main reason why the Government created this Ministry was to regulate labour environment and to help workers. But it appears that the Ministry is protecting the interests of what Kiswahili calls mabwanyenye . Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to avoid answering a direct question and instead, going into generalities of what is there? Why can he not find it fit just to answer the question asked by hon. K. Kilonzo? view

• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very evident that the Assistant Minister is not prepared to answer this question. The question is very clear. It is asking whether there is a social health policy. In his answer, he has said that he is not sure. He has then gone ahead to make assumption that because that is an established chain of restaurants, they should be having it. He has been having this Question for a very long time. This is an ordinary Question. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take time and oppose this Motion by my friend Mr. Jamleck Kamau. If you look at the intention of this Motion, it is suspect. The intention of this Motion takes us back many steps from where we started. The argument that is advanced by Mr. Jamleck Kamau about the opinion polls influencing decisions, or reactions, after general elections cannot be true. We have to be honest and candid with each other. The opinion polls that have been carried out in this country--- Those of us who have been keen from 2002, ... view
