4 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Executive has a responsibility to play in the drafting of the Bill. So, let me conclude my submission by saying that this is not something to support. In fact, I do not know why we cannot wait for six days so that we do not make another mistake. You are already accusing Parliament of making mistakes and that is why we are telling the Minister that we need more time to look at this Bill. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country is even very much aware of sub-standard helicopters bought from China. That is corruption. This is not something to ask for substantiation. Minister, you know we have had many cases of corruption leave alone the ones that are being investigated now. You do not need to ask for substantiation.

3 May 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I agree that we are discussing a very important report, namely; the Budget Policy Statement, but we started debating it last week. We have other very important pieces of legislation. For example, we have not finished with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. If we allow the 220 Members to debate the Budget Policy Statement, we will never finish and we will be taking too much time. Could you put the question, so that we can vote whether the Mover should be called upon to ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am rising on a point of order on the basis of this Question. Given the current accusations and allegations about the Members of Parliament asking particular Questions and contributing to particular Motions, it is important that if one identifies an issue that needs to be raised, then we get it cleared before we move ahead. The Minister for Water and Irrigation who is supposed to answer this Question is the Member of Parliament for Kitui Central, which is one of the constituencies listed here. I would love to hear if she ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am referring to the Standing Order No.43(9), which even leads us to the fact that if this issue relates to the Ministerâs constituency, we can discuss her conduct on the basis of the Question.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister say that he has talked to the Member for Parliament to decide on a place of his choice where he would place that particular station. This is a security matter. The hon. Member, probably, is not a security expert. Does it mean that the Government does not have a security system that can decide on the best location? Is it in order for him to shift

Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that the Assistant Minister has said that each division is manned by, at least, an AP, could he confirm to us that he is going to make sure that there are APs in all the divisions in this country?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the Ministerâs answer about the completed projects, which amount to Kshs100.5 million, I can see a figure of Kshs10.9 million, which is 10 per cent of the total sum, indicated as HQ. I would imagine that this is Headquarters. Could she tell us exactly what those projects, which were completed at the Headquarters with 10 per cent of the total amount, are?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to appreciate the effort that the Minister is making to resettle the IDPs. I would also like to acknowledge the fact that we need to have our brothers and sisters settled. The question that keeps on coming is: Before December, 2007, these IDPs were living somewhere. Where is the land on which they were living? Can they be taken back there? If not, can the Government repossess that land, because it belongs to these individuals, and sell it? Can the Government think of getting hold of the land on which these particular individuals ...
