• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: There are a number of legislations and this week, I stood on the Floor of this House and demanded to get the progress report from the Government on the various Bills that are supposed to be presented to this House so that we can debate them, pass them and get this country moving in a new direction that we want it to go. I am confident because I have been involved in various discussions on the status and progress of various Bills and I think we need to reassure Kenyans that the various Bills or pieces of legislation that need ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is important that this House considers very seriously allocating funds for civic education on what the Constitution we have today has. Many Kenyans are not even aware of the real contents of the Constitution. About the Bill of Rights, which is actually the cornerstone of this Constitution, it is because of it that Kenyans agitated for a new Constitution. Are we enjoying the Bill of Rights? Have Kenyans started enjoying the Bill or Rights? The Bill of Rights Chapter is not suspended. So, institutions of Government need to start to live the spirit of the ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: First of all, I want to correct Ms. Karua that I am not the Member of Parliament for Suba. I am the Member of Parliament for Gwassi. Suba is a tribe and I do not represent a tribe. Now, I want to encourage my colleague--- view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I am answering a point of order! First of all, I want to ask--- view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I have not responded. Hold your horses! First of all, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wanted to tell my sister, Ms. Martha Karua, that probably she came in a little late. I am repeating exactly what Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona said about why ladies did not apply for these positions. I am saying that is not the reason. We want ladies to apply because that is the way of defending them. I am encouraging them publicly in the national Parliament that, “Ladies, when positions are up for application, please, do apply. There is nothing diatribe about that. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: You know you do not fight for people just by appearing to pretend. This is the mistake that we make in this country. Do not think if you are a lady, you are the only one who can support ladies. I have said that if there are 12 applications and only two by women, that is not good. As a country, we are saying, “Ladies who quality, please, apply”. That is the only way! view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to complete my contribution by saying this, we have the CIC; it should be seen as a friend to the various stakeholders involved in the implementation process. If you read the functions of the CIC, they are to monitor, facilitate and oversee the development of legislation. Further, they are about coordination with the Attorney-General and the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC). They are also about reporting regularly. Therefore, this Commission has been given a major function in this country to regulate and supervise, so to speak, the implementation of the Constitution. Therefore, sometimes they ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the hon. Member for Rarieda Constituency to insinuate that we are not working hard to conclude and inform the councillors of their fate, while he is very much of aware being a Member of this House, that there is a taskforce that is almost concluding this work, and the report will be presented? view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Minister to try and give a negative view on what the National Integration and Cohesion Commission (NICC) did, while the Act of Parliament that set up that Commission, which he participated in passing, explicitly gives the mandate to review the appointments in the Civil Service and give us the information? So, the Commission completely did its work. That is what the Commission is supposed to do. Why is the Minister misleading the House and the country that what they did is wrong? view
