• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is correct. He has talked about rains in mid-February, when we were crying that this country was dry. Could I get to understand where it rained in mid-February? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is grossly disorderly for a Minister to refuse to answer a Question. What constitutes refusal to answer a Question? When a Question directed to your Ministry is asked and you are not in the House; then immediately after it is concluded, you walk in, if you do not give an explanation on where you were, in my understanding and interpretation, that is refusal to answer a Question. So, could the two Ministers who have just walked in explain to this House why they were not here when the Questions directed ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to find out the from the Prime Minister, given that Kenya factors in quite a bit of revenue coming from customs duties; with the move to the integration of the East African Community, we are likely to lose the revenue from custom duties. What is the Government doing to ensure that we lower interest on custom duties? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister answered the question raised by hon. Kombo on the weakening of the Kenya Shilling. But I expected him to tell us what the Central Bank of Kenya says is causing this trend. Without that, the CBK cannot address this issue. Could he go a step further to explain to this country, why the Kenyan Shilling is weakening, and whether it is linked to what is happening in the Arab World, that Kenyans are bringing money that had been stashed out there back to the country and causing this scenario to develop? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am very much aware that this ruling was made earlier - actually sometime last year - on the rights of the hon. Member for Kuria to participate in the proceedings of this House. Could we have a time- line, because it is a bit unfair--- view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate the many words that the Minister is trying to put across to justify the inaction on the part of the Government to issue identity cards to deserving Kenyans, the Minister should have realized that we are approaching elections which will be illegitimate if deserving Kenyans are not registered because that is a constitutional requirement. Is it in order for the Minister to give us the details, and yet we are interested in knowing exactly when Kenyans will get their identity cards? We do not want to know what ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: So, we want to help this Minister by referring this matter to the relevant Departmental Committee so that it can deal with it expeditiously within two weeks so that we can--- view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also support this Motion of adjournment. view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: First of all, I would like to start by echoing what my other colleagues have said about our statements as leaders. When you are put in a position of leadership in this country, you are required to weigh what you say in public. What you say goes a long way in either reconciling the public or polarizing them. When I hear our colleagues talk, I realize that they have forgotten what we have gone through. People are talking of leaving the coalition. Others are saying: “Break the coalition”. Others are saying: “Yes, go ahead and break it because we are ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that a workshop has just come up with a draft Bill on the electoral management body. It is my wish that when we come back, and before the end of April, we shall have an electoral management body in this country. This is a negotiated document. We sat down as both sides of the coalition. We sat down with the various stakeholders, and we have at least agreed on the skeleton. Just the way we did with the vetting of Judges and Magistrates Bill--- The same way we did with the Judicial Service ... view
