• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Information and Communications the following Question by Private Notice. I am asking this Question for the second time. (a) Is the Minister aware that the Board of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) proceeded with the recruitment of a new Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation in spite of a resolution of the House to refer the matter to a Committee for consideration? (b) Could the Minister give an undertaking to annul the exercise until the investigation on the competence of the Board is resolved? view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that would be the right way to go, although I have an answer here which does not necessarily say the same thing as the Assistant Minister is saying. So, could he confirm whether this answer is still valid or I trash it as we await the report of the Committee? view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to help the House because the issue which was raised by Mr. C. Kilonzo was with regard to the competence of the board. But in the process, I raised an issue on a supplementary question on the capability to go ahead view

• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, starting with the case of the appointment of the MD of Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), I would like to get a clarification from the Minister whether recruitment to that position was done competitively. Was there an advertisement? If you look at my request for a Ministerial Statement, I had asked the Minister to provide proof that there was an advertisement for the position, interviews were conducted and that it was done competitively. Could the Minister confirm whether the procedure was followed? There is a procedure for recruiting CEOs to State Corporations. The other issue regards Kenya Airports ... view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House that it is only the Constitution that talks about over-representation of some ethnic communities in public service? The National Cohesion and Integration Act clearly spells that out. This Act has been in force even before the Constitution. Why is the Minister trying to use the Constitution, having come into effect on 27th August, as an excuse? Is he in order to ignore other laws that have been in place, and which do not allow members of one ethnic community to be over-represented in ... view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House that if you put up an advertisement then you would discriminate against the members who are already working in an organization, while he knows very clearly that if you put up an advertisement even those who are working with KPA could still go ahead and apply? view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am concerned because the Minister seems to be ignoring this question. The question is about the rescue boat! The patrol boats are supposed to do other things; to look for pirates and whoever is bringing insecurity to the lake. So, can you assure this House that there is going to be a boat that is saving the lives of people in that lake and not the patrol boats? When will you do that? view
