• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even as the Government goes ahead with plans to put in place enough measures to ensure that Mau forest is completely reclaimed, currently, the issue at hand is to protect the destruction of the forest. I am informed that there is a joint enforcement unit for the same, yet the same unit is facing serious challenges one of them being lack of capacity to fight loggers and those burning charcoal. What immediate plans is the Government putting in place to ensure this unit is strengthened and has the necessary equipment such as vehicles? What are they ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister will agree with us that the confusion that came as a result of this appointment is occasioned by the problem in the Board or the Council. I would like to know what the Minister is likely to do with this Council which does not function harmoniously. Secondly, I would also like the Minister to confirm or deny that one of the members of the Council was related to one of the three candidates who were submitted for appointment and that this member of the Council was in the ad hoc committee and that he ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Finally, in the appointment of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of State corporations, is it possible that the Minister has certain internal rules about the appointment which the candidates are not even supposed to know, for example, the salary levels? It is a common practice that--- view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to remind my colleague that a Committee of the House can never be superior to this House. He is investigating on behalf of this House and he cannot muzzle my contribution in this House because a Committee is doing an investigation. If there is any Standing Order that bars me from making such a comment he should have mentioned it. I also want to remind the hon. Member that this is not a court of law. I have asked my question and let the Minister answer it. If the Minister feels ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me conclude my comment. The general human resource management practice is that there are certain set rules that any recruiting agency has in place which may not even be made public to the people who are being interviewed. That is why I wanted to find out from the Minister if they also have such rules. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister even to confirm to this House that they have violated the requirement of the Constitution? Out of 1,800 a third is 600. Mr. Assistant Minister, why have you violated the requirement of the Constitution? view

• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This House is entitled to statements of facts. The Assistant Minister has said that it is the opinion of the doctors. Could he give evidence or the basis upon which the doctors arrived at that opinion and lay it on the Table? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you realize that my colleague has stood on a point of order which is very serious because it borders on improper conduct by the Minister. Looking at the Question critically, it requests the Minister to table a list of the number of vehicles belonging to returning Kenyan residents. Based on this Question, I think the Minister is not disorderly. However, if there is a question that requires the Minister to supply the information of all the vehicles which should be exempted then the Minister should be given a clear Question. We need to be fair to the ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Chair will realize that this issue has been with us for a very long time. The last time when this Question came up, there were other issues which we raised, including the issue of the Board going ahead to put up an advertisement that was tailored towards a specific individual. Beyond that, there is even a report from the Prime Minister’s Office through the Inspectorate of State Corporations, which has indicted the current acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the KBC. view
