• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just to add to what my colleagues have talked about, normally, if the House Business Committee has decided to change the Order of the day, we get a Supplementary Order Paper. Unfortunately, both Order Papers have nothing to indicate that one is a Supplementary Order Paper. Therefore, this is a total confusion to all of us and we even do not know which Order Paper to use. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to inform hon. Ruto that Standing Order No.1 is only applicable where matters are not expressly stated or provided for. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: It is expressly stated. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The argument by the Minister sounds really convincing but I want just to remind the Chair that the Chair cannot review its own decision. That should be left for this House. I want also to point out that hon. Wetangula said that he needs time to talk to the Members. If he is going to talk to the Members before the Motion is moved, that, to me, amounts--- view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I am on a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Talking to Members before the Motion is moved would amount to anticipating debate and I wish the Minister could withdraw that--- view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister started very well but he became a little bit more casual as he approached the end of his answer by saying that so far it is presumed that the officer is alive and that efforts to trace him will continue. I find that to be casual. However, he has repeatedly talked about data from Safaricom. He has said that once they get the data, they will determine who the officer called last. It is now two months since the officer disappeared. Can it take two months to get data from Safaricom to determine ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to try to change my question? I did not ask him to share with us the information. I was just wondering from what he said why it is taking two months to get the data from Safaricom in order to determine the last person he called. He could have just told us that they have got the data and already gotten leads towards who he called last, instead of telling us he has not. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even though I also come from an area which has very bad roads, I think most of us who have been to western Kenya think the case is a crisis and affirmative action needs to be taken. I would specifically ask the Minister if he has a plan in the next financial year to set aside some funds to work on the roads in western Kenya. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill although I will propose some amendments to certain clauses that I feel a bit uncomfortable with when we reach the Committee Stage. Kenyans have been waiting for the time when this Parliament would start putting flesh on the skeleton Constitution they passed, which was promulgated on 27th August, 2010. Many have spoken about the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee. At one point there was a hitch, and we were not able to agree on who the Chair would be, but I want to give assurance to Kenyans that there is ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: To me, this looks very wide and open-ended provision. We need to be very careful. We need to insulate this commission from interference from any quarter, or interference from future legislations. Chances are that if we leave it like this and then there comes another legislation which could go against the spirit of this particular Bill, the Commission will be required to go by that legislation. view
