• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am alive to the fact that the Commission is not in existence. For any piece of legislation presented before this House, we need to be sure that it is the Attorney-General who has participated in its preparation. It would only be more acceptable to us if the Attorney-General presented the Bill before this House. I do not understand how we can confirm, when the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, who is not the Attorney-General, presents a Bill before this House, that the particular Bill has the blessings of the Attorney- General. So, I ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me this opportunity to just react to what the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs has said. Listening carefully to the Minister, he said that Section 18 of the former Constitution, which he went ahead to read, is saved by this Constitution. I do not see anywhere where Section 18 of the former Constitution is saved in the current Constitution. Actually, the sections that are saved by this Constitution are explicitly stated as extension of application of the provisions of the former Constitution. In fact, they are listed and they start ... view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question by Eng. Gumbo was: “What circumstances led to the investigation for abuse of office for the immediate former Postmaster-General, Mr. Fred Odhiambo?” I expected the Assistant Minister to clearly tell us why Mr. Fred Odhiambo was relieved of his duty. Is it because of misuse of the corporation’s vehicles or something else? What is this something else? Could he categorically tell this House why Mr. Fred Odhiambo is today not the Postmaster- General? view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to refer only to the IDPs in camps, when the Question was encompassing all the IDPs, including the integrated IDPs because that is her responsibility? view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given that Cabinet positions are actually public positions, I think it is the right of Kenyans to know where Ministers are, especially when they are called to duty in this House. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Minister is busy making a lot of statements outside, statements that he should be making on the Floor of this House. Is it not in order for this House to get explanation from the Leader of Government business, where this Minister is, when he is very visible outside making statements, which he should be making on the Floor of the House? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue raised by hon. Nderitu is weighty and in your ruling, I would like to request you to consider that what the Standing Order No. 159 says is that:- “The House Business Committee shall, in consultation with parliamentary parties”. It does not expressly state what this party organ is; is it parliamentary group or party leadership? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: So, as you make your ruling, I want to request you to consider that consultation with political parties does not mean the same thing as consultation with parliamentary group. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the steps to be taken by the two Ministries. But Mr. Kiunjuri has made some allegations which will hurt the economy of my place. He alleged that the fish we eat here could be dangerous. I would like to inform him that not all fish comes from Lake Naivasha. His allegation may affect the economy of my constituency which relies heavily on fish. So, could he withdraw that allegation? view
