• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to ask those who are doubting the effective date of the new Constitution that ten years from today, if you ask: “When was the effective date of the Constitution of Kenya?” It will be 27th August 2010. So, there is no doubt about the effective date. What is the 27th? So, 27th August starts from midnight of Thursday and ends of midnight of Friday. So, beyond midnight of Friday we are passed 27th August, which is the effective date of this Constitution and there should be no doubt about that. It is plain English and ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the amendment but also want to move an amendment to the amendment by substituting or deleting the word 5.00 p.m., and replacing it with 3.00 p.m. I think the point of swearing in Members of Parliament tomorrow has been talked about and has been addressed adequately, I think we are now not in doubt on which is the effective date of the new Constitution. The main reason why I am amending the time is as hon. Ms. Karua put it, to take care of the interests of our Muslim brothers and sisters. ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did just one amendment. Thank you. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, it is a further amendment of the amendment and I ask Dr. Nuh to second. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really do not want to challenge the comments by the Chair but I think yesterday there was a Ministerial Statement which was delivered here, which had been sought by Mr. Olago. I think the precedent has been that when it comes to Ministerial Statements the person who raises it does not have to be in the House for the Ministerial Statement to be delivered, for it is the property of the House. So, I think even if Dr. Khalwale had sought this Statement, it is still in order for the ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us that they are trying to work to correct the situation. However he looks at this list, he will realize that the province where he comes from is the most hit. What concrete steps is he going to take to ensure equity, so that all regions have a balance in staffing? view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem that we have had in this country is the double standards in treating the citizens of this country. That is why Kenyans decided to vote for a new Constitution to put a stop to that. You have just heard from the Attorney- General that the earlier cases of Mr. Kapondi, Mr. Kutuny and Dr. Machage were taken to court without involving his office. Is the Attorney-General, therefore, telling us that these particular individuals were taken to court unprocedurally? If so, then the Government should apologize to them and even compensate them for the unnecessary frustration ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would have wished that the Minister takes this matter seriously because--- view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister needs to be more proactive and tell us, as a country, what she is going to do to come up with policies that are going to encourage that noble cause and not evade the questions by saying: “If”. She does not see the need! I am shocked that the Minister, whom I thought could see the need before all of us, is not seeing the need. So, could she tell us exactly what she is going to do to encourage that noble cause? view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all let me also express my sympathies with our neighbour Uganda for the kind of loss that we witnessed. I am sure as a country, we condemn these terrorist acts. I have two issues to raise; first, the Minister needs to tell us in concrete terms what the international community is doing in order to bring stability in Somalia. Without this, the entire region is at risk. It is an international crisis. Secondly, there is something close to what Mr. Maalim has just talked about; a clarification with regard to protecting our borders. ... view
