• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for a Member of Parliament to take advantage of the privilege of the House to impute improper motives on a senior Member of the Government of the Republic of Kenya without a substantive Motion? view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, allow me also to support the Motion that is brought before the House by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. Before I go into the specific proposals that he wants us to approve, I want to also say that it is true, as others have said before, that the Budget was prepared at a time that the economy is on the path to recovery. What we now need is, therefore, for the Government to embark on measures which would ensure sustainability and later accelerate economic growth in line with Vision 2030. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: It is important to state that when analyzing this year’s Budget, one needs to look at the two sides; the expenditure and the revenue. I think today what he has put before us is for us to look into the various proposals that would affect the Government’s attempt to raise revenue and taxes. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, to be fair to the Minister, I think this year’s Budget is a more progressive one, compared to last year’s Budget. I say this because last year’s Budget was more of a political Budget as opposed to a Budget that was meant to spur serious economic growth.

• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me just build my point of order. Since this matter is weighty, I would request the Minister to bring this Statement to the House next week with definite results of the investigation, otherwise, the answers we will receive here are academic. view

• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to raise an issue on procedure. I do agree that this matter is weighty and probably it requires more ventilation. However, I thought that when the Prime Minister, hopefully, brings his Statement tomorrow afternoon these hon. Members will have a chance to interrogate it. We are now setting a precedent that we will have to live with in this House that a Member of Parliament can seek for a Ministerial Statement and another one uses the same to raise other Ministerial Statements without passing through the Speaker’s Office as is a requirement. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister said that out of 272 recruited DOs, 70 are female. We know that it is the policy of the Government that at least a third of recruits should be of either gender. If you do simple arithmetic, you will find that 70 is below a third of 272. Why is the Ministry ignoring the Government policy of ensuring gender parity by making sure that at least a third of either gender is recruited? view
