• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I am quoting from Standing Order No.46. view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, after receiving help from my able friends! view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why I would request you to rule the Assistant Minister out of order is because it is believed that before a Ministry issues a directive, it considers why that directive is to be issued. If you look at this Question, it is simply asking: “What informed the decision?” This decision and the reasons behind it must be with the Ministry. So, I find the Assistant Minister evading answering this Question. In that case, I would request you to rely on Standing Order No.46 and find him out of order and punish him accordingly. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think there is need to interpret or make the Assistant Minister understand the Question; the Question is clearly asking: “What steps is the Minister taking---”. I would have expected the Assistant Minister to come to this House and tell us that the steps we are taking are that we are view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: trying to automate, et cetera, and it will end at this time and we expect to complete decentralization at this time. But the Assistant Minister is taking us round in circles as if he does not understand the Question. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this important Motion on the Presidential Speech that was delivered before this House on 23rd February, 2010. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: First, I would like to start – and I hope I will be fair – with the strong points in the President’s Speech. The President talked about the constitutional review process as many of us have said. I think his Speech was not only timely, but was also necessary. You will remember that when the first harmonized draft Constitution was released by the Committee of Experts (CoE), many of us wished, prayed and hoped that the two Principals, the President and the Prime Minister, would keep their opinions to themselves, until when many of us would have made their contributions. ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: have waited for too long as many have said and, this time round, it is almost becoming a reality. We are going to realize a new Constitution. We should not be too critical of the CoE for having amended again, the amendments by the PSC. Really, that is the work of the CoE. They have all the history, information, data and what Kenyans want. So, when they made some changes and made their point known to this House, it is only fair that we give attention to those changes and, if possible, adopt them. I think the CoE took a ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Let me quickly touch on constituency matters. I am particularly concerned with Government plans and implementation of programmes. Take the case of the roads’ money. We are being given roads money when it is raining and you cannot do any road. The roads are terrible! If that money was given a month or so ago, we would have done the roads so that, when the rains come, at least, the roads can be passable. But, right now, you are given Kshs16 million and it is splashed over newspapers and in the media but, you cannot use it. It is money ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know it is very hard for an accountant to do exactly what he is saying. You need to be a doctor or a psychologist to do that. Let me go to my point. Our rules of debate had envisaged that not all of us would be able to read the documents and that is why we have parliamentary committees. If the relevant parliamentary committee of the House has assured us through three hon. Members that they have had time to look at this concession and they feel it should proceed, I think it would only ... view
