• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister talked about minors being considered as part of the passenger. Does he mean “minors” or “infants”? Some minors are very big for them to be considered part of the main passenger. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to support this amendment because it qualifies what “integrity” means. In the past, we have seen people who have even been convicted of criminal offences holding Ministerial positions. It is high time we put a stop to this by making it very clear that somebody who has been convicted of corruption or an economic crime within the meaning of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, should not be allowed to hold such a position. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also want to add my voice in opposing this particular amendment. That is because, really, if you are giving the Ministers responsibility, you should do so if you know that they have the capacity to execute that responsibility. As it stands now, it is not possible for the Minister to have the capacity to deal with administrative and financial matters. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to inform the Assistant Minister that, consultancy forms part of capital expenditure. So, it can never be recurrent expenditure. But, besides that, I think the Assistant Minister can do justice to this House by telling us exactly what he is referring to as recurrent expenditure so that we can help him know whether it is recurrent or capital; because if he just says that it is recurrent without knowing what it is, then we cannot help him. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the main reason why many coins are kept away from circulation by people is because of the damage they cause to their pockets. Why can the Ministry not consider printing notes in lower denominations like Kshs10 view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also like to support this Motion that is before us. Let me, first of all, say that I am happy to be in the ten Parliament that is, probably, going to pass the first land policy since Independence of this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, land issues have been very emotive in this country and a lot of problems that we have witnessed – they were most pronounced from 1992 - are, of course, linked to elections. But if you look at the problems critically, you realize that ... view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to thank the Prime Minister for such a detailed Statement. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: I agree very much with him that it is the responsibility of private sector to create jobs. However, it is the work of the Government to provide a conducive environment for the private sector to operate. Currently, there is a problem of insecurity in the country. We know without proper security, the private sector will not carry out its businesses competitively. What programmes does the Government have in place to address the security problem in the country more urgently as we wait for police reforms that are taking place? view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way these murders were carried out in Migori is a bit suspicious. If the cause is business rivalry, one would have expected that it would involve only mature or senior people in the society. Where children and women are attacked, there must be a different motive or objective behind these murders. Could the Assistant Minister confirm to us that they are still carrying out a thorough investigation to unearth the main motive behind these killings? view
