• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this particular amendment. I think we should be serious about the definition of youth. You will find that in this country someone who has two wives still considers himself a youth. I think it is high time we brought this to a stop. Let us address the real “youth” in this country. Otherwise, you will find people who are approaching fifty years of age campaigning on the platform of youth. This is because the definition of “youth” is amorphous. When we want to restrict the youth to the relevant age, some ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I just wanted to remind the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 that Vision 2030 was not brought to this House for approval. I think the Government has just been implementing it. It is an Executive tool and therefore, it should not be referred to in this House. Is the Minister in order to refer to a document which was not brought to this House? view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support that particular amendment. Let the chair be the real youth and not the ones that we think are youths and are not youths! view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support this amendment. I think this is a very good amendment. We have put the word “youth” here to do away with the pretenders to the throne; people who were in Youth for KANU 92 and 20 years later, they still think they are the youth! view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is the Minister in order to revive a case that this House debated and passed? Is he not contradicting the resolution of the House without coming up with a Motion in a proper way? view
• 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
