• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: I want to join many hon. Members who are congratulating the Minister. Although this law creates an authority that will be autonomous in the sense that view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is a fact that the Government of Kenya now receives from the Diaspora up to US$1 billion. In whatever capacity and whatever they are doing out there, we receive that much. Am I in order to request the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya to urgently draft a Bill to establish a Diaspora Authority, which will be dealing with this matter as it is supposed to be dealt with? Such cases should be dealt with because we cannot recall all the Kenyans overnight. We are benefitting from remittances from them, ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a petition to seek the nullification of the ongoing redundancy exercise and re-instatement of all affected employees of Kenya Airways Limited. I am rising under Standing Order No.204 on behalf of employees who state “We, the undersigned employees, being employees of Kenya Airways, state that we have been working for Kenya Airways in various capacities and at various times”. The workers go on to state that out of the entire labour force, they constitute about 26 per cent of the payroll. They also go on to say that there is massive fraud, which ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he could confirm that the rehabilitation works on Maiella-Ngondi-Kongoni Road (D331/E445) have stalled, thereby greatly affecting Maiella residents who cannot transport their agricultural produce to the market; (b) whether he could also state the names of the two firms that were awarded the contract and explain how the contract was awarded; and, (c) when the works will resume and whether he could assure the House that sections that were shoddily done will be re-done, and further state when the works to upgrade the road from Suswa to Elementaita E445/D331/D322/E446) to bitumen standard will ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Two times now, you have ruled that the Question be answered as I had asked. In as many times, this Minister has avoided answering the critical part of the Question. According to the Standing Orders, you are not supposed to ask what is in public domain. We have gone even to the Registrar of Companies to find out about these companies; now could he comply with your two previous orders that he, indeed, answers the Question as asked? I have tabled it twice. All I am asking is: Who are ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am tongue-tied because my suspicion is that the Ministry officials are the contractors in this particular section. How did you advertise locally, in your own notice boards, a contract worth Kshs400 million, in contrast with what is required in advertisements? view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during the beginning of the business of the House yesterday, hon. Kapondi rose and objected that the Alcoholic Drinks Control (Amendment) Bill should not be read the First time. During that time, you ruled that if the Bill was exactly the same, in content or otherwise, it should not be read the First time. First and foremost, the Bill is not exactly the same. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill wholesomely. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting this Bill, I want to draw the attention of the House to the fact that the research carried out by various bodies concludes that women contribute 52 per cent of labour in agriculture. At 52 per cent, it tells you that most of the time these good ladies will be occupied doing what would easily have been done by machines. Because of that also, that process of providing for farm labour affects the quality and quantity of milk. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the year 2009/2010, I believe hon. Kimunya at that time was the Minister for Finance. I do not keep a good track, but whatever it was, although the women produced constantly 52 per cent of the labour, if you look at projects that were domiciled towards women, either improving on their vegetables or otherwise, it was only 0.07 per cent. That means that they were still under 0.1 per cent, although they were contributing 52 per cent of the labour. Unless we also address those broader measures, then we will still hurt the infant. Mr. ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. I support the Minister and thank him because one of the things that have come to the new CMA is warehouse receipting which will require intensive discipline. Unless we have the capability to investigate, it will not work. I support. view
