• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Information and Communications:- (a) whether he could provide a breakdown of Government expenditure on advertisements in each media house per year and cumulatively from 2005 to-date; (b) whether he could provide the list of top 20 Ministries in spending in each of the media entities in descending order; and, (c) whether he could table all the contracts that were used in procuring those advertisements and/or promotions. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. A few minutes ago, I received a very lengthy data sheet. Conspicuously missing in the same data sheet is a list of the contracts which I had asked for in part “c” of the Question. Would I be in order to request that this Question comes back after a week, so that I can study this document, having been supplied with the list of contracts in question by tomorrow? view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The second part of the Question was about the contracts under part “c”. Could you also make an order that we--- view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and go straight to Clause 24. In my view, the first functions would have been coordination of emergency evacuations so that in a scene where we have emergencies like the bomb blast and other things, the police are expressly in charge of that scene. The same could be said of scenes of crime and all other areas that are not specified and where we are not likely to have any further Act that define such scenes. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Looking at the functions of the police and their very nature, I find Clause 67 a bit wanting because it says that they cannot use public property on their own. We need to define that further because the house, the beddings and other things are part of public property and somebody malicious might say that it is public property. I know perhaps they may have meant things like firearms, handcuffs and so on. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: If you look at Clause 95, you will find that the fines and sentences proposed for offenders are really harsh. I think 15 years or 25 years is not practical. As much as we do not agree on torture, imprisoning somebody for those years as proposed in this Bill is on the higher side. Perhaps it would have been better if it was five years or thereabouts so that somebody reforms, comes back and join the nation building exercise. I support the Bill. view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would hate to interrupt, of all the people, my lawyer. Through my limited reading, I am aware that the Chair brought a Bill in the last Parliament. The Minister has just said that, that has never happened. So, perhaps he may need to again look at his notes to see that actually there was a Bill, under Section 46, which was introduced by the person of the Chair today, on the subject matter. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Agriculture:- (a) whether she could confirm the estimated loss of revenue due to export of raw agricultural products outside the declared value addition policy in exports of horticultural, floriculture, industrial crops of coffee and tea as well as macadamia and cashew nuts; (b) when the Government will impose a total ban on non-value added agricultural products; and, (c) whether she could also confirm that the flower industry is losing about Kshs42 billion annually due to double pricing domestically and abroad and, if so, what the Government is doing to reverse the trend. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you see have seen the Assistant Minister throw a piece of paper across the Dispatch Box? Is he in order to throw documents across the Dispatch Box in total disregard of the Chair? view
