• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is beyond my mandate at the moment. I think your ruling that this should be brought up next week should stand. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the point of order raised by Mr. Musila. This august House is unnecessarily under attack. The House debated a Report. The Members of Parliament were not giving themselves a pay rise. From what transpired outside this House, it would be prudent for the Speaker to take appropriate action. In fact, because these things are on record, the hon. Members who have been giving this House a bad name for populist sake should be named. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The armed forces has no law, policy or instruction directed at any section of the armed forces community that bars, restricts or limits either by gender, status or religion the wearing of non-uniform clothing. However, it would amount to contravention of armed forces laws and regulations to mix military uniforms and civilians clothing. This would definitely negate the essence of uniformity. It is not possible to allow a section of the armed forces personnel to wear any other clothing other than military uniform during working hours. Further, the worshippers are ... view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said with regard to military regulation, we cannot mix civilian clothing with military uniform. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was actually going in that direction to answer hon. Noor. I said there is no law to allow the military to mix civilian and military uniform. However, this is something we can look into. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: In the armed forces, we have clothing regulations and arms regulations. So, this is something we can look into. But it is not a must for us to give special preference to a particular section of the armed forces. It is not possible. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a design has been made in the armed forces on the turban to look like a military cap. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: When I was answering Mrs. Noor’s Question, I said that we can look into the request. But it has to be very specific. I just want to make a reference to the fact that the armed forces service under the Kenya Constitution is covered under Chapter 199(7) which provides for adherence to the rules and regulations by those subject to the Act. So, if you join the military, you have to accept to abide by the rules. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I told the hon. Member that we will consider that. I want to be very specific. I also want the hon. Members to know this. If you join the Armed Forces, you must abide by the rules as stipulated in the Constitution. There is a strict dress code in the Armed Forces which we must adhere to. We cannot be swayed by the wishes of individuals who are not members of the Armed Forces. We cannot and we will not. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot have an Armed Forces driven by religious passion. I want to be very specific here. I said that we will look into this request. First of all, it was not a request but a complaint. I was very generous by saying that the Armed Forces will look into this matter. However, we cannot be driven by passion when it comes to military rules and regulations. We cannot! view
