• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a concern here. I am in the Government, but I want to be helped. Most of my people are in Tanzania due to the drought. I want an assurance from my colleague here that---- view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. With due respect to my brother and colleague who has moved this Motion, I stand to oppose it. I oppose this Motion because moving Parliament from one location to another does not add any value to the development of this country. Parliament is not a matatu or a bus to move from one location to another. It is a static institution and laws are made in this august House which affects the development of this country. Even the developed countries like the USA and the UK do not move their Parliaments from one location ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The Speaker of this Parliament has made tremendous improvement on how Kenyans can benefit from the contributions in this House. This Parliament is now covered live. Individuals in Mandera or Lokichoggio with a television set can watch and follow the deliberations of this House. So, you do not need to move this House from one location to the other. Can you imagine the financial implication if Parliament was moved from one location to the other? Just imagine taking the sittings of Parliament, for example, to Moyale. Imagine moving 222 Members of Parliament and the staff to a new location. What ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are in the process of crafting a new Constitution. We are talking about devolution of power in the new Constitution. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are going to have regional assemblies, where regional development will be discussed. I expected that the Mover would have waited for that opportunity for Members of Parliament to go and address the issue in those regional assemblies. This House could make some provision in its budgetary commitments, so that hon. Members can be made to move around and know this country. I agree with my brother, Mr. Wamalwa, that peopled ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think it is the hon. Member who is not fully informed. The European Union Parliament sits in European countries, but national Parliaments do not move from one location to another. Is he in order to mislead the House? view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Did you see Mr. Olago crossing the Floor to this side without bowing? view
• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Report. First of all, I would like to commend the Committee for doing an excellent job by bringing this very important Report. However, if you look at the oversight responsibility of this Committee, you will find that it covers a very big area with regard to Government functions. This Committee plays an oversight role over the Office of the President, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Ministry of State for Public Service and the Office of the ... view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Question by the hon. Member for Igembe North to the Ministry of State for Defence to avail or provide statistics per district for the just concluded recruitment exercise touches on national security. However, the House Committee on Defence and Foreign relations can provide these details because we discussed with them in a meeting we had last month. I think the hon. Member can get that information from there. (b) The hon. Member wanted to know the criteria used to determine the number to be recruited for each district. The criteria used ... view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that the issue touches on national security and that we discussed the matter with the Committee on Defence and Foreign Affairs and we are in the process of concluding the same. Let me continue to answer part (b) of the Question. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the criteria used in recruiting members of the public to the armed forces is based on the armed forces policy and regulations and we have not changed that. view
