I happen to be a Member of this Government, and I want to state the following: Whether they like it or not, there is a general March 29, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 257 feeling that since this Government came to power, there has been a tendency for certain appointments to go to a certain community. view
• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sooner we face this issue and address it, the better it is for everybody. I am a very big admirer of the President of the Republic of Kenya, but unless this issue is addressed, it is not going to disappear. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I am a supporter of this Government, but let me say from the outset that I vehemently oppose this Motion. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: For the record, I want to say that I was extremely disappointed to hear the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs say that the Government has certain concerns about the Bill.

• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the time we started this Parliament, we have passed a total of 52 Bills. That is what other Parliaments do in one year. I concede that we have performed a little better this year because we have done 20 Bills, and the other Bills were passed in the last three years. By us going home, 12 very prominent Bills are going to lapse. We have heard of the Sexual Offences Bill, but I am very concerned about the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. view

We do not know whether it will come back at all. 4302 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 7, 2006 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also know that this country needs a Constitution. There was a Bill that we were due to discuss. With us going home today, that Bill lapses. What happens? There is the issue of The Supplies Practitioners ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are having problems in our political parties. There is a Bill that has been published which we hoped will bring some order on how we conduct our political affairs. With us going home, what it means, ladies and gentlemen, is that this Bill will lapse. We do not know whether it will ever come back to this House. For those few reasons, I vehemently oppose our going home. I want us to go on and do some work. I beg to oppose. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell the House how much money has been allocated for the tarmacking of this road? view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to second this Motion. I will start by commending the PAC for a job well done. It is not easy to produce two volumes of reports in one year. I take this opportunity to thank the hon. Members of that Committee for the job they have done. I also hope that this will be the last Parliament to discuss reports of occurrences that happened two, three, four or even ten years ago. It is my sincere hope that after this Parliament is through with these reports, thereafter, all the reports that shall ... view
