• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that his office has been consulting with the office of the Attorney-General and the Law Reform Commission. If that is true, could he confirm or deny that his office was, therefore, completely left out by the Attorney- General when he published the current Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, which seeks to amend some sections of the Penal Code to, first of all, enhance the penalties and also to increase the scope covered by such language? This amendment, unfortunately, as I have seen in the report by the Departmental Committee concerned, has ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Are you satisfied that the hon. Member is in order to re-open debate when we are in the Committee? view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I will keep raising this issue, because right from the first Vote of these Estimates, it has always been like this. I am referring to the first Item under this Head, Item 3110300 - Refurbishment of Buildings - and the next one, Item 3110200 - Construction and Civil Works. The amounts allocated in the current financial year are Kshs10 million for the first Item, and Kshs20 million for the second Item. So that we are able to also exercise proper oversight, could we know from the Minister which of the buildings at the Headquarters are ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the heading there is General Administration and Planning, Headquarters Administrative Services. If this reference is to districts and not the Ministry Headquarters, then, perhaps, there may be need to indicate which district headquarters the Minister is referring to. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is Item No.3110200 on Construction of Building. They have allocated slightly over Kshs1 billion for that Head. I do not know whether there is a problem from the Treasury or there is something that we are not being told, as Parliament. That is Construction of Building, meaning one building. The next Item is Refurbishment of Buildings. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we need to be told about that classification. I have been raising this issue since we started debate on the Office of the President. Nobody seems to be really telling us whether it ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I quite agree that Mr. Obwocha is out of order. As Parliament, we really must exercise our oversight role. When we print Construction of Building, I accept the explanation by the Minister that, that actually must refer to several buildings. But why is it consistently in all Ministries? On this particular aspect - Construction of Building - we are told that it means many buildings, and that it is a printing error. But the Item below is very clearly printed as Refurbishment of Buildings. When it comes to Refurbishment of Buildings, it is only Kshs19 ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a question of lamentation. There is this Item that worries me. The Minister has been talking about training and building capacity for our own people. However, he is only asking for Kshs500,000 for training services. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wonder how many people he will train using this money. Could he explain? Could this money for training be elsewhere, perhaps, in the Recurrent Expenditure? view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if one were to believe the Minister, then how does that fall with the fact that last year, under the same Item, they were allocated Kshs3 million and the next financial year, they propose to allocate Kshs2 million? This Kshs500,000 appears to be misplaced. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with you. I do not know, I think it requires somebody who wears spectacles; is it Kshs1 million or Kshs3 million for last financial year? view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving this opportunity to support this Motion. Section 71(1) of our Constitution states as follows:- "No person shall be deprived of his life intentionally save in execution of the sentence of a court in respect of a criminal offense under the Law of Kenya of which he has been convicted." That Section is the one that gives authority for people's lives to be taken upon conviction for crimes specified in our laws. We have been singing in this House, and in this country, in various fora, including workshops and symposia, that it ... view
