• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have withdrawn. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know, since Parliament is supposed to hold the Cabinet collectively responsible--- The Cabinet is collectively responsible to the National Assembly and, therefore, the National Assembly should know that so-and-so has been appointed in this manner. I would like to know from the Attorney-General whether a Presidential Circular is a legal instrument that contains such appointments and assignment of responsibilities to a Minister or an Assistant Minister in a particular Ministry or Department. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can give one more person. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I brought up this Question because of some glaring contradictions that I find, in that in certain respects and more so particularly appointments made by the President to certain key organs of the Government are actually gazetted through legal notices and the reason I therefore, wanted to bring out is that if, we intend to follow one or the other of any of those systems, there is some consistency. Are the appointments made through Presidential Circulars superior to those in view through legal notices that are gazetted in the Kenya Gazette? view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say a few words about the Vote of this Ministry. Taking up from the point that has just been raised by some of my colleagues regarding the creation of new districts, it appears to me like we may have to do away with constituencies as the units for representation in politics in this House and call the areas we represent "districts." We should make a decision, one way or another, so that if we want, as we say, to bring administration or services closer to the people, ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Minister was moving the Vote of his Ministry, he indicated that following the publication of the corruption index, the Ministry was shown to be leading in terms of perception. As a consequence, they began something they are calling the "Rapid Results Initiative (RRI)." It is very easy for someone to stand on the Floor of this House and talk about the grandiose idea of the RRI. Where are the rapid results? Who is seeing them? We cannot just keep talking about funny stories from the villages about the rapid results initiative. It is ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: 2378 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 10, 2007 When he was the Minister in charge of roads, in my view, he was very able, particularly in the area of transport. Now you see, when he went to the Office of the President, he made the policemen to be running the transport aspect by becoming the red light or traffic lights! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have one more small issue that has been raised on the Floor of this House, and which needs to be addressed. It is the issue of university graduates who apply for jobs as policemen and administration ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to confirm that a similar letter, I believe, in the same tenor as that one, has been written to me in my capacity as Chairman of the Public Investment Committee (PIC), signed by the same S.K. Patel. It is addressed to the Minister for Finance. Therefore, I also agree with my colleagues that the matter is so weighty that it needs further investigation. view
• 5 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to say a few words about this very important Bill. I may begin by saying that I was once a smoker, but I stopped the habit voluntarily. But I think, even as we contribute to this Bill, we should appreciate that it is not going to curb the habit of smoking. We can say whatever we feel about the harmful effects of smoking, but I can assure you that I do not anticipate, in our lifetime, that we are going to see a country called Kenya, that has ... view
• 5 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My business was, merely, to point out. I have just picked this Bill as I walked in here and I am happy that what I noticed is something that the Assistant Minister has been addressed on. The small brands like SM, Sportsman, and some other small ones like Horseman, Rooster, Nyota and Kali are the ones smoked by a majority of Kenyans. view
