• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), in the accounts for the year 2001/2002, the subject matter raised by the Committee was that there be investigation and prosecution of the directors of a company known as Regent Management Limited, which is an estate agency firm, for engaging in business for which they did not qualify under the relevant law. Again, action was to be taken by the smiling Attorney-General. To date, nothing has happened. I believe he must be still smiling wherever he may be. He was here in the morning. The Kenya ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also intend to be very brief. I want to thank Dr. Kituyi for bringing out that very clear provision of the law. It is good that we can explain some of these things. That section reads, "If the Treaty is amended, the Attorney-General shall cause that amendment to be published and be laid on the Table of this House". The reason, in terms of our own Standing Orders, and in terms of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, Cap.2 of the Laws of Kenya, why the Attorney-General, or any Minister or other person, is ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why in Article 150(6) even the Summit itself is not the one that is deemed to have brought the proposed amendments into force without their Partner States' concurrence, is because the Partner States' Parliaments are the ones that make the laws, and not the Summit itself.

• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take a little time in engaging in the May 15, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1321 usual ritual that we have to engage in. But I just wish to point out a few issues. We have already discussed the policy issues and, therefore, this is a matter of formality. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I feel it is important that when we come to Supplementary Estimates, we should deal with the areas that spur growth in the country. It is those areas which should be asking for additional funds towards the tail-end of a financial ... view
• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just about to conclude, but it is important that the point I was making is addressed by the Minister, because he did raise it while moving this Bill. None of us is opposed, and I appreciate the urgency with which the House requires this Bill to be passed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I would want to appeal to the Minister that in the near future, funds should be provided to go to individual secondary schools to enable them to discharge certificates of students that left schools many years ago and cannot access employment ... view
