• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very noble idea, and like you have just heard from the Mover, Kenya has, for the last five years, had a shortfall of roughly 200,000 metric tonnes of sugar. The COMESA four-year safeguard measures affecting local sugar industry ends in February, 2008. Since the time we were told that we have a shortfall of 200,000 metric tonnes of sugar, we have not seen any improvement, whatsoever, from the Government and yet, it is the majority shareholder in most of the sugar factories in this country. My very good friend, the Minister for ... view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Motion. Even though I am not an hon. Member of that Committee, I am quite alive to the fact that the Committee on the Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs, being the committee which is concerned with the subject of receiving nominations from the various bodies, in this case, the Law Society of Kenya and FIDA, is competent. Indeed, after listening to the Chairman of the Committee make his presentation, it is quite clear that this House runs the risk of becoming irrelevant if, indeed, this House will approve certain decisions ... view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I recall the circumstances under which Mr. Mohammed Abdullahi Ahmednassir resigned his position as the Chairman of the Advisory Board. Indeed, this is a matter that exercised the minds of many of us who took active debate in making the appointments of both the Director and the four Deputy Directors to the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission. The point being made is that if the House is satisfied that they have clearly followed all the rules and procedures requiring them to make certain decisions, it behoves us to own up to the decisions of the Committee. If ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs to read what appears to be like another Ministerial Statement as opposed to contributing to the debate on the Floor? view
• 11 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to similarly support this Procedural Motion of adjournment. Like my two colleagues who have spoken before me, I would also like to send my heartfelt condolences to the families and the relatives of the deceased Kenyans and above all, our departed colleagues from this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, like it has been said by Ms. Karua, death has, indeed, brought us to a point where we begin to re-examine ourselves and to see ourselves as not just individuals, but as Kenyans. Without spending a lot of time, I beg to support. view
• 6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, granted that the Ministry made requests to all Members of Parliament to submit at least five projects per district to be funded through the Rural Electrification Programme (REP), could the Assistant Minister tell this House what is the estimated number of poles required for the KPLC to be able to implement those projects, so that procurement of poles will not, in future, be done on emergency basis? It is through emergency basis that single-sourcing is being perpetuated and we are discouraging it. view
• 4 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have clearly heard the junior Minister say that the repossession of this piece of land is being undertaken through the implementation of the Ndungu Report. Is he telling this House that the Government is implementing the Ndungu Report, when, indeed, the Government has said that, that will not take place until a tribunal has been established as recommended? view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say one or two things about the President's Speech. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they say that the taste of the pudding is in the eating. In my view, the Presidents Speech contains a long wish list. If you recall, the President laid some blame on this House for not having passed sufficient number of Bills that were presented to us last year. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, among the Bills that the President referred to as having not been passed and are to be re-introduced are: the National Social ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that token appointments were given to people who have no serious political ideals, democratic or otherwise, who answer Questions in the House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, touching on the issue of--- view
