• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, direction to the Liaison Committee is what the Member for Bura requested. I think he has to take my Statement as the Chair as the authority for that direction. I want to plead with him that he accepts that what I have said is actually what transpired. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding what hon. Njuguna asked, we have deliberated at length on this matter. I want to plead with the hon.

• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that is where some of the difficulties are. I think we are all political leaders. We calculate and see some difficulties. I want to urge that we stop that political calculation, without prejudging what would happen on the Floor of the House, so that when we come with the names, we will all rise to the occasion.

Even if we disagree on the meaning of the word “removal”, as, indeed, we are, and that we proceed as proposed, on Tuesday, to get new names, those names will have to find themselves before this House. Even as they do, we will have to bring another Motion to try and rescind the decision of this House which was arrived at on 17th of June, 2009. view

I think that is the way I just want to put it. I hope that we will be fortunate on Tuesday when we meet, so that we can make progress. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to get this Committee working. The whole country is expecting this Committee to take leadership in the implementation programme of our new Constitution. I cannot imagine this House going for another six months without this essential Committee. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I see the Assistant Minister in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance ready and able to proceed. Indeed, he looks very ready. So, I think this can be prosecuted. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, would Thursday be appropriate? view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I am also aware that the Prime Minister may be out of the country tomorrow. So, perhaps, we could schedule this for Tuesday next week? view
