• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, this is a very strong recommendation from the House Business Committee. We feel that, having advanced all the arguments yesterday afternoon, and the House having turned round completely, it is only fair that we use Friday as well. If we are able to go through all the Bills before Friday, the sitting on Friday may not be necessary. However, we need to prepare for that eventuality, and be able to take a decision. This will be of help to the Member for Githunguri, considering that he may not have read all the Bills. I understand his ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take the comments you have issued very seriously and if Mr. Michuki could be given the next available opportunity, I will definitely communicate with him. However, I notice that from the records, he was prepared to answer this Question. It must be that he is trying to get here. view

• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank hon. Namwamba for complying and ask if he could kindly listen. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are 18 Orders of the day and, clearly, this is substantial work. The reason for moving this Motion has to do with the need for us to beat the constitutional deadline of 26th August, 2011. I want to mention here that the Cabinet, on its part, has discussed all the Bills that are in accordance with Schedule Five. The onus now is clearly on the House to do our bit. I have said before, from the Floor of this House, that the Tenth Parliament has a date with destiny. It is this House that so proudly ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: within the precincts of Parliament. Therefore, it will be possible to even provide supper, if necessary, so that we can be seen by our constituents to be discharging our full responsibility to ensure that we enact these pieces of legislation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, therefore, in order that, as a leader, I recognise that Members have been ready but we, the Executive, as a result of those consultations, have not been able to be as forthcoming as hon. Members would have expected. In fact, hon. Members would say that they have been actually ready and willing to pass these ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek the intervention of the Chair in this matter because this is the third time that this Question is being asked. During the first instance, the same Question was asked by hon. Dr. Robert Monda on 17th February, 2009 and again, by hon. Mithika Linturi on 18th August, 2009. Further, two of the subjects, the persons mentioned specifically, went to court and two cases are pending before court. The hearing of the cases is continuing as we speak. I wonder whether this matter is not really sub judice . Therefore, I seek the Chair’s interpretation ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you and I take kindly the remarks that have been made by my colleagues. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: First, on the issue on that hon. Karua raised, yes, it is true. We had some very useful consultation, including my giving her a copy of a report that I think she must have found very useful. It is also true that I was pressed for time and we discussed that. In fact, I approached the Chair at that particular time, and you were willing to have this matter brought forward, so that I could deal with it, and then, thereafter, leave. The technical bit was that I was still supposed to make a further statement. So, it was not ... view
