• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I knew what I was trying to stoke when I talked about hard language. This matter is receiving serious attention. I know that the Minister will want to give that Ministerial Statement as promised. So, a little patience on the part of the hon. Member for Ikolomani, and we will be ready to answer all those hard questions. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can see all that dossier, the majority of which is blue in colour. The hon. Member for Budalangi is a lawyer and clearly he looks like he is thoroughly prepared. However, I undertake to call the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. Indeed, yesterday, they were ready to proceed, but the Assistant Minister felt that he needed to consult with his office. In fact, yesterday, the Minister responsible was away in Mt. Elgon attending to another very important matter that is facing the Ministry. Suffice it to say that immediately after these ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will allow my friend, the hon. Member for Turkana to get away with that. However--- view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thought I was responding to the point of order, but since Mr. Midiwo is on his feet, I can give way. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not recall Mr. Imanyara, who was on the Chair yesterday afternoon, actually ordering that this be done this morning. If that be the case, first of all, I would like to apologise to the House for the fact that I was not able to get through to the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 203. I will be communicating with him as soon as I leave this Chamber. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have taken serious note of the need to make a Ministerial Statement with regard to that view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, we will consult over this matter. On the face of it, although the Prime Minister is supposed to co-ordinate all Government Departments, I think it is right and proper that the Member for Yatta will have directed himself to the Prime Minister. However, I will take a very serious note of it! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on a more serious note, I know this all very serious business. However, I would like to urge my colleagues here to put specific Questions, because the way we are going, we will end up asking for numerous Ministerial Statements, while those answers could also be brought before this House if hon. Members volunteer to ask specific Questions. So, I think we may ask the Chair to make a ruling on when an hon. Member should ask for a Ministerial Statement, and when they should also, appropriately, be prepared to put specific Questions to the departments ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sure you will have noted my concerns on the need for hon. Members to ask Questions, because the line between a Ministerial Statement and a Question is becoming unnoticeable. I am sure that my friend, Dr. Kones, could have asked a specific Question, and directed it to the Minister responsible, on why Bunge la Mwananchi was banned on Jeevanjee Gardens. However, I will communicate this information to the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to bring the matter to the attention of the Minister for Regional Development. Yet again, I urge our colleagues to consider putting Questions. As I said earlier in the morning, when Prof. Kamar was on the Chair, we seem to have a very thin line between Ministerial Statements and proper Questions. Therefore, if hon. Members could feel encouraged to put Questions, so that Ministers can answer them. view
