• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I could seek the indulgence of the Chair. I have no doubt in my mind that the Assistant Minister would know when he was appointed. I happen not to be able to know. I am sure he can give us this information. What I know is that he was duly sworn-in. view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Section 22(1) of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 2003, states that a proprietor of a public building shall adapt it to suit persons with disabilities in such manner as may be specified by the Council. Sub-section 2 further states that all proprietors of public buildings shall comply with Sub- section 1 within five years after this Section comes into operation. Unfortunately, the said Section has not been gazetted and, therefore, cannot be enforced. But I want to assure hon. Lekuton and the House that we will be looking into this matter because this ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take serious note of the request by the hon. Member for Mutito. We will urgently communicate this matter to the Minister for Roads. If you recall, there was also a similar destruction of property earlier on. The Minister should come up with a comprehensive Statement on this issue and particularly on the issue of compensation. I thank the hon. Member. STATUS OF AGENDA FOUR ON MEDIATION TALKS view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy 1002 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 14, 2008 Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member for Turkana Central. Similarly, this matter will be addressed urgently by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. However, it is also important to note that all of us have committed ourselves to giving this country a new Constitution within the next 12 months. I think Agenda Four will have taken that into account. However, be that as it may, this matter will be communicated to the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- "THAT, this House doth adjourn to a day other than the next normal siting day." I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all the hon. Members who have shown such exuberance, particularly our colleagues who I have noticed prefer to sit on the Opposition Front Bench, for keeping the Government side on its toes. The only limitation I have observed is that they have not been able to generate sufficient numbers of questions. For instance, you will have observed that although this Motion should be moved not later than ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Kosgey. In fact, I was debating on whether that was the proper Motion. The proper Motion should read:- THAT, this House do adjourn until Tuesday, 10th June, 2008. This is the day I was referring to when I said a day other than the next normal sitting day. The next normal sitting day would be tomorrow afternoon. Although ideally this Motion should be moved not later than 3.30 p.m., you will realise that we have had to move it at about 3.00 O'clock this afternoon, the reason being that there has not been a sufficient ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Ikolomani knows that I do have a lot of respect for him. I am here to try to attempt to convince him not to oppose this Motion. Of course, he is in contravention of the Speaker's own ruling with regard to what he calls the Grand Opposition. This is because as we speak, and as we all would want to be honest intellectually, there is no grand opposition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is an attempt at forming a grand opposition coalition, including my brother, the Member of Parliament for Chepalungu, who is really ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I made no such claim. More importantly, Mr. Ruto, my dear friend, knows that unlike him, ODM(K) did not really require the intervention of the former United Nations Secretary-General, Dr. Kofi Anan. We got properly into a coalition. Before the formation of the Grand Coalition, the Government side was always referred to clearly as a Government Coalition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to invite him to think for a while, why is it that we have a Grand Coalition. If it was just ODM and PNU, then it would not be a Grand Coalition. So, that is ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, thank you for protecting me, which you did so ably, but I really need to convince Members of Parliament that we need to adjourn to June 10th, 2008, in order to be ready for the Budget Speech. I am sure that, thereafter, this House will be ready to do this country proud. As we have already demonstrated, we are a very serious Tenth Parliament. With those remarks, I beg to move. view
• 13 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.98; this House orders the publication period of the Supplementary Appropriations Bill be reduced from seven to six days. This being a Consolidated Fund Bill, the requirements under Standing Order No.98 are that the publication period should be a minimum of seven days. Indeed, in the case of other Bills, as hon. Members will have noticed, the publication period should be 14 days. It is important, having 980 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 13, 2008 passed the Supplementary Estimates, that ... view
