• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to face the fact that these Questions have been dropped. In view of the importance of these Questions, which touch on issues not only on the respective constituencies of these Members, but on the entire country, would I be in order to ask you if you can defer these Questions so that Kenyans could benefit from the answers the Ministers will be giving? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is a tendency in this Parliament by the Ministers and Assistant Ministers, when they do not have sufficient information to answer a Question, to keep on insisting on giving vague answers to this House and to the Kenyan people. The Assistant Minister has confirmed that he does not have sufficient information to deal with this Question. Therefore, will I not be in order to ask that this Question be deferred until the Assistant Minister has sufficient information or the substantive Minister comes to answer it? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Roads on the wanton destruction of properties along Mombasa Road which was witnessed yesterday. We have come from the post-election violence where properties were destroyed. Here, again, we saw properties of the poor being destroyed along Mombasa Road. When the Minister makes the Ministerial Statement, I request him to consider the following points:- One, those people in Embakasi whose properties were destroyed allege that they had title deeds which are sacrosanct documents issued for land ownership. I want to know ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Following your ruling that reading of the newspaper is not allowed in this House, is the Minister for Lands, hon. Orengo, in order to come with a newspaper here, read it and even go to the extent of showing the Deputy Speaker some of the pictures or some colourful--- Is he in order? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Mover for donating three minutes to me. I am going to be, indeed, very brief. First, I support this Motion because previous Parliaments have been used as rubberstamps by the Executive. This is the time the Tenth Parliament is reclaiming its rightful position. That position is by legislating and making sure that Kenyans are not again going to have a bloated Cabinet as it is this time. May be the circumstances this time are different. My friend, hon. Mungatana, referred to the Kenyan people as customers. I want to refer to them as ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: This is urgent, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been patiently listening to the hon. Member as he contributed. First, he said that 70 per cent of hon. Members have not constituted their Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Committees. Now, he is threatening us by saying that party leaders must crack the whip. Is he in order to intimidate hon. Members? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to debate on this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I stand to oppose this Motion. I have sat here sadly listening to the excuses the Government is giving with regard to why we should go on Recess. One of it is that the Minister of State for Defence said that we need to go so that we can have nyama choma and soda . Another Minister said that we need to go so that we can do homework for our children. A comment by another Minister ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I listened to hon. Kenyatta when he was contributing. He was precise and candid. The only unfortunate thing is that he is sitting among Members of the Cabinet who do not share the same candidness. He said that the Government needs time to jelly together. He also said the Government needs time to generate business. This is the kind of candidness we want to see. We do not want to be told that people want to go for nyamachoma . We know that there are ngamia where the Minister of State for Defence comes from, but ... view
