• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to plead with the Chair to appeal to the senses of this Minister. When issues are facing him, he tries to go low and pedestrian. I raised these issues in this House and it is upon him to deny them or say that they are not authentic. Let him say that they are not from the Treasury, then I have a name to protect or worry about. It is him who should explain the issues that I raised in a very sober manner. I did not attack him ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the issue raised by the Controller and Auditor-General when he touched on the 18 contracts in the Report that was submitted to the PAC, he said that there was need for further investigations. In which paragraph, did that Report mention that the office that is constituted in this country to raise audit queries was unable to do its work and 1102 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 3, 2007 that they needed the Treasury to go and look for another body and yet the KACC is also in town? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The administration of justice, when it comes to prosecutors, is the work of the Attorney-General. Have they disagreed? Why would he bring up that issue on the Floor of the House? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have read of Jesus and especially that day when he cast demons out of human beings and sent them to the pigs. That is exactly what the Minister is trying to do here. The promissory notes were issued with a statement or sealed by the Attorney- General that they are legally binding. Could the Minister state here that the Attorney-General, in concurrence with his office, has the promissory notes, not out there, but with him and that he has cancelled all of them that were ever issued? view
• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been deliberating on this issue for the last five years in the Roads and Energy Committee. This Assistant Minister should not be answering this Question. It should be answered either by the Leader of Government Business or the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. Why has this Government been afraid of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill since 2003? view
• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is appropriate for the rest of the hon. Members, if the Assistant Minister could table audited reports over these years mentioned, so that we can use it to check what is happening in our various county councils, because we cannot see much happening on the ground. view
• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also say a few words about this Bill. From the outset, I oppose the Bill as well as the amendments. What we are not being told is about the definition of even what a political party is. It is not 1002 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 26, 2007 a briefcase piece of paper that you fold from the Register of Societies and then call it a political party. A political party is supposed to be an entity with an ideology, philosophy and theory of governance, if it were ever ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are talking about the people who have applied. We are having a problem with this Assistant Minister not making it possible for the young people who have attained 18 years of age to apply for identity cards because they are being told to produce affidavits. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my constituency, I have over 10,000 youth who cannot register because they are being asked to produce affidavits which cost Kshs2,000 and this amount is too much to ask from them. What will the Assistant Minister do to waive this issue of producing affidavits because ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you recall, from the records, this Question was not supposed to be responded to by the Minister at all. The Assistant Minister was adamant that the content of his answer was sustained and the Speaker promised that he would go through the records to see what transpired and see whether the Assistant Minister was right in saying what he said. He had said that he had confirmed his April 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 883 information from the Registrar's office. After the Clerk had ascertained that hon. Kimunya was a Director ... view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Question, it is actually in the interest of the Government or the Assistant Minister to have these demand notes on time. Now, when they are in the process of computerisation, the people get them delayed or very many months accumulate without even ever being captured in their records. Could he waive the interests on the delayed demand notes by the Ministry, not by the payers? view
