• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Assistant Minister. I just want to inform you that the Standing Orders give us a leeway. If a Member is not here when a Question is asked, we drop the Question. It is only the right of the Member to be here when the Question is being asked. So, it is not only him who loses the Question. Unfortunately, we all lose the answer! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Order, hon. Members! I just want to mention the fact that there are Questions which are deferred because hon. Members have given notice to the Chair when they have either travelled on official duty or as a result of other reasons. That is when we allow deferment. Otherwise, according to the Standing Orders, if the Questioner is not here, then the Question is dropped. If that is what we have to do, Madam Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology, then we will do that. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Minister, we are about to get to your Question. So, if the hon. Member is not here, we will drop it. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: COAL EXPLORATION IN KENYA Where is Eng. Gumbo? The hon. Member is absent, so we will drop the Question! 1528 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 2, 2008 view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: POSTING OF ADEQUATE TEACHERS TO KOIBATEK DISTRICT Where is Mr. Lessonet? Again, the hon. Member is not here, so we will drop the Question. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Dr. Khalwale, I think you are out of order! Let me not allow supplementary points of order on this issue. That is not our business! Our business is that an hon. Member should be here by 9.00 a.m. There are people who arrive in their offices at 8.00 a.m in this town. So, if we complain, as hon. Members, what will the members of the public say? I would like to rule that you are out of order. Hon. Members should be here in time. Those of us who arrived here by 9.00 a.m came through the same traffic. Next ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Is there anybody from the Ministry of Roads? Leader of Government Business! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: My understanding is that Mr. K. Kilonzo is referring to why Ministers are not answering Questions, and not to the debate this afternoon. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. C. Kilonzo, you are out of order! We have already dropped the Question! So, the issue of whether it is going to be answered or not should not arise. That is a Question that has already been dropped. Maybe, for purposes of clarity, I want to state that there are times when we reinstate Questions for reasons that will only be understood by the Chair and the Clerk-at-the-Table. So, yes, it is possible to bring back some of the Questions that we have dropped. We have dropped five Questions this morning, because hon. Members were late. If we find ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. K. Kilonzo, the word "dubious" is not Parliamentary. Can you withdraw that word? On any debate that touches on the Grand Regency Hotel and the Minister for Finance, please, let us wait until this afternoon. You will have a full afternoon to deal with that. view
