• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Muthama. It was, indeed, ruled that anything touching on the Ministry of Finance should be deferred, but this is a Private Member's Motion. The Motion actually does not belong to the Minister. In fact, the debaters and contributors are fellow Members in the House. So, I think the hon. Member is right to move his Motion. Go ahead, hon. Mbau! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, I think it is good for us to know the distinction between what belongs to the Minister and Members in this House.

Member made, including the words "busybody", so that we can determine whether the words "busybody" should be withdrawn or they appropriately describe everybody who is busy, including himself. Please, re- phrase what you said, Mr. Githae. view

• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Githae, would you like to withdraw those words? It looks like you cannot re-phrase what you had said. It may have been a slip of the tongue. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, before we divert, I had requested Mr. Githae to re-phrase his earlier statement, bringing in the words "civil society", so that we see whether his definition of "busybodies" was actually offensive or it was described exactly the way he has defined it. view
