• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to clarify to the House why it was difficult for him to just get 47 national schools, so that there is one per county. According to the criteria he has given Kabare Girls in Kirinyaga County, and several other schools within the county, have attained the criteria, with Kabare Girls having over nine points, or whatever points he was talking about and a mean grade of C plus. Why was it not picked? Why were other schools within the county not picked, which all attained the criteria? view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee of Experts when they framed this Constitution were quite aware that a Government can frustrate implementation of the Constitution. Therefore, unlike the normal Bills that come through the Government, a third organ outside the Government and Parliament was created. That is the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution under Clause 5 of Sixth Schedule. Part of their mandate is to monitor, facilitate and oversee the development of the legislature and administrative procedures required to implement this Constitution, co- ordinate with the Attorney-General and the Kenya Law Reform Commission in preparing for tabling ... view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week, I asked Question No.679, and on a point of order raised by the Member for Mutito, Mr. K. Kilonzo, you said that you would give a ruling. He said that the matter was sub judice, but on that day, you did not give us a date. Is it in order for me to request you to give indication when your ruling might be ready? view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: It is not! view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he is aware that a contingent of Administration Police officers trespassed onto private property that is subject of a court dispute, namely Narok/Nguruman/Kamorora/1, in April, 2010, and have remained there since, despite protests by the registered owners; and, (b) whether he could order the immediate withdrawal of the police from the property. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question was answered. However, the Minister was to investigate and revert on the issue of firearms and illegal activities. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I find it very strange that a point of order can be raised during the fourth time the matter is coming to the House. The matter came here the first time when the Question was answered. The Question had been deferred on two other occasions by mutual agreement due to various circumstances. If an hon. Member ought to have raised a point of order and never did, I would imagine that he or she must hold their peace forever. If the Minister had finished answering the Question on that day, what would have happened? So, unless we ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, the Question acknowledges the fact that there are ongoing court matters. The Question acknowledges that the AP officers are trespassing on a property which is subject to a court dispute. So, there is a dispute, but the Question asked does not relate to that particular dispute. The orders given for status quo do not include police being there. With those facts, I would urge that you allow the answering to conclude. Even as you look at the documents, the point of order is late. Even though the hon. Member was not here when the Question was asked, we are ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While considering that, you need to consider whether you are now reversing your decision, where you ordered the Assistant Minister, within four weeks, to investigate and report. That is what it will amount to. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to start by congratulating my colleague who has just presented the Petition. I think it was a dark day in our history where Members of Parliament, despite the Powers and Privileges Act, were arrested within the precincts of Parliament and one of them had been presiding on the Chair. I think we owe it to the family of the late hon. Jean Marie Seroney and to the surviving hon. Martin Shikuku, at least, to register an apology. It would be great if it was done right here in the House and any matter of reparations ... view
