• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has said that he did not have to rely on the advice. Section 5 of the Act is very specific. It says that there shall be a principal of the college, who shall be appointed by the Minister on the advice of the board of management. The Minister has absolutely no discretion to appoint on his own. The Minister can reject the advice of the board, or the list, they give him, but he has to return it to the board for fresh advice. Could he tell us which specific section of the Act gave ... view

• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Is he in order to go on a zigzag route and avoid answering the specific question? He said he did not have to rely on the board’s advice: Which particular section of this law gives him discretion to appoint a person without the advice of the board?

• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is clear that the Minister has failed to answer my question on the section of the law which allows him to bypass the Board.

It is some of those IDPs that now camp at Gatundu. What has the Minister done to identify the IDPs of 1992 clashes? What has the Government done to ensure that those people ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: It may well be as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has explained but, in this House, apart from the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, we have the Budget Committee and the Mover of this amendment is a Member of the Budget Committee.

Since the money will still, according to the explanation of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, end up with the Kenya Airports Authority, for the time being let him streamline the ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The New Clause 30A that has just been passed and was a new clause ought to have been read a Second Time because it is a new clause. But it has been passed as though it is a normal amendment. It is irregular and I think it ought to be regularized. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: I remember another time we were sitting and it happened. That is not a properly passed Clause. We ought to revisit it. view
