• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very valid question. I want this House to be alive to the fact that we are passing Bills which are facilitating Government by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and then questions come to the Government on matters which are not in its June 14, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1327 control.

• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to impute any improper motive on the hon. Member who has asked the question.

• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of this Motion on behalf of the Government.

I have seen the recommendations of the Committee, that the Government should invite His Excellency the President of the DRC, President Kabila, to make an official visit here to strengthen our political, economic, security and cultural co-operation. There is also the recommendation that ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Bill. In the title, the Bill clearly states:- "It is an Act of Parliament to amend and consolidate the law relating to national museums and heritage, and to provide for the establishment, control, management and development of national museums, and the identification, protection, conservation and transmission of the cultural and natural heritage of Kenya, and to repeal the Antiquities and Monuments Act and the National Museums Act and for connected purposes".
