• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a duty to disclose because I have just been informed by my colleague that indeed, the Minister was here in the morning and requested to give the Statement later because I was not in.

• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to congratulate the Mover of this Bill, Dr. Monda, and note that it is very strong on prevention and weak on treatment. Dr. Monda had done his bit and it is now up to the Ministry concerned to come up with a comprehensive plan on how to relieve cancer patients of their pain of lack of treatment by having a comprehensive plan. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very noble initiative and I wish, once again, to congratulate Dr. Monda and the House for passing this Bill. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise in support of the Motion. I want to congratulate the men and women appointed to serve on this Committee. I would like to remind them to strictly stick to the mandate given to them by the Act, and to note that although the Executive has largely been appointing people through cronyism rather than merit, whatever method has enabled these distinguished Kenyans to merit these appoitnments, once they are appointed they do not serve whatever godfathers they may have. They are requried to serve the country. Their work is not to sabotage the incoming county ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is my good friend, Minister Kimunya, in order to misrepresent what I said? I said whatever method was used they have found themselves on the list; whether merit, cronyism or manipulation, now that they are on the list they are serving Kenyans. Is he in order to misrepresent what I said? I cited all the options, including the merit. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for this Minister to suggest that Kenyans who voted “No” cannot comment or seek the implementation of the Constitution, whereas he knows very well that this Constitution is for the 40 million Kenyans irrespective of which way you voted? Is he in order to mislead and divide the nation? view

• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not on the same. This is a different point of order. view
• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here to mourn our two colleagues, hon. Saitoti and hon. Ojode, and also the four other great Kenyans: The two police officers, namely, Messrs. Tonkei and Murimi, and the two pilots, namely, Mr. Oyugi and Mrs. Nancy Gituanya. I want to recall that I have worked with hon. Saitoti since I entered Parliament. We were in the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) process together. We have worked together on many things in the Government. He was an amiable man who was friendly to all. He was an insider in Government but also somewhat an outsider. He ... view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is all good for the Assistant Minister to give us the overall picture, that the Government has complied. But as per the Constitution, no department or Ministry should have more than two-thirds of either gender in promotions, or in recruitment. Could he give disaggregated data or statistics which can show us the gender representation in one Ministry, and also the higher echelons of Civil Service, especially Job Group “P” and above? view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell the House what the rationale was to give equal money to all constituencies, while appreciating that a place like North Horr, for the materials even to reach there, the cost will have doubled or tripled? How much more have you assessed is needed by North Horr and what is the rationale of giving equal money, knowing that it will not finish such a facility in a place like North Horr? view
