• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Government is treating Parliament with utter contempt. I asked this Question by Private Notice two Tuesdays ago. I had directed it to the Office of the President. The Minister then said that it was the City Council and you ordered that it goes to the Ministry of Local Government. Last week, a week after this Question was asked, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government uttered the same words that he has uttered today. He said that he had no information and that it could be under ... view

• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is in the HANSARD. When Prof. Saitoti asked for one more week, I asked him to undertake that there would be no further demolitions and, Mr. Speaker, you helped me to push him to undertake that there will be no further demolitions. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can see that the Assistant Minister has used the word “ineligible” which has become the mode of explaining to Parliament money that is improperly used.

• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Now that they have withdrawn the money and the answer is talking about the next Supplementary Estimates which is March, will the Assistant Minister perpetuate this illegality? If that is the case, is he in order to mislead the House that the Government is operating under this clause? view

In the HANSARD of the same day, as the Minister in charge of internal security was giving that evasive undertaking, he also categorically stated that it was not his Ministry involved in demolitions. Now that it has been confirmed by a fellow Minister that his Ministry was involved, would it be in order for Mr. Speaker to issue sanctions to this Minister who misled the House? If he did not have the information, is an apology not due to the House for the delay and for the misleading information? view
