I remember referring to Mr. Shakeel as the Sheikh and I said if the Sheikh had agreed to it, then we are agreeable because I was the last person to agree and there was the second person after Mr. Okemo. He might not remember but if he remembers the reference of the name “Sheikh”, it was in reference to this. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Chairlady. Procedurally, what the Minister should do is to withdraw the amendment and not delete it. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Chairlady, the other information here was that we wanted to ensure separation of powers between the Executive and the county assemblies just like it is here at the national government. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Chairlady, it was a little controversial at the Committee level but we agreed that the two levels of government are inter-dependent and that is where the Minister says that you may have a situation whereby all the experienced staff are seconded there and there is a need to have them at the national level.

• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I heard the Minister say, in respect of Clause 195(a) “resign from office” but he has now said we should replace these words using the word “Board”. That should be “the Board”. view

• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for his consultative approach to this very important and delicate issue, but I want to regret one little thing.
