• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I did not hear the Minister withdraw the word “ alleluia ”. It is still on the HANSARD. I am seeking your ruling that he withdraws the word “ alleluia ”? view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support. In supporting, indeed, today is a great day. We have made progress, moving from the old constitutional dispensation to the new one. It is important that we take the gains that we have made, however small they are in this budget- making process. We need to come alive that the new Constitution has converted Parliament into a budget-making Parliament. The sooner we internalize this, the better. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the new dispensation, the name of the game is negotiation. Let us negotiate in good time, and that time ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometime back, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. He brought the Statement on the sale of Grand Regency Hotel, but the Chair ruled that he comes back after three weeks, which was yesterday. I was asking for your guidance on how to proceed on this because it was not brought yesterday. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought the Leader of Government Business could have done well by giving us an explanation as to the whereabouts of the Minister and not just seek an extension. When we are dropping Questions by hon. Members, it is imperative that an explanation is rendered on the whereabouts of the Minister. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Bill. I want to thank the Minister for having tried to cover the Police Service so elaborately. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say three things. One, in the timetable for the appointment of the Inspector-General, which is a very important office-- - There must never be a delay in that appointment. I want to suggest that the timeline set out needs to be as definite as possible. We define time as the difference between occurrences of two events. For example, when you want to say that the President shall within seven days of receipt of names forwarded under subsection (6) by notice in Kenya Gazette nominate the person for appointment as Inspector-General, there is ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The other thing I want to add is that in the appointment of the Inspector-General as covered under Clauses 12(1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), I do not understand how the selection panel is going to be a permanent part of this Bill in the future, because the structure of Government is going to change. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other point I want to bring out is in the qualification of the key personnel that are going to serve in the police force. This being the era of technology, I want to suggest that over and above the qualifications that have been spelt out here for the Inspector-General and the Director of the Criminal Investigations Department, the appointees must be technologically literate. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last but not the least, I want to suggest that the police force at the county level be made to report to the governor of the county. This is because the Governor, being the elected leader of the county, will have responsibility for the security of his people; a mechanism should be found, where the governor and the police force will be able to interact. view
