• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for your indulgence. I rise on a point of order in pursuit of this House’s compliance with Article 221(4) of the Constitution. It reads:- “Before the National Assembly considers the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure, a Committee of the Assembly shall discuss and review the Estimates and make recommendations to the Assembly.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to fortify that by referring you to Article 3 of the same Constitution. It reads:- view

This Motion, as amended, if we proceed and debate it, I am sure that there will be a Question to be put at the end. In the event that the Question is put and negatived, what will happen? view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to interrupt my good friend, hon. Kimunya, but the Motion, as amended, is now being debated in the first allotted day. You rightfully put it that you have a maximum of three allotted days. In the event that we exhaust the three allotted days, what will happen to the Report of the Budget Committee when it is brought to this House for debate? How shall we get adequate days to debate it? Will we really get three extra days after exhausting our time by debating this matter ... view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I very much respect the Executive and the separation of powers. The Executive had an opportunity yesterday at the generosity of Parliament to espouse on the Budget policy. The able Minister did it very eloquently. However, the count is on.

• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have never seen this House in the best mood like it is today. The Minister ably gave us the Budget and the House is unanimous. Would I be in order, so that we end on the same good note and tone that we are in, to request you to call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 7 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid a simple question from hon. Kabogo? The question is: Who authorized the payment? That is because on a payment voucher, the accounting officer who is authorizing must say that he is certain that he has received value for service for the amount paid. Who authorized the payment and what value did he receive? view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister and his team are quite aware that under the law of contract, a third party is under no duty to ensure that the internal rules are complied with. Is it in order for the Ministry to subject those innocent Kenyans to this trauma for a mistake that is not theirs? view
