• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I rose on a point of order to bring an amendment and if I heard you right, my amendment had been captured in Mr. Keynan’s amendment but he has since withdrawn it but I still maintain mine. The reason I want to maintain mine is that this document was before this House and according to the traditions of this House, every time we do not approve of anything, we expunge it from the report. What we have on record is that the Report of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Fifth Schedule to the Bill be amended in paragraph 2(a) by deleting the words “tabled before” appearing after the words “former Boundaries Commission as” and substituting therefor the words “adopted by”. Mr. Chairman, Sir, on page 2442, I want to propose a further amendment to the amendment brought by Mr. Abdikadir on paragraph 2(a). view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all appreciate the anxiety surrounding this Bill. The House is ready but the only thing that we now see lacking is leadership on the Government side. Could the Leader of Government Business tell us what the problem with the Government leadership is in moving these things forward? view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs was moving this Motion, he sought leave of the House to shorten the maturity of this Bill. It was on the ground that this matter was urgent. Today, we are getting application from the same Government and none other than the Leader of Government Business that we lengthen the period unnecessarily without giving any reason. Are they in order? view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad that one of the schools which was upgraded in my constituency is Asumbi Girls. Other than the fact that we have evenly distributed the slots for admission nationally, what will Asumbi gain out of this? view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Minister is over-simplifying the question. I asked: What will Asumbi gain out of this in terms of having been elevated to a national school? I was expecting something like additional investment in terms of infrastructure, manpower and equipment. Above all, what will these national schools benefit this country in terms of producing nationalists? What has the Minister done about that? view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is apparent that the Government was relying on Standing Order No.38. It is now apparent that the Government was relying on the wrong Standing Order. This is now the property of the House. We are under duty to move this process forward. I want to urge you in your ruling to rule in favour of the many Kenyans that are anxiously waiting for the implementation of this Constitution. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Prime Minister has said that he was invited to Zimbabwe by MDC. Could he clarify what lessons he learnt there that could be beneficial to this country? view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. I want to congratulate Eng. Rege for his vision and wisdom in bringing this Motion. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: I want to start by saying that nothing is as critical to the management of a country as data and statistics. Mr. Midiwo has just taken wind out of my sails. It is imperative that this country adopts a single identity for every Kenyan. Every Kenyan born should have a number. That number should be your identity, birth certificate number, bank account number and voter registration number, so that these numbers in a data bank become self-regulating and when you die it is deleted. We will never exhaust the numbers. So, it is imperative that this be given a priority, ... view
