• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the commitment by the Minister. However, this matter is extremely urgent because the fishermen are on strike. I know we may feel it when teachers are on strike because they go to classrooms, but where I come from people feel it when fishermen are on strike because we do not farm. We normally just go and get fish from the lake and that is what we feed on. The fishermen have been on strike since yesterday. So, if we wait until next week, there are many vulnerable people who will ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would also request the Minister to also explain to us whether the Deputy Prime Ministers are actually getting these perks without working which is then robbing Kenyans of their taxes because you cannot be here to answer questions and you are a whole Deputy Prime Minister. Could he, please, tell us whether they still deserve to have those titles and why they are earning Kenyan money with titles which belong to Kenyans? view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the Motion. In supporting, I want to agree with hon. Members who have indicated that we need to do things during the day, as part of the Committee that is involved in the constitutional oversight. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have talked about extending time. But I think that is one of the things we should revise or we should suggest that Parliament revises because I raised it last week. I will raise it again that there is a point---. I was dozing from sheer exhaustion and I am one of the most diligent Members of Parliament in this House. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whenever we do things at such a time, we will pass laws which we are not even sure of, leave alone the ones which we are passing when we are sure of. I want to very humbly disagree with my hon. friend Kabando wa Kabando about owning things that we do not agree with. Some of us very vehemently disagreed about certain positions and we cannot have collective responsibility in Parliament over things that we do, and which are not pleasing to Kenyans. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, I support the Motion because it will then give us time to finalize on urgent business and give some of us time to do urgent matters of personal nature, and which Rev. Mutava Musyimi has pleaded with me not to say. I will, therefore, not say. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while the Minister is consulting with his people, perhaps he could just clarify because I know that in this Bill, earlier on, we had defined counties as corporations. I remember that because I had a problem with it. I also want the Minister to confirm from his people whether when we are talking about county corporations, we are also talking about a government linked corporation, a county corporation and the county itself is considered as a corporation. That is a little confusing because you would not be clear when you are talking about the county, ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, of course, I am willing since I was just seeking clarification. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am happy with the clarification that Ms. Karua has raised but I had raised a third one where I was also seeking information. We have classified the county as a corporation in this Bill. So, I do not know whether that was corrected. I cannot remember the section but I remember that when I was contributing, I raised it. We talked about the county itself as a corporation. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to oppose the amendment for the reason that I have been consistent about – impunity. view
