• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think I need to clarify on record that hon. Mwau is misrepresenting me. I am not saying that the President sets the term. It is the Constitution that sets the term; putting it in a layman’s language, Article 171 basically states the term for the JSC. It says that members of the JSC shall serve for five years, except---; then it goes to the transitional clauses which talk about the exceptions. The exceptions talk about one person appointed by the President at his discretion; he appoints two. It is for ... view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to thank the Members for their unanimous support. This basically reflects what happened in our Committee. Not only did we have unanimous support for this candidate, but it was overwhelming support. He is one candidate that was passed with a lot of distinction. We were extremely impressed and even if anybody is in doubt as to his academic credentials, the fact that he even went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) speaks for itself. That alone, without a PhD is enough. I want to thank the Committee that we were able to ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister, please, clarify whether they have a specific programme with other Ministries to mainstream environment protection in their work and, more specifically, with the Ministry of Roads? Right now, as the Ministry is undertaking infrastructural development, it is felling down many trees. There is absolutely no evidence that they are being re-planted. I will give you an example of Riverside and Homa Bay County - along the Kendu Bay-Homa Bay Road. If you look at the roads, all the trees are going. There is no evidence that they are re- planting the trees that ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, who is also a lawyer, ought to know that when you allege sub judice you must actually prove the same. So, he cannot make mere allegations. He cannot come before this House and say that there are matters before court. That is a rumour, as far as we are concerned. What we have before us is what hon. Karua has presented, the documents. The only thing now the Deputy Speaker can guide us on is whether they are authentic; otherwise what the Vice-President ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The reason why this matter is coming back the fourth time is because this mother that hon. C. Kilonzo is talking about was retired when she was 43 years and had eight children. She is taking care of eight children. The Government has set a dangerous precedent that when the court makes a decision, you can say that you will use rules and give administrative orders. This is a new Kenya, with a new Constitution. You cannot do such things. Let the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs be advised. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This House has made a ruling before, more than once, that unless a Member produces proceedings that show that a matter is active--- view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I did, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir! view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We just need your direction on this issue. This is because I know that the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) is already trying to deal with this issue in order to sort it out amicably. Is it in order for the hon. Member to raise that Statement? view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Maybe before I take your points of order, hon. Member, to the best of my recollection, yesterday, the hon. Member was actually punished. He was asked to leave the House for insisting on giving unsubstantiated claims. If that is the case, I am wondering why you are raising it again. Perhaps, you would have brought it as a personal statement. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Next Order! view
