  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point or order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member has requested the Chair to make a ruling. I request that, in making the ruling, he should also avail the title deeds to those places to show whether those properties belong to the Government or those tenants. I cannot go to a place, put up a structure and purport it to be mine when it is Government property. Could the hon. Member also table the title deeds to enable the Chair make his decision? Could the hon. Member also table evidence showing when the hon. Member of Parliament ... view
  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to impute improper motive on Members of Parliament, when the Standing Orders are very clear that when something is out of order, we can raise it? She is a lawyer and she knows that! I am also a lawyer and I know that! Is she in order to impute improper motive on Members? view
  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am a member of the Orange Democratic Party (ODM), and have no apologies to make. Having said that, I want to say that I had raised an issue. Is the hon. Member in order to be imputing improper motives on Members? If am a member of ODM, I have a right which entitles me, as a Member of this House, to contribute. view

  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not received a written response to this Question. view
  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to proceed without it, because it talks about statistics and I have not seen them. So, I would not be able to interrogate the Minister. I also want your direction because yesterday I asked a Question about the facebook to the same Ministry, and you said that it would be on today’s Order Paper but it is not on it. So, could the answer be availed to me tomorrow and then you give your direction on the Question that was in yesterday’s Order Paper. view
  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Like the Chairman, I also want to say I am happy to second this historic Motion. This fortunate for me, especially as a woman who has been fighting for women rights for many years. I want to agree with the Chairman that we need to have a vetting law that will guide us as a country, so that when we do vetting we are very clear. I want to be very happy that, as a committee, we undertook this process. It was transparent and open to the public, and everybody was able to see ... view
  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since the chairman has gone into the educational background, one of the issues that came up that we need to look at as a country when we are dealing with these issues is that we must be clear that the Constitution now allows public participation. We cannot run away from it. We must deal with it. From our experience in vetting other people in the past, especially Mr. Ahmednassir, when we were in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, one of the things that came out very clearly was that because we do not ... view
  • 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one other thing I want to comment about is how we actualize Chapter Six of the Constitution on issues of leadership and integrity. In that regard, there are certain words that are in the Constitution, when they come to issues of interrogating what they actually mean; you discover that we all have very different ideas about what they mean. This came up, especially in relation to the nominations for Ms. Nancy Baraza, and Dr. Willy Mutunga. We had to actually look at issues to view
