• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Report. First of all, I would like to congratulate the Minister for steering this Ministry in a manner that it is supported by the rest of this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kriegler Commission was as a result of the dispute that we had over the election results. It is not right, even as we disband the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK), that we wholesomely condemn the electoral body. It is not right that we hold the ECK responsible for the violence ... view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we could assume that every one kilometre travelled in this country represents one vote, so that we have parity in this country. Those are the issues which could lead to chaos if we do not manage them very well. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, certainly not and you know that! view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to very strongly support this Sessional Paper on National Livestock Policy. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief in the interest of time. I know quite a number of colleagues are very passionate about this issue. I will, therefore, take as little time as possible in order to express what I want to say. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, as we thank the Government for bringing this Sessional Policy, it is 20 years after the first one was discussed in ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is clearly a very deserving case. I would like to know from the Attorney-General when Ms. Mumo will be paid this money. If she has already been paid, could he lay the evidence on the Table to that effect? view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Public Service:- (a) whether he could state the minimum qualification required to join the Public Service as a driver and a clerk, respectively; and, (b) what steps he is taking to ensure that the requirement is relaxed for Kenyans from ASAL regions to ensure that they are not marginalised in such employment. view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister because he has attempted to answer in accordance with the spirit of this Question. But what I am asking him to explain is: What is the meaning of the word "relax" in his answer? He said that the "Government relaxes the requirement". How relaxed is the requirement? How are these requirements going to be relaxed? What is the meaning? I would like to know the specific meaning of the word "relax". Secondly, many young Kenyans from northern Kenya and other arid lands do not have an opportunity to become clerks ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Minister is not keen to suspend the ongoing recruitment despite the fact that we have serious reservations, could he consider to circulate this policy to all the Ministries in Government - the ones that he says has an intention to relax? As it is now, drivers and clerks are being recruited at the headquarters here in Nairobi and ASALs are not accessing these jobs. Could he, therefore, have an affirmative action and directive to the Ministry so that they could consider to recruit them even as a policy is being put in place? view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to utilise the remaining two minutes in a very constructive way, and also spare the Minister the agony of responding to this debate in two minutes. The issues raised are so fundamental. He cannot do sufficient justice to this matter in two minutes. So, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Ministry and the Minister for coming up with this important Bill. The last time this matter came before this House was in 1998. Between that time and now, fundamental transformation has taken place within the ICT industry. Therefore, 3514 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion but with reservations. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the IPU Seminar which will be held in Nairobi is an important international seminar. As far as I know, the membership of the Kenyan Chapter has not been nominated. I had an opportunity at one time to write to the Speaker to organise for the nominations of the membership of IPU, Kenya Chapter--- view
