• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, it is not true that His Holiness Dalai Lama and his team were issued with any visas. The application by His Holiness Dalai Lama and his entourage of eight persons, making a team of nine, indicated that they wished to visit Kenya 1522 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 23, 2007 between 22nd and 28th January, 2007. That is long gone. The visas were not granted. Whether a letter, which we have not seen, was written or not--- view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, have I breached any order? view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the Statement required is very complex. We, therefore, need time to get all the facts together. Maybe, two weeks will be sufficient for me. view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak just after my young communist friend there. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, this House has been unable to benefit from the industry of the Departmental Committee that should have guided debate. We want to urge the Chair to assist this House in leading to informed debate by Committees doing their work. We do not want to repeat this over and over again. We want the Chair to assist the House. view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: That is exactly the issue, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We vote money for Committees and so they must work. We are only left with Muite's Committee that works in this Parliament. view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: The PIC is not a Departmental Committee. We are talking of Departmental Committees that have to inform debate in the House. view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Ahenda should care to know that my young communist friend has been my client for the last many years and I know him. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute to this Bill and I will start where hon. Ethuro left. In a liberalised economy and labour market, Parliament cannot, today, pass a Bill to deal with wage guidelines. I want to urge the Minister and I have mentioned that to him as we were seated here to delete from this Bill the whole of Part VII. It has no relevance whatsoever. ... view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Minister, for clarifying that position. We just want to have the record straight. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I move on to Clause 6 of the Bill, I want also to join my colleagues who have said that the series of Bills being brought from the Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development are long overdue. They are Bills that we welcome and are likely to make the working life of workers in this country better. Clause 6(1)(b) is on the composition of the Board. We all know that there is the Central Organization of Trade ... view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you look at (c) after the word "may" you will see (c) which does not fall in place at all. It states: "The Office of the Registrar of the National Labour Court is vacant." Then within that (c) you have (i) which states, "the grant of urgent interim relief". What does that mean? It does not follow at all. If you move on to (b) it talks of "a prohibition" and it goes on and on. I think that there is some problem in the draft, and I hope that the Minister and ... view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that the Minister appreciates these kind of errors in a Bill that is going to be law. It will be very difficult to deal with it in this state. Clause 19(h) on page 347 is just something that is not legally neat. It states: "Subject to the provisions of any written law condone the late filing." You do not condone; you allow or permit the late filing of documents. It is not a condonation. A condonation means that you are condoning something that is illegal. So, I suggest that, that be changed ... view
