• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, parties will also get donations. I do not agree with my learned friend, Madam Minister, that we put a threshold of Kshs1 million for donations to parties. If, Mr. Biwott, for example, loosens his hand and wants to hand over his billions to a political party, so be it! Why should we stop him? It should be free for anybody to donate his or her funds to 1000 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 26, 2007 a party. If a party that has an overdose of donations uses that money well, it may develop its programmes and compete ... view
• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been sitting here and I do not think any hon. Member has argued the point I am raising. It has been mentioned casually, but I am going into much deeper details than that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to tell you that the most dangerous legal thing that you can do, is to create legal entities with competing powers and put them in the same house. It cannot work! That is why I have always told you that we cannot have an Executive Prime Minister and Executive President at the ... view
• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also happy with Clause 19 which says that when the Registrar of Political Parties wants to de-register or cancel a party's registration, the party has a recourse to the High Court. It is always important that when you set up a tribunal, however well-founded, the decisions of that tribunal must be subjected to a second level at the High Court, so that those who are aggrieved can go to the High Court and be able to pursue their interest. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the Committee Report which has provided for ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: And he can! view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Mr. Weya in order to say that the Minister for Energy has reformed? Was he crooked before? view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for an opportunity to contribute in support of this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to touch on a few points contained in these Supplementary Estimates. The first issue is that of infrastructure. Roads in this country remain in an unsatisfactory state. We need to see that money is allocated for road maintenance, while new roads are constructed. This will ensure that some of the roads that already exist are not let to go to waste to the extent that we will have to reconstruct them. Maintenance will save a ... view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: I think it is time we told those white people to pack up and go, then hand the management of the KPLC to local boys and girls who have the capacity to run it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the establishment of a Geothermal Development Company. This is for the simple reason that this country has a capacity of up to 3,000 megawatts of geothermal reserves. If we have a company that can focus on the development of geothermal power, it will be a boost to our electricity generation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me turn to ... view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could you protect me from the hon. Members in that corner? view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is my very competent Minister. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was talking about teachers. To make free primary education meaningful, we need to hire more teachers, and send them to schools. You can go to a school with three streams in each class from Class I to Class VIII and find seven or eight teachers. Most of the time the children, who go to school to benefit from free primary education, end up playing and going back home without receiving meaningful teaching. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the next Budget, instead ... view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, the hon. Member is not my learned friend because he is not learned. Secondly, 868 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 24, 2007 he obviously did not hear what I said. I talked about white people managing the KPLC. I did not talk about white people in general! view
