• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, as we await for the amendment to the amendment, I have been seeking an opportunity to support the original amendment by the Committee. The presentation has been made here about issues of corporate governance. This Commission is not a board of directors. Article 88 of the Constitution that has been referred to extensively, Article 88(3) provides that anybody serving in this Commission shall not hold another public office. This suggests that this Commission is seen by the Constitution as a full time body that is making critical decisions and managing the affairs of conducting elections and other ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Is it really in order for hon. Members to insist that you put the question, when half the House is trying to contribute? view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. As we debate this matter, is it really not in order for us to stick to the truth? If you read Section 2(a), you will find that it talks about the report of the former Boundaries Commission as a primary reference material which Ms. Karua is right to say was never tabled in this House and we did not adopt it. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to oppose. If you look at what we have done in the last one hour, we have consistently prepared the ground for another stalemate such as the one which occurred in the previous commission. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, protect me. Am I not entitled to have a view? We have insisted on this amendment by the hon. Abdikadir on Sub-paragraph 2, that the Commission shall use--- This is forcing the Commission to use the report that was generated by the previous commission. Most people agree that there was something wrong with the product; it was not complete and had faults, and then you create a circumstance--- You see in the first Article we say that the Commission shall resolve all the issues, and then we proceed to tell the Commission that it must use the ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: I am quite relaxed. You must know that even if the majority have their say or their way, the minority must have their say. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I was just trying to conclude, but for a multitude of interruptions. We have consistently insisted that the Commission will use whatever product will be on the table; we are binding it that way, and then trying to create an offence, if the matter is not concluded or gazetted. What we are really trying to do is to create a path, so that the faulty kind of work that was done by the previous Commission will find its way into this law; we are creating the reason for--- I oppose. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to tender my apology to the House that this Question was not answered two weeks ago, even though the hon. Member is not present? view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is. I do apologise to the House that the Question was not answered a couple of weeks ago when it first appeared on the Order Paper. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. We have been criticized that most of the large construction contracts, be they in the sector of roads or in other pieces of infrastructure like stadiums, large buildings and so on, end up with foreign construction companies. We have also been criticized in terms of the slow pace with which some of the pieces of infrastructure are being delivered. But if you look behind the reasons why these things are happening, a key question is lack of capacity at the company level. So, in terms of Kenyan ... view
