• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just yesterday the Chair ruled that any Committee of this House is at liberty to investigate and inquire into any matter that it deems to be under its jurisdiction. Is the hon. Member, therefore, in order to be suggesting that this departmental Committee requires this House to direct them to do so? view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with the statement that we must end impunity in this country. But who is acting with impunity? We have people who have settled in the Mau Complex, Marmanet and Olalabel forests illegally. We have people who have gone to court to try and stop the lawful processes of this country and they have lost. We have people who have stood up before God and the country and said that blood will be spilt if people are removed from those forests. So, who is acting with impunity? We are saying that we have ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Executive has acted within the law as it exists. The Chair of the relevant Committee has stood and argued that, in fact, appointment also means re-appointment. That is a point of contention between lawyers. Speaker after speaker have stood here and accepted that it is a matter of interpretation. So, the Executive has acted within the written law. Those of us in this House who are then suggesting that it is okay to disregard the written Constitution as it is today, and we want to stand up and say to this country that we are ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have stood twice and read the Constitution for those who have ears to hear and understand. I think that it is fair to accept that the Motion before this House is about adjournment. It has nothing to do with KACC or the appointment of officers to that institution or any other things that are going on in this country. So, we should focus on the merits and demerits of whether we should actually go on recess. An issue has been raised that we want to go home knowing that the Economic Stimulus Package is in ... view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support it. I wanted to appeal to hon. Members, and the country at large, that we have been given encouragement to use whatever little we have. A number of things are happening today that we must bring to the attention of everybody. As a country, the incentives that we have already put on the table for business are not being used to the extent that we would like them to be used. I will give an example. Today, if you are ... view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we can be able to issue the Ministerial Statement on Wednesday next week. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we pleaded with the House on 27th May, 2009, the matter of Panpaper involves many parties which are not directly under the authority of the Government. It involves a lot of negotiation with other parties which is why, as the hon. Member has rightly pointed out, I did say that the last week of June was a firm target. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the House for us to provide that Statement on Wednesday this coming week. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think this is an excellent Motion and I rise to support it. The whole essence of democracy really is that governments are elected on the basis of a platform that they promise the country to implement a set of policies in order to achieve certain development objectives. Upon coming into office of a new Government, the technocrats would then take these manifestoes and make them into a policy programme for that Government. Last year, the Coalition Government did harmonize manifestoes and came up with the Grand Coalition policy document which then led ... view
