• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for giving half the information as she promised this morning. I want this House to take cognizance of the well stated facts by the Minister; that the works of the DSG are, among others, to plan timely provision of relief supplies, and to make recommendations to the Ministry headquarters on organizations that qualify for appointment as lead agencies in a ranking order. Those are the words of the Minister, not my words. The reason as to why I am saying that the Minister has given half information is that ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the interest of time, I think I will conclude in very few minutes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion because the Chairman of the AMANI Forum, hon. Ethuro, happens also to be my chairman in many other quarters. I know that his intentions are well meant for the people of the greater Sudan and Southern Sudan. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, however, in supporting the Motion, we need to see as a country how far we can go. This country has invested so much in peace in Sudan. It has been an arbitrator between ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just build up the question after tabling these two documents. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House when he was seen on television saying that he would urge Mr. Raila and the President, Mr. Kibaki, to give them a chopper to attend the inauguration ceremony? He was doing that in his capacity as the Assistant Minister. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: From the DSG minutes I just want to quote one sentence. The DSG, after a meeting, said the award to the co-operating partner, that the German Agro Action, had its proposal only for function 21, which is EDP management and no proposal was submitted for function 22, which is secondary transport, food distribution and monitoring and evaluation, hence members felt there was little local social inclusiveness. The Minister alleges that in cases where DSGs flout the regulations of choosing a co-operating partner, then the Ministry has an overriding authority to pick another agency. Could the Minister tell the House which ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Minister is making allegations which are very grave and serious; that the Members of Parliament are affiliated to those NGOs. The Kenya Red Cross is a local organization that was set by an Act of Parliament. So, does she want to tell this House that they did not choose the Kenya Red Cross because some of us are affiliated to the Kenya Red Cross? Could she substantiate or withdraw? view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a document here which is an advertisement by the WFP, purportedly recruiting staff for distribution of the food, as the Minister alleges that it is the WFP which will distribute food for the next two months. But at the end of it, the letter is supposed to be submitted to Germany Agro-Action, the same organization that they awarded, but which was overturned again by the DSG, which they said they will reconsider. Is the Minister in order to purport that the WFP is doing the distribution when in ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in answering the questions that were asked, the Prime Minister stated that the Cabinet has resolved to pursue a local judicial system. I want him to clarify whether this is mutually exclusive or it goes parallel to the ICC. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether you noticed that when Mr. Ojode was answering our questions, he was pointing fingers at the hon. Members who were rising on points of order. Is the Assistant Minister in order to intimidate us in a manner to suggest that if we persist in our points of order, he will manhandle us as he manhandled Mr. Waititu? view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect your ruling that, that be the last clarification sought, but due to the interest generated on this matter, I request that you allow more ventilation. view
