• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: I have a point of order and maybe a solution. Mine would be that when Mr. Kimunya withdraws the Procedural Motion on this Bill, the import of which was to reduce the number of days of publication, so that we are able to go to second reading, he better tell us what will be the impact of withdrawing the procedural Motion; when will the Bill be due for Second Reading again. This will enable us to know if it is important that the days be reduced. Mr. Midiwo says that we want to have it on Tuesday on the Order ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Even the seconder of the issue which has been canvassed by hon. Mbadi says that it is amusing. I would say that it is entertaining and that it can only be given by humorous individuals like hon. Olago Oluoch and hon. Mbadi. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if they wanted an honest opinion or a ruling delivered on the matter they are canvassing, it is improper for them to canvass on the person who is directly involved and interested. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I rose to contribute on this matter raised by hon. Mbadi, I requested you to restrain any further ventilation on it but view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every time contracts are given out for roads, especially for the reconstruction of roads, it happens that there are site engineers who are deployed by the Ministry. But many a times there is collusion between them and the contractors themselves. That is why poor work is usually done. I had even informed the Minister about this because it happened to a road in Bura last year. As I speak, the construction of the road between Garissa and Charidende is being done in a shoddy manner. I even raised this with the Kenya National Highways Authority ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information! view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform my colleague, Mr. C. Kilonzo, that even if there were no disagreements between the PS and the other PS, Mr. Kimemia, the Minister and the Board, the Committees of the House are mandated, according to Standing Order No.198, to investigate, inquire into and report on all matters relating to the mandate, management, activities, administration, operations and estimates of the assigned Ministries and departments. So I want to inform him that view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since I was in school and to date when I am a Member of Parliament, I have never heard of any legal strike from the Government. Every other strike for the last 20 to 30 years has been illegal. So, referring to a strike as illegal when we know all strikes according to the Government are illegal is irrelevant. Just talk about the strike. But more importantly, the question I want to put across is that since the strike by the interns or the registrars has resulted in a shortage that has now started biting so ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I want to appreciate the goodwill that Kenyans have for the people of Tana River, specifically Tana Delta. The compassion that was shown by hon. Members of Parliament wherever we meet and the messages of condolence and goodwill that are pouring in from across the country. I want to appreciate and thank all Kenyans for standing with us at these trying moments. Secondly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to appreciate and thank the Kenya Red Cross for having stood firm in this conflict, even when issues are tough and ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that we will not deploy them even amidst the concern? We want again to urge the Government that even as they deploy the Kenya Defence Forces, they have to know that they are doing it under the new Constitution when even approval is being sought from Parliament. We are watching and we are sending the Kenya Defence Forces to go and pursue the killers and not to rape ladies. We are asking for the deployment of the Kenya Defence Forces not to terrorize the innocent who are already traumatized but to restore normalcy and ensure that ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. At the risk of consuming the time given to hon. Abdikadir, I think it will be erroneous if he had to convince the House and Kenyans that the contract, which was so cancelled by hon. Kimunya, was cancelled on the basis of a Cabinet decision, which is not the case. view
