• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs:- a) whether he could explain the respective status of the Constitutional Bills scheduled to be enacted by 27th August, 2012 in line with the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution; and, (b) when each of the said Bills will be published. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to bring to your attention that when the Assistant Minister was here he intimated that the answer given was not sufficient enough and he needed to amend the answer. I have not yet received an amended answer. If he wants to proceed with the old answer, I am comfortable. But if he has amended the answer, I will be glad, especially if I am offered the answer before I start interrogating the issue. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are issues we have raised in this House before. As the Minister asks for extension of time, you may need to give guidance. This issue was raised to the Ministry on 29th February, 2012. Three months down the line, the Ministry is unable to furnish this House with an answer. I want to take you to two other Questions which were asked. One of them was a question asked by Mr. Affey on 12th October, 2011. Last week, the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons was asked to give an answer, they ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want you as the Chair to address this matter and give guidance to the House. When Questions are addressed to Ministries for them to respond, they are supposed to sufficiently provide a written answer even before the oral answer comes to the House after ten days. This is because the Question is deemed to mature in ten days’ time. There are so many Questions lined by hon. Members but they are unable to find themselves on the Order Paper in ample time. Sometimes we have to wait for close to three, four or five months ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: So, when a Question is posed to a Ministry on two Kenyan children who were unable to come back from a foreign land and were toiling to even make ends meet, but the Ministry only responds because it is a Question listed on the Order Paper. Are we doing justice to Questions we ask as the Back Bench? Even as Mr. Wamalwa requests for some more time, I think it is an issue that has now become a cancer that the Executive arm is unable to address themselves to questions and Ministerial Statements sought by hon. Members. We need further ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. A while ago, I asked for your guidance on an issue that I think this House needs to pronounce itself on adequately. I want to take you to Standing Order No.42 (5) which states:- “When the Speaker directs that a Question is in order, the Clerk shall as soon as possible forward the Question to the Minister to whom it is directed and the Minister shall, within five days of receipt of the Question, submit a written reply to the Clerk”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, paragraph (8) of the same Standing ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs:- (a) whether he could explain the respective status of the constitutional Bills scheduled to be enacted by 27th August, 2012 in line with the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution; and, (b) when each of the said Bills will be published. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, the Assistant Minister consulted with me and a number of hon. Members standing up and rising on points of order shows the importance this House attaches to this Question. I wish that the Assistant Minister who has shared with me that he will be ready with the answer on Tuesday comes true to his word and I know he has done it in the past. I have no reason to doubt him and I think it is proper to indulge him until Tuesday. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I want to support Dr. Khalwale’s sentiments, I also wanted to request, through the Chair whether the Assistant Minister could tell us whether they have already airlifted these kids from Mozambique and that they are in safe custody of the residence of the Ambassador in Harare because that is what it should in ordinary sense if this Ministry cares for Kenyans abroad. view
