• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) how long it takes a Kenyan to obtain a new national identity card or replacement of a lost one upon application; (b) when the forms bearing Serial numbers 2276151157, 2264792765, 2253246922, 2269263157, 2272603401, 2260975963, 2264804604, 2277590052, 2273990196, 2296464536, 2261300711 and 2271853683 were received at the Registration of Persons Headquarters and whether he could provide particulars of the applicants, including their respective names, age, place and date of application and home district as well as the respective stages of the application; and, (c) when the identity cards will be ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to thank the honourable Minister, at least, for once. Since I brought this Question, there has been some considerable delivery of identity cards to Tana River District as a whole and Bura Constituency in particular. Even for some of the applicants whom the Minister has said they should reapply, some of them have been reapplying for the second generation identity card for the last four years. In fact, every time the data gets here, they are frustrated and, at the last minute, they are told that their data cannot be traced. Some of ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you also for giving leverage to hon. Members to, at least, prosecute this issue because it is an issue that is so view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister wants to refute the fact that Vision 2030, despite being a wonderful document, is a document whose ownership is by a few technocrats based in Nairobi. He said that they involved assistant chiefs and chiefs in the preparation of the document. This is not the correct position. If any chiefs were consulted, they are not the ones in Tana River or Isiolo counties. Even the Member of Parliament for Isiolo, who was in the Ninth Parliament, said in one of the conferences that even about the model airport that is supposed to be built ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Minister in order to avoid stating the fact that, indeed, there was time? A Bill was supposed to have been in this House before November. It is just a matter of owning up and saying: “Fine, we agreed with Members of Parliament but it was a failure on our part”. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the same line, I want to ask whether the Assistant Minister has arranged with some powerful people who have buses, so that they get a booming business on the day the matatus will go on strike. The fact that he says he is not aware surprises me most because even a child in this country is aware. Is he planning to enrich a few people on the days the matatus go on strike? view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Affey has quoted the Constitution extensively and I want to draw your attention to Standing Order No.55, which talks about amendments to be relevant to Motions. In this case, it also applies to Bills. Standing Order No.55(2) says:- view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: “No amendment shall be permitted if, in the opinion of the Speaker, it represents a direct negative of the Question Proposed.” view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we passed this Bill, we had proposed a total repeal of this law. The present amendment here states the contrary. The Act that we are asking for its repeal should still be entrenched in the Constitution albeit being said that it has been amended. In my opinion - and I also request for your concurrence in this - it is a complete negative of what we had proposed and passed as a House - that this law be repealed. In that line, I would ask for your guidance on whether this Motion is before ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Mungatana has raised grievous concerns that the Attorney-General should have addressed. In addressing, he has given us the chronology of events when this Bill was passed by this House to the date when the President received it. It is not the business of this House to know when the President received the Bill because the Attorney-General, who is also a Member of this House, should have transmitted the Bill once it was passed by this House. That is why the Attorney-General is a Member of this House. As to ... view
