• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to seek for two Ministerial Statements. First, I would like the Minister for Education to issue a Ministerial Statement regarding the position of the Vice-Chancellor of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), whose contract ended some time last year. However, he is still in the office. The position was advertised. The deadline for those interested to submit their applications was last Thursday. So far, no short-listing or interviews have been conducted. Yet today, the outgoing Vice-Chancellor is supposed to have been re-appointed; without interviews or 374 ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am raising the issue because of what is happening in my constituency today. Some police officers, who shot and killed people early this year, are still harassing my constituents. That is why I am seeking that clarification.

• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have heard the hon. Member say that during the campaigns, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) pledged to make every constituency a district. We campaigned all over the country and I did not hear any ODM candidate say that. This is not even in our manifesto. Is he in order to mislead the House? view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Standing Orders do not allow hon. Members to bring into the Chamber small bags. There is an hon.

• 11 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. This Committee is quite representative and it is my belief that when the Whips were compiling this list, they consulted widely within their parties although there is this issue of gender balance, which I think is a bit lopsided and ought to have been looked at. Otherwise, I wish to put it to the Committee that we would not like to see what happened in the Ninth Parliament where most of the Bills did not come to the Floor of the House. Ministers kept away so many Government Bills that were ... view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Behind you there is someone who is improperly dressed! She is standing there. view
