• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, could we get an indication from the Government as to whether there will be rearrangement of the distribution of portfolios of duty? As you remember, we had a problem here when the Minister in charge of that particular docket said that the only thing he is dealing with now is distribution of food, and not emergency issues such as the floods in Budalangi. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, previously, they were all part of special programmes. Does the Government intend to return that "emergency docket" to the correct Ministry instead of taking it to the ... view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, could the Minister enlighten this House September 11, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3813 whether any part of the money that we are voting for the Ministry of Lands will be spent in the implementation of the Ndung'u Report in full? view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, a passport of a country is a security document, the printing of which should really be attended to by the best possible safeguards to ensure that it is not easily forgeable. When we recently visited Venezuela as the Departmental Committee on the Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs, we were asked for our Kenyan passports. They were put into a machine and we were told that it is a very easy passport to forge. As the Minister is aware, his Ministry recently gave a contract for printing of Kenyan passports, a security document, to a ... view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to commend the Ministry. If I may site the case of Kabete Constituency, they have taken steps to preserve Fort Smith as one of our national heritage. Fort Smith is where Waiyaki Wa Hinga spent his last night before he was marched to Kibwezi to be killed by the colonialists. The graves of those early "White" people are also there. That is part of our history and the Ministry has recently given instructions for it to be preserved as a national heritage. The Ministry has also given instructions for the preservation of ... view

• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, my single point is about this issue of monkeys in Nashe Sub-Location of Karai Location of Kikuyu Constituency. I wrote a letter to the September 11, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3821 Director of KWS with a copy to the Minister and there was not even a courtesy of a reply. It is now over six weeks. Could the Minister take charge? This KWS is under the Minister and it is not right for him to tell me that he also spoke to the Director of KWS. They have not been there and I have not even ... view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe what the House wants to know is the amount of money likely to be paid. The Attorney-General says it has not been paid yet. He has already listed the things they will take into account when deciding how much to pay. Could he give a figure to this House as to how much they are likely to pay these lawyers? view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at Section 16 of the current Constitution, you will see in the marginal note the year 1997. This note came in after the Inter- Parties Parliament Group (IPPG) talks, when Section 16 was amended to say that, subject to any written law, the President can appoint Ministers and Assistant Ministers from amongst Members of Parliament. The written law to which Section 16 was made subject is the National Assembly and Presidential Elections Act. In 1997, after the IPPG consensus, the words "concurrence of the party" were put in the National Assembly and ... view
