6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also listened to the statement that has been made by the Chief Justice and at no time have we heard the Chief Justice defending the decision of the High Court on merit. That would actually embarrass him if he sat on the appeal. He has merely sought to defend the principle that if you have any issue with the decision, the right pattern and the right thing to do is to go on appeal. Is it in order, therefore, for the Executive to keep attacking the Chief Justice for doing that which he has actually ...

6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. The Assistant Minister has said that the consultants have taken over the work that the doctors have been performing. Is the Assistant Minister saying that the work the doctors, who are over 2,300 do can very easily be taken over by other consultants and, therefore, they have been redundant or something? Can this Government demonstrate to this country that one of the biggest problems we have is brain drain; that is training doctors at public expense, only for us to end up losing them to countries like Namibia, Botswana, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to acknowledge or appreciate the move by the HBC with regard to getting back to life this Committee. The only concern that I have is that the HBC should ensure that Standing Orders are clearly followed. I am not aware of any rule under the Standing Orders pursuant to which a political party having appointed its own members can withdraw them

30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
There is no Standing Order saying so. The only issue that would arise is for Members who have actually resigned in writing. As far as I am aware, it is only one Member who has done so in writing and left. We will, therefore, also ask that the HBC ensures that as per the Standing Order No.176, the Member who has resigned in writing is replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise, there has been no disagreement as such within the Committee. It is Parliament itself through the HBC that literally paralyzed this Committee by depriving it even the secretariat services.

29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is a follow up with the Deputy Leader of Government Business. I would like him to confirm matters relating to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. About two weeks ago, the Leader of Government Business assured this House that the House Business Committee would have finally resolved the controversy surrounding this Committee. The solution was expected to come by Tuesday, last week but to date there has been no word about it. As you may be aware, and, indeed, you are aware, there is some business relating ...

29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this very important Bill. I would also want to thank hon. Eugene Wamalwa for bringing in this suggestion. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the gist of the amendments as proposed makes a lot of sense, in that it is actually an attempt to intervene in favour of a section of society which for many years has been neglected, or has actually been left out. Indeed, when you look at the result of allowing open operations, it is that the best players take all, so to speak. ...
