• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the response given by the Prime Minister, it is clear that these Commissioners have been heard saying that they will not be performing full time and they are demoralized. What has the Government done about this stigma or demoralization so that these Commissioners perform their delegated responsibilities? view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also take the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. At the outset, let me thank the current Speaker, particularly for steering the current parliamentary proceedings, and hope that in future he will get another opportunity. Let me also thank the Chairman of the Parliamentary Broadcasting Committee, Eng. Gumbo, for his stewardship. Without that diligent stewardship, this report would not have come in here in good time as has happened. I also thank the members of the committee for participating in its affairs effectively. I also note that they have held many ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am trying to go back to this particular day and remember what really took place. This sound interference caused some apprehension in this House, and almost paralyzed its operations. There were even suggestions that deliberations be stopped to investigate this unique sound interference. Even Kenyans outside there were appalled by the development that took place in this House. The trigger of this problem was the parliamentary address system that has been noted to be outdated and needs to be upgraded. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, call upon the Parliamentary Service Commission to urgently set aside funds so that this system in this Parliament is updated as required. One of the fantastic recommendations made by this Committee is the acquisition of a de-mobilizer that will stop interferences from other activities that are likely to be taking place within this area. Occurrences of this nature will not be taken very kindly by this House, with these very strong recommendations. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Therefore, it is my view and the view of this House that the current public address system should be overhauled to maintain the dignity of this House. This is the Kenya National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya and over 40 million Kenyans watch what really happens here. Therefore, to rekindle the confidence and our confidence in this House, replacement of the current public address system should be done with immediate effect. I request the restoration of free-flow of information through acquisition of the required public address system. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I fully support the recommendations contained in this report. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While we are happy with the good answer that was given by the Assistant Minister, he should tell us the steps the Ministry has taken to improve the quality of service of the mobile providers particularly in the rural areas where the reception is poor. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to also contribute to this very important Bill. Let me, first of all, thank the Mover, Mr. Mungatana, for this very critical Bill. The public office appointments have been done in this country and yet well qualified Kenyans did not have them. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that era has already caused havoc in terms of destroying the fabric that should have continued in this country. I wish to recall appointments made in the past through tribal inclination, favoritism and, at times, very inexperienced Chief Executive Officers were given these appointments. The consequences have been disastrous. view
