• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would really like the Member proposing the amendment to explain it further why that amendment is being proposed. I do not understand its import by deleting the power to co-opt which is pretty humble or very polite power we are giving.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I will be very brief, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think by submitting these regulations to the House, really is not submitting them to the public. This House through the Committees of Parliament deals with extremely sensitive information. I do not think that regulations will be any less sensitive than those issues that this House already handles. It is very important that when it comes to the classification of information, this House should be in a position to look at those regulations. Remember, the Constitution gives the people of Kenya the right of access to Government information. So, I think ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am supporting the inclusion of the Cabinet Secretary for the time being responsible for culture. This is because I would like us to have some cultural content in the manner in which we treat such offices. For example, one of the things we should do, even these robes that we wear have nothing to do with our cultures. All those sheep skin that our Speaker puts on his head have nothing to do with our culture. So, I think there should be an input during this transition so that the handing over ceremony is ... view

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to make one thing clear. The word “consultation” does not mean that the Director-General will act under the directive. Consultation is really different from directive. Secondly, we should not fear the Council or the Commission being consulted because apparently the amendment gives the impression that if we consult, the disciplinary course will not be taken. I think that is a wrong assumption. It is very important that in matters of discipline ... view
