• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, two weeks is enough, considering the fact that this is the second time I have requested this Statement. I made the first request sometime last year but the Session lapsed before I got a response. I am now trying to request it again. I am okay with two weeks. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you. I rise to contribute in support of the National Flag, Emblems and Names (Amendment) Bill. First, I want to thank hon. Keynan for taking time to bring this amendment to this House. This Bill is meant to bring some sanity in the use of national flags and emblems because the route this country is taking is creating a bit of confusion. This is likely to occur as is happening in Nigeria and South Sudan, where national flags are being hoisted on private houses; we do not want this to happen in Kenya. The National flag ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The use of the national flag by county governors and county executive committees must be corrected, because this dilutes the purpose the flag is meant for; it creates a lot of confusion because you cannot know when the President is flying it or when the county executive committee member is flying it. This is a confusion of the highest order. The county governors, if they must fly a particular flag, must fly flags bearing the county emblems as suggested by hon. Abongotum. This resonates with the current debate that there is a national Government and county governments. Why do the ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with that short contribution, I beg to support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chair and appreciate what he has brought to this House in the form of a report. However, I want to say that the report which has just been read on the issues that I raised is shallow, inadequate and if it were to be ranked, it is below average. This is because the specific things which I thought would be addressed in that Statement have not been touched. It is just a general statement. If you look at the time which has been taken to issue ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I have not been requested to appear before the Committee to interrogate the officer or the person who this Statement was directed to. I do not know because I also belong to this Committee. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. However, the request for this Statement has never been brought to the Committee. That is my argument. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Statement should be referred to the Committee, so that the officer in charge can be interrogated at that level. This is something I have followed up since I came to this House. I am not getting any response from the Office of the President. That is why I had to seek the Statement from the House. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding distribution of Government relief food, carried out as a special programme through the former office of the District Commissioner, currently the Deputy County Commissioner. Due to drought and other humanitarian crises all over the country, many Kenyans continue to be vulnerable to starvation, thus requiring relief food. The most vulnerable are children, the very poor, orphans, the elderly and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire and report on ... view
