• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will lay the names of those schools on the Table--- view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is only fair that, if those schools brought the issue to me in total confidence of my ability to bring this Question to Parliament, it is only fair that I consult them about laying their names on the Table here. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will ask the schools to bring the results to me and I will lay them on the Table by next week. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would just like clarity on one simple issue that is really the basis of this Question. This drink is marketed as "an adult non alcoholic" drink and this has been quoted here. Could the Minister tell us in a simple way that is understandable to Kenyans if this drink is meant for children who are now the greatest consumers; I mean primary and secondary school children? Is this drink meant for children? view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Motion. I will start by urging the PSC to lead by example on an issue which has brought a lot of concern to the citizens of this country; the exclusion of some sectors which play a vital role in enhancement of living as one community in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is simply asking for fairness in respect of women, young people and the diverse communities represented in this House. We have raised this issue as women parliamentarians for long, and we are beginning to sound ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was raising the issue of the authority of the pronouncement by the President. I was urging this House to lead by example and show that the pronouncements of the President mean something. Also, on the issue of regional balance, we have seen - after what we have gone through in this country - that we are striving to bring national cohesion in this country. I do not think it will be asking much to ensure that the Parliamentary Service Commission ensures that regional balance is adhered to in its formation. I think it will ... view
• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us what they intend to do about the Dandora Dumping Site, that is situated within a highly populated area and it is causing a lot of damage to the environment around that area? It is also causing a lot of diseases to the children who are born in that area. view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Motion and thank the hon. Member who has brought it to the House. However, I would like to raise a few issues on the composition of the Committee, and the way the Motion has been framed. I would like to seek the indulgence of the Mover of this Motion to consider the composition, or representation of the hon. Members of the Committee. I believe, as the previous speaker has said, that even areas July 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2027 where these illegal groupings have not gone to, people need to be ... view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: If we just have in it hon. Members who are affected, we could end up having a Committee that is busy blaming each other and fighting instead of coming up with solutions. Also in the way the Motion has been framed, the language, for me, is more of police language; it says we want to investigate; we want to know--- I would like this Committee to be more of a Committee that will bring understanding, reconciliation and rehabilitation. The young people who belong to these illegal--- I even have a problem calling them that, because to me, we are the ... view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Unlawful groupings, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would want to call upon them to look at this Committee that is being set up by Parliament as the bridge that they need to cross over to the lawful side. I would want them to give us a chance, as Members of Parliament who are elected from the grassroots, because I know that they have been frustrated. They are young people, who are frustrated and they might not necessarily welcome us. I would like to call upon them to open up dialogue with this Committee, because I believe that is why the ... view
