• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because you have taken time, allow me also to take more time. We, as Members of Parliament, were taken through this for two days by the task force. So, I kind of understand where the problem is. If you listen to the Minister you will hear his contradictions because what you are quoting is something that must be put under a structured legislated in this House. So, the contradiction is: Yes, there is goodwill from the Government which should be there. Yes, county governments need to start preparations. They must be prepared, but under what? ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, due to the heavy workload we had last week, Statements were deferred to this week and the Minister of State for Public Service did indicate to me that he will issue the Ministerial Statement I requested today. I would like to know the status of that Statement. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was about a circular that had been issued on the seconding of staff to the counties. The Statement was to be issued by the Minister of State for Public Service. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also oppose this Motion. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, over 500 women just came a few minutes ago to the gates of this Parliament and have told us in no clear terms that what we are doing here is unconstitutional.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you have heard clearly what Mr. Mbadi has said; that this amendment proposed by Ms. Noor is a lazy amendment. We have had amendments brought numerously here today on the Floor. Nobody has been accused of bringing a lazy amendment. This is the work of Parliament. Is it in order for Mr. Mbadi to abuse and again insult Ms. Noor? view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we conclude this day, I would like us to know that we have been misleading and misrepresenting ourselves as leaders of this House in terms of the support of the two-thirds principle in the Constitution. It is our work as legislators to come up with suggestions and proposals on this Floor. We have attempted as much as we can, as women legislators. Today is a sad day for us. Even as we support this; let us know that we have disappointed the women folk in this country. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in support of that Petition, it would be good to remind the House that we have also been speaking about environmental conservation and, especially, the interference with ecosystems. Just recently, we debated the issue of the dam that is being built in Ethiopia in relation to the Turkana people. So, this is just a small scale of what is happening there but, in equal scale and equal measure, there must be quick resolution to this Petition that has been brought on behalf of the people of Kimilili. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, we understand your concern which is genuine. However, the Constitution says that the current Parliament plays both the role of the Senate and the National Assembly in the transition period. view
