• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just continue saying what I was saying. That is because what I was saying was really fundamental. Kenyans today, in the opinion poll that was carried out in the FM stations and televisions, which I watched very keenly, already showed that they do not have confidence with the work that the current Director of KACC is doing. The horse-trading we do in this House, sometimes, will cost us. I want us to be very clear. The man, whose name I cannot mention, came into this House and was brought through a lot of ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Energy the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Why did the Ministry decline to award a scholarship to one Ms. Mugure Thande - who has been admitted to pursue a PhD in Oil and Gas Law at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland - from the Trust Fund established under the provisions of Section 11 of the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, Cap 308? (b) What measures will the Minister take to ensure that the applicant is considered to enable her pursue the studies which commence in October, 2011? view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your guidance because the Assistant Minister has answered the same way he answered last time. The reason why he was told to go back was to acquaint himself with the relevant Act, Cap.308, which clearly states that: “There shall be established a fund for the purpose of training Kenyan nationals”. Last time, he was insisting that this fund is for people working in the Civil Service. He has not clarified whether the Act, which I have quoted and which he was asked to acquaint himself with, because at that time he did not seem ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is obvious that the Assistant Minister is interpreting it in his own understanding of the English Language. It says: “Kenyan nationals in the petroleum industry!” In short, it is saying anybody who wants to go into the petroleum industry and meets that qualification; this fund is for that Kenyan national. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, much as I appreciate your ruling on this issue, I feel that because this lady has shown interest in the PhD in the petroleum industry exploration of which we are giving a lot of money here and there are no Kenyans qualified, if the Ministry, as my colleague has asked, would consider this lady who is interested in doing exploration in the petroleum industry either with this fund or a matching fund that I am sure can be found within the other Government Ministries. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: It was debated yesterday! view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: It is okay! Let them see! view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also really want to convince my good friend, Ms. Karua and the Minister that the reasoning behind the agreement of amalgamating these Bills to get one for the Kenya National Human Rights Commission and the other for the Gender and Equality Commission was with the realization that the Ombudsman would come under the Kenya National Human Rights Commission. Because that decision has not been made, the logic of putting a Gender and Equality Commission that is effective was also to allow for regional view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to convince the good Minister that, that is such a vital role. I had an experience where, with certain women organizations and some women Parliamentarians, we had to raid the home of a woman who had been kept in the house for three months without medication for her children. The police, themselves, were part of the syndicate. So, this is very necessary and I would like to ask the Minister to allow that Clause to remain. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I would like that amendment to the Clause to be withdrawn. view
