• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Something is disturbing me and I hope the Minister can help me. Which party does he belong to as he lectures us on the manifestos et cetera ? view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have listened to hon. Kimunya as he sought to explain how pained the Chief Whips were when trying to fit women into committees; he was speaking about women being overstretched. I am aware of certain men in this House who sit in more than five committees. I have never heard that they are overstretched. With all due respect to Mr. Kimunya and the HBC, I really feel that we will not allow a committee as important as the CDF Committee to go without the one-third women representation. Let it be ... view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not mind the information. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is important for my colleagues to understand that the reason for the issue of one-third is now constitutional as we promulgated a new Constitution. When we were making the other Committees, we did not have this new Constitution. We now have a new Constitution which we swore not to violate. When we go for election under this new Constitution, one-third rule will be followed. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I will ask for your ruling. We are not doing this rightly. This country has been taken to a crisis because of this issue when the Chief Justice, the Deputy Chief Justice and the Director of Public Prosecutions were being appointed. We are now awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on the same and we will ask humbly that this House also makes a ruling. We cannot be the ones violating the Constitution when we are the people who are supposed to be implementing it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still ask that you rule whether ... view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I know exactly what my good friend, Mr. Mbadi, is trying to do. However, we should not forget that the Chair needs to give us direction before we can allow this debate to go on. You have not given direction on the one-third rule. I am again humbly asking you to give this ruling. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it really in order? The Minister always stands here to tell us how he is lacking funds and that is why he has had insecurity issues. He has always agitated for the rights of his police officers, but he now stands up and rejects money what this House is ready to give, so that we can alleviate the problems that he is always brings to this House! Is it in order for the Minister to go against his own words on the Floor of the House? view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: You are not above the House! view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: If there is no other interest in this matter, I will ask the Minister to respond. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support. I must say that my conviction has become more clear when the Minister was explaining what those particular guarantees would be for. We have spoken too long in this House about disaster management, disaster preparedness and the green energy - which is the alternative energy. We need to invest in it in this country. It is an investment that is never light. So, we must take responsibility and I am glad that the Government is doing this. Even as we give these guarantees, I would like to urge the ... view
