• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: seconded. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I will not go into the Bill itself because it has been adequately ventilated on. I will just go to the more important issue of basically educating and guiding the new body we are going to establish, so that it does not make the same mistakes that the Ligale Commission made. It is important to say this, so that when the new body brings its report to this House, it does not end in controversy as it happened with the Ligale ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Ligale Commission went wrong on five issues; the first one being the classification of cities. According to the Report of the Ligale Commission, there is only one city in Kenya, yet we know that there are two other cities, namely; Mombasa and Kisumu. Can you imagine somebody going to Kisumu and telling the residents, particularly at the Bus Park, that Kisumu is not a city, yet we celebrated 100 years of the existence of Kisumu City only recently? A song was even formulated on Kisumu City. That was wrong. The Ligale Commission made a mistake. ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: You do not come from Kisumu City, hon. Ruteere. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is not that you do not want this Bill to be passed; myself and hon. Ethuro have been here for the last two weeks. We had agreed with the Minister that after I and hon. Ethuro speak, debate on this Bill can be brought to a closure. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was just saying that, really, what I am saying has not been repeated by anybody. As I said, I will not go into the details of the specific clauses of the Bill, because the contents of this Bill have been ventilated on by other hon. Members. I was requesting the new body we are going to form not to make the same mistakes that the Ligale Commission made. If they do so, their report will end up in controversy. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, according to the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on this point of order with a lot of reluctance, but I do not think we should allow the Member of Parliament to breach our Standing Orders, which are very clear; that, we do not discuss the conduct of a head of state in Parliament. In fact, he has said; “shame” to the President of the sovereign Republic of Uganda. view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second this very important Bill. I think the Minister has clearly explained why it was necessary. I think three or four amendments have been put in the Bill to make it relevant. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think Kenya is in the Guinness Book of World Records; it is the only country as of now without a Chief Justice. What a sad day this is! It is now very clear that before chase away another officer, we must make arrangements for a replacement. Before this is done, then that officer should continue performing ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, because there are only three amendments if you compare this new Bill with the old one, I beg to second. view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to correct this. The hon. Member has said that under Section 254, the Commissions are supposed to report to the President. I think it would be better if he were to correct that. This is because I have a copy of the Constitution and it says “to the President and to Parliament.” So, it is both institutions and not just one. view
