• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose the deletion. We should not try to legislate administrative matters. Very soon, we will have an Act of Parliament that deals with the Ministries and the various portfolios. We have not reached there. If everytime there is change in the administration, an administrative matter is brought to Parliament, this House will be too busy trying to amend various administrative notices. This is the purpose of this Bill. Let us leave it to the Head of the Government to decide which portfolio, Ministry or officer should be dealing with the matter. view

• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand here to plead, beseech and pray that we be fair. These constitutional office holders have not had a salary increment since 2001 to the extent that some of their juniors are now earning higher salaries than them because others have had their salary increments.

And from a practical point of view, I am sure that if we increase the salaries of judges, the ... view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I can remember when this issue came on the Floor of this House, the Chair ruled that it is only the Attorney-General who can bring amendments. So I think it is in order for the Attorney-General to bring the amendments. The Speaker and Minister for Finance approved this. Therefore, we should proceed and listen to the amendment the Attorney-General is moving. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is nothing new which is being done. Ministers are already receiving their ministerial allowances. They have been receiving it for the last four or five years. Assistant Ministers have also been receiving their Ministerial allowances. Even members of the Parliamentary Service Commission have been receiving these allowances. We must remove the embarrassment we have caused the Parliamentary Service Commissioners. They have been taken to court because Parliament did not do its job of rectifying and legalising this. As I speak, hon. David Musila, Dr. Ali, J.J. Kamotho, Norman Nyagah, Daniel Khamasi, Sambu, Samuel and ... view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beseech, ask and request this House to legalize and rectify this, so as to stop embarrassing our Commissioners. view

• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: I have looked at the names of the proposed commissioners. I have no doubt that Amb. Bethwel Kiplagat, Mr. Thomas, Letangule, Margaret Shava, Tom Ojienda, Rev. Timothy Njoya, Ms. Betty Murungi, Abubakar Zein, Ms. Tekla Namachanja and Maj- Gen. Rtd Ahmed Sheikh, will do a good job. Even the people appointed by the panel of eminent persons, these are: Getrude Chawatamu from Zambia, Mr. BerhanuDinka from Ethiopia and Mr. Ronald Sly from the United States of America, will do a good job. This Commission should have been appointed yesterday, so that it can go into all these causes like what ... view
