• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know there is one thing that is missing from this list of delegation. That is there is not a single Minister or Assistant Minister in this delegation. There are Ministers and Assistant Ministers who are fond of the IPU who like to participate in the deliberations. Therefore, there should be the right mix as you take on the Backbenchers; you should also take one Minister or Assistant Minister, so that they learn the operations and deliberations of the IPU. view
• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the three topics covered were very opportune. I am particularly interested in the climate change. We are the cause and view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to air my views on this important Motion. As the temporary acting Leader of Government Business, we support this Motion. view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: I would also like to take this opportunity to commend the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs for the way they have handled this issue. An event is good as the procedure. I think they used the right procedure. They interviewed many people and these two, namely Mr. Wilson Kiprotich and Dr. John Mutonyi came out the best. view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: We must also commend the KACC headed by Justice Ringera for the manner in which they have tackled corruption in this country. I know they have been unable to eliminate corruption, but the vice has reduced. We now have cases where top Government officials have been taken to court. The accusation has always been that the net of the KACC catches the “small fish” only. The “big fish” is now unable to slip through the net. We have had cases of not only retired Permanent Secretaries, but also current ones being taken to court. That shows that the Commission is ... view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have never misled Parliament and I have no intention of doing so. However, my friend Ms. Odhiambo is actually confirming what I have said. This nomination should have been done by the Executive and then send the list to Parliament which ought to have vetted them. However, we are doing things the other way round, but I do not want to belabour that point. That is the law as of now. In the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill which is normally brought to the House in October or November, this will be one of ... view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: With regard to salaries, the salary of the Director of KACC was formulated by the Advisory Board. If there is a person to be blamed for the high salary, then it is that Board. It is the one that came up with this salary. The intention was to insulate the Director from temptation. I think to that extent, they have succeeded. However, his salary has been questioned and probably, it is the new Board, as soon as it is gazetted, for it to look at all these salaries. Salaries should be done in relation to other bodies. I have said ... view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also need to reform our salaries. At the moment, the only people who get huge salaries are those who have some leverage on the Government; that is, those who can negotiate their salaries. What about those who cannot negotiate their salaries? How will they achieve meaningful salaries? We need to reform view
