• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: I would like to take this opportunity and request the other Ministers also to bring Bills to Parliament so that other professions can also regulate their affairs. This is the way to go. We must give other bodies the legal ability to regulate their affairs for the good of this country. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. I will give three reasons as to why I think this amendment is necessary. Firstly, the Prime Minister's Time will be on Wednesdays, while that of the Leader of Government Business will be on Thursdays. So, clearly, there is no conflict. Secondly, there is no competition between the two offices. I do not know where the impression that there will be competition is coming from. There is no competition. The two offices are working well. So, there is no competition at all. Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, in fact, initially, we ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I thought that was just a point of argument. I said that the information he gave us is not strictly correct. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir. I also support the amendment. It is important that we now start institutionalising the organs of this House. We have now institutionalised the Office of the Prime Minister and the Leader of Government Business. We should support the amendment so that we also institutionalise the Office of the Leader of Official Opposition. This is because we may be in circumstances which we cannot be able to predict at the moment. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank hon. Gitobu Imanyara and his Committee for the good work they have done in revising our Standing Orders which was long overdue. Even more, I congratulate them in the sense that they bid on the work that the former Deputy Speaker, Mr. David Musila started. Some committees would have tried to do it afresh but they decided to look at what the previous committee had done, bid and improved on it. I think they have done a wonderful job. Congratulations, hon. Gitobu Imanyara for a job well done! view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Minister for agreeing to the amendments proposed by the Committee. It shows that if Ministers could work jointly with Parliamentary Committees, it would make the work of this Parliament so much simpler, and we could achieve so many things and pass so many Acts of Parliament. I think the other Ministers should emulate the example of the Minister for Industrialization. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would take like to take this opportunity to thank the Departmental Committee on Health, Housing, Labour and Social Welfare for agreeing to work jointly with the Minister. You have seen what we have achieved because of them agreeing to work together. I would like to request the other Committees to work with the Ministers. It will make our work in Parliament much easier. Thank you. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, again, I would like to emphasize the importance of the parliamentary Departmental Committees working jointly with the Ministers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Departmental Committees are our eyes and ears! They are the ones that interrogate these Bills. It is important that they work together with the various Ministries. That makes our work much, much easier. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wish to take this opportunity to thank the Minister for Industrialisation for having brought up this Bill which we have now passed into an Act of Parliament. I also want to congratulate him for the way he has worked very closely with the relevant Parliamentary Departmental Committee. It is through their effort that this Bill was able to sail so smoothly. I would like to request other Ministers and Departmental Committees to work closely, because the parliamentary Committees are the eyes and ears of other Members of Parliament. This is because they cannot ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to put on record this House's appreciation of the efforts that were started by Mr. Oloo Aringo. He is the one who started this process. Unfortunately, he was not able to make it back to the Tenth Parliament. His work was built upon by Messrs. Mbau and Ogindo. I also want to thank them for their efforts to make sure that this Bill has seen the light of the day. We, as Parliament, will now have the power to interrogate the Budget-making process and refuse to be ambushed. We, as ... view
