• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member seems to be reading his questions from a written document. Is he aware that our Standing Orders do not allow Members to read statements? view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this Bill. Before I begin, I have found out that the tongues of a few men in this House seem to have a problem and they are still calling you "Mr. Speaker, Sir". I think they had better get used to it. I think these are the things which will be 500 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 16, 2008 coming and we need to teach our tongues to say exactly "Madam Speaker". Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very clear that this is a good piece ... view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the current Initial Public Offer (IPO) of Safaricom, where Kshs10 billion worth of shares are being sold, assuming that all the investors will purchase the minimum shares, we will be talking about two million shareholders. Sending accounting documents to two million shareholders will be very expensive. I do not know where two million shareholders can meet in this country. I do not know where they would meet. We need to rectify that. Even if they were to meet at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), they would not all be accommodated. ... view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the Motion. As it has been explained very clearly by the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, it is necessary to April 15, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 439 reduce the publication period of this Bill to enable the House to consider and pass it. view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is important for you to give guidance to this House. The speaker on the Floor has been appointed Assistant Minister. This is a Government Motion and yet he has stood up to say that he is opposed to the Motion. I think you need to give us some guidance. view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we import fertiliser every year. Could the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs inform the House what plans the Government has to establish a fertiliser factory in this country locally? view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend the Government for provision of free secondary education. However, a very large proportion of our population is missing out. These are students in private and missionary schools. Could the Minister instruct the Ministry that up to a certain amount of money be provided for students in private and missionary schools? These are also Kenyans and they pay taxes! view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas we commend the Minister for Local Government for trying to decongest the City of Nairobi, but if you look at other countries, it is the taxis and the public service vehicles that are actually allowed into the city centre. It is the private vehicles that pay a congestion charge for accessing the city centre. But here, we are doing it the other way round. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue which I would like him to clarify is: One public service vehicle, for example, a Nissan matatu, carries, at least, 14 passengers, while one ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Yes! It happens! It has happened in the State of California--- view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could the Minister consider ordering private car owners to be carrying a few passengers to town? Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister also consider having one-way streets? For example, I know that there was a suggestion that Moi Avenue, Tom Mboya Street, Ngong Road and Langata Road be made one-way. view
