Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Ministry, together with Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) and all the other stakeholders, who were involved in the formulation this Bill. This is an important Bill for the workers of this country. It is very clear that the Ninth Parliament has the welfare of workers at heart. view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to take this opportunity again to thank the Minister, his Permanent Secretary, his team and all the other stakeholders who were involved in the formulation of this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am one of the people who was happy that those amendments were there. Kenyans have a lot of confidence in the Industrial Court.

Since Independence, it is ... view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, indeed, today is a happy day for me. I was sad when this amendment came because it was bringing the Judiciary into Parliament by saying that the consent must be given by the Chief Justice. Now that, that has been deleted, I am a very happy man. The Judiciary should not be brought in Parliament! view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to The Biosafety Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me begin by saying that this Bill could not have come at a better time. It should have come yesterday. I am saying this because, at the moment, we have no authority that monitors or even regulates various GMOs that may be brought into this country. So, at the moment, we do not know what is in this country, who brought it and what it was for. So, I think the first thing that ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: and The Standard . We have other newspapers like The People, Kenya Times - It used to be called "Kenya Sometimes" but now it is appearing daily. So it is now Kenya Times . We now have the Nairobi Star and others like the second generation. I do not want to call them "gutter press" as other people call them. The Authority should also be allowed to put an advertisement in those newspapers. So, I will recommend that the Minister removes the words "nationwide circulation" to give room to other newspapers that are now in circulation. As I had explained, ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard how Mr. Sambu has praised the Government for opening Rivatex! He has also praised His Excellency the President for doing a wonderful job and agreeing to re-open Rivatex factory tomorrow. Am I in order to find out why he is not supporting his re-election? view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, the Committee did not even consult you on this very important issue! Secondly, a number of people were not invited to give their side of the story. Thirdly, even those who have left offices can later on assume public offices. That is not a good excuse for not having called them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to move the Motion that the debate on this Motion be adjourned until the people are summoned. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o say that the appointment of the Managing Director of Kenya Ports Authority was not done on merit. I would like him to substantiate how it was not done on merit. view

Let me take also take this opportunity to congratulate the Chairman of the PIC, hon. Justin Muturi, a good friend of mine and a classmate, for a job well done. It is very clear that the Committee has done a fantastic job. It had more than 62 sittings. They interviewed many people and witnesses ... view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister, the Permanent Secretary and all the people who were involved in the preparation of this Bill. This shows that when the private sector, the Central Organisation for Trade Union (COTU) and other players are together and co-operate--- When a law is preceded by a commission, its passage in this House actually becomes very easy, forthright and has very few amendments. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Departmental Committee 4148 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 25, 2007 on Health, view
