• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my point was very clear that the Executive was being blamed for the delay. I was making the point that the Executive does not supervise the IEBC. The Executive micro-manage the IEBC. The IEBC is an independent body as per the Constitution. Therefore, even the Executive has also been following up on them and asking them when they are going to bring these rules. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support these amendments to enable us to legally fall in line with the schedule given by the Elections Act. I support. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really have no problem. What I am saying is that the House Business Committee, in its wisdom, chose to put it last. This issue was actually discussed by the House Business Committee. Members deliberated on it, debated it, argued and agreed that we give priority to the two Bills, in addition to the Committee. So, this was a negotiated position. I do not see why the Chairman of the PAC is in a hurry to crucify the people mentioned therein. Their time will come. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in addition, there are other Reports on ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to strongly oppose the proposed amendment for four reasons. One, the members proposed to be on the board--- Some of them represent the Government and this is normal in every board that you find. There is the principal secretary, the Ministry of Education, representing the Ministry. That is normal in all the boards. Again, the Principal Secretary, will represent the Minister for the time being responsible for finance; it is normal if you look at the boards that this Parliament has approved. The Attorney- General is the head of the legal education in ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I said, it is not enough just to empower the Cabinet Secretary to appoint a vice- chancellor. The purpose for these appointments is for the Ministries to know what will be happening at the Kenya School of Law (KSL). If the Cabinet Secretary is not able, then he appoints somebody to represent him from the same Ministry. So at the end of a board meeting, then he receives a report. That way, the Cabinet Secretary is aware of what is happening in the institution. I strongly oppose this and it should remain the way ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Mwau to mislead this House that all the institutions have collapsed when permanent secretaries were on those boards without elaborating? Maybe they could have collapsed earlier if the permanent secretaries were not on them. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. They have done a good job; but the point I was making was that it is important for the Government to know what is happening in institutions. A Permanent Secretary, Treasury, is an institution; it is not an individual. There is an Act of Parliament for the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury. It is an institution; it is not an individual. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not see the purpose of this amendment. The Cabinet Secretary in charge of Finance is not there because he likes it or he has nothing else to do but to be there. He is there by virtue of his position; by virtue of the fact that he is the trustee of all Government properties and assets. For example, you will even find that if it is tied to this Parliament, the title is the name of the Permanent Secretary, Treasury. He is not holding it on his behalf but on behalf of the ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I am just wondering whether it is in good faith that if you oppose something, then the Member goes out. Is the point of order by hon. Mbadi actually genuine because the person who has raised it has walked out? Secondly, if the only view
