• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the key words here are “Parliament shall enact”. The Constitution does not say that it should be done in any other way. Therefore, I feel that it is unconstitutional to have two Commissions set up in this manner. Article 59(1) of the Constitution establishes the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission. Article 59(4), that I have just quoted, vests the power in Parliament to legislate. I am wondering whether the Bills that were sent to the Minister and the alternative Bill that was sent for his perusal make any impression on him, and whether, ... view

• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister in order to give a commitment of three months when he is aware that when he appeared before the Departmental Committee on Local Authorities, he clearly said that they would be unable to proceed with work on any market because they had no funds available? He is now giving a commitment that he will do it in three months’ time. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I want to thank Mr. Gumbo for bringing it here. However, I understand that there is already a budget for this in the Ministry of Education. The Prime Minister has already made a Statement and it has been acted on by the Government. For that, I want to thank the Government for being sensitive to this. Linking that with this Motion, may I suggest that, as the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation has just brought to our attention, let us focus on the issue of toilets. The number ... view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Githae has very well and eloquently put the case that you should not campaign for a candidate of another party according to this Bill. I was wondering whether ethically he is even right to support this Bill because he, himself supported another party instead of his NARC(K) party. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Although we are enjoying this very long sensational speech, I was hoping that in the spirit of timeliness, we could perhaps give a chance to one or two other Members and then perhaps pass this Bill today. view

• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for giving a detailed answer. However, I am concerned to note that the rationing of electricity is affecting industries. That is like cutting your throat to spite your face. I was wondering whether the Ministry is aware of Vision 2030 goals and the importance of one of the most important economic pillars - that is the industries. If you are now killing the industries, how are you going to generate wealth? Is there no other way to cut power elsewhere and give industries regular power, instead of the eight ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week, the Assistant Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources who is here gave us an undertaking that no GMO maize will be imported into this country until it is approved. As of Thursday last week, she confirmed that there was no GMO maize that had been imported at all. Could the Prime Minister clarify whether that is the Government position or that was just the position of the Assistant Minister? view
