• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President also tried to clarify on the role of the central and the devolved governments but you find that in the first three years of the transition, I do not think that the devolved governments will be having chiefs to actually decide their duties which the President stated as provision of essential services such as health, water, agriculture and local transport. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need the provision of the transition from the national government to the devolved one to be very clear and they should at least come into effect as the President put it like the deployment of resources, staff and equipment by August. At least by December this year, everything should be very clear to those who will be elected in the next Government. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President also urged Kenyans to elect competent leaders during the next elections. There have been arguments and counter arguments on who a competent leader is where people have been rushing people who want to be country representatives, Members of Parliament, senators and governors masquerading that they are managers and so on. When it comes to leadership, when you are a manager maybe of a company, it does not necessarily mean that you can manage the people on the ground. The management of human beings is quite different from the management of non-human beings in ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with these few remarks, I will say that the President has tried during his term even though the people I represent in my community have always complained that they have been sidelined in employment opportunities, provision of services and so many other things. However, all said and done, at least we have not gone without anything. We have got an extra constituency. So, we say: “Thank you for the little we got.” view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also just wanted to add my voice in support of this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to the last two hon. Members, they spoke very cunningly. They allege that we have had so many realignments or parties coming together. We should be very careful because that is what caused the problems in 2006. This is very clear. Once you have said that it is the political parties that will bring in people, let it be political parties. I have just talked to hon. ole Metito and he said that in ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. This Question was partly answered last time. What we were waiting for was the full settlement of this matter. So far the matter is still before the Industrial Court and it is coming up for hearing on 15th May, this year. So, I would plead with the Member for Juja to wait for the matter to be sorted out in the Industrial Court. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true we offered to arbitrate between the parties and they disagreed. So, the workers through their union opted to go to the Industrial Court so that the matter can be settled there. So, if he can advise the workers, the ones he is pushing for right now, to withdraw the case--- It is their lawyer, Mr. Opiyo who refused to have the matter arbitrated by our officers. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, these people were supposed to record a consent. But on that day when they met they disagreed. The lawyer for the workers, Mr. Opiyo opted for the matter to be heard fully in court. So far, it was heard on 13th March which was last month by Justice Rika. It has been fixed again for hearing on 15th May. It is the workers themselves who want their matter settled in the Industrial Court. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not dictate the timetable for the courts but I hope that this matter will have been resolved by June. view
