• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: also proposing to move an amendment. But I believe that is what we had agreed with the Committee; that the Commissioner will consult with the industry. view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: has consulted with the industry. That is my understanding of what we agreed with the Committee and we brought this amendment on that understanding. I would rather that the Committee does some consultation - which is happening - in order to support what we had agreed on and, therefore, withdraw what they have proposed. view
• 23 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Minister". We are working at modalities to ensure that by the time the Bill comes into effect, all the attendant preparations are in place. Those attendant preparations have not been finalised to a point August 23, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3435 where we can put it into effect without causing a lacuna. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister said that consultations are still ongoing. Where are these consultations taking place and with whom because for the last month plus, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is yet to convene that meeting? We have not been informed of any meeting in the last six weeks. So, there are no consultations taking place. If there are; could he, please, tell us where and when they are taking place? view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister accuse an hon. Member of this House of knowing the whereabouts of official Government documents. The rules of this House are clear. If the hon. Assistant Minister has evidence that Mr. Raila has taken official Government documents and kept them in his private possession, he should table documentary evidence. If he has no such evidence he must withdraw that statement. view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion that the Constitution of Kenya Review Bill be adjourned in line with the position put forward by Mr. Muite. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also a member of the Committee that comprises both sides of this House. It is chaired by none other, as has been stated, than the Leader of Government Business, who is also the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. At a meeting where we drew up the agenda of that Committee, the Constitution of Kenya Review Bill was one of the items that ... view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Political Parties Bill, as introduced and moved by the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. This Bill is long over due. As we are all aware, Kenya returned to multi-party democracy in 1992, with the removal of Section 2A of the Constitution. Since then, we have yet to come up with a clearly defined law on how political parties relate within each other, with one another and, ultimately, with the nation as a whole. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a result of having no clear law, there ... view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair is, indeed, aware that I have, on several occasions, asked for its ruling and guidance on many hon. Members from my political party who have crossed the Floor and, indeed, been appointed Ministers in a Government that is formed by a party other than that which gave them mandate in the last general election. The Chair consistently said that it can do nothing until it receive their letters of resignation. How much clearer do we want an issue of defection and Floor crossing to be than when a Member of Parliament elected on ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my comments on the exposition of public policy contained in His Excellency the President's Speech. The Speech by His Excellency the President dwelt mainly on the achievements of his Government over the past four years. Those achievements are in terms of the Free Primary Education Programme (FPEP), increased economic growth, amongst other things. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the real question is this: Whereas Kenyans are, indeed, happy with the FPEP, has that been matched by an increase in the quality of education in our primary institutions? Has there been ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is common knowledge that today, private academies are, in terms of examination results, beating public institutions. That is a situation that has not been seen in a long time. Therefore, as much as we appreciate the FPEP, it shows that there is a problem that remains to be resolved. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what about the burden of parents who are happy with the FPEP? Today, those parents have less disposable income than they had four years ago as a result of increased prices in basic commodities such as unga, sugar, paraffin and the increase ... view
