• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to make a correction. The motor vehicles are being impounded by the Kenya Police, from what I can see from the newspapers. The Kenya Police falls under the Office of the President. They will respond to that. Now, as to the law, I must have all the facts available to me before I can decide on the issues of the law. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to say that their mode of dress is purely coincidental when I intend to dress in a similar manner when I am responding to this Bill? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: 744 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 26, 2006 view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to say law cannot be made to act retroactively when the Constitution itself permits this House to enact a law which will operate retroactively? The only exception is that this Parliament cannot create an offence and for that offence to act retroactively. I believe that my senior counsel, hon. M. Kilonzo who is seated here will confirm that. view
• 20 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister said that she would revert this hospital to the public. But the hospital was illegally acquired and there is no document to confirm the new owners. Why can she not just revert it to the public next week? view
• 20 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it appears that if schools have to receive this money, hon. Members must ask Questions to that effect. Does it mean that the Ministry does not have the addresses of the headmasters who have not received money? When headmasters complain, the Ministry does not take action immediately. Must the headmasters always wait for the hon. Members to ask Questions here, so that money is sent to those schools? view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that teachers are interviewed and put on the merit list. The Government budgets for teachers who are employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and those who are about to retire. When teachers retire or die, they should be replaced immediately by trained teachers who are unemployed. There is no need for interviews. What does the Government do with the money that is budgeted for those who retire, if they are not replaced immediately? view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.69 to raise a complaint, though we were taught at Alliance High School never to complain. So, I wish to draw your attention to newspaper reports arising from yesterday's debate and adoption of the PAC Report on the Anglo Leasing and related issues. In particular, I would like to draw your attention to today's Daily Nation newspaper banner headline, which says: "Big Names Face Probe as MPs Pass Report on Graft". Underneath that headline, there is a sub-title: "Facing Investigations", and underneath are pictures of various officials who are purportedly facing ... view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: newspaper's story is false. It is creating the wrong perception that the Attorney- General is facing investigations and that, that investigation has been recommended by the PAC. So, I would like to request that the newspaper be warned and correct that impression. view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to start by declaring that I support this Motion, because it is a very important one and is overdue. The Minister for Agriculture is here, and I think his ears are open. The sugar industry in this country is going to collapse the way the cotton industry collapsed. You can remember that, when the Ministry of Trade and Industry allowed mitumba clothes to be imported into this country, the cotton industry collapsed. Those importing mitumba clothes were sons and daughters of well-connected people. They ran down the cotton industry. The only industry that ... view
