• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Minister, Prof. George Saitoti to insinuate that Members who are sitting here have rain-combating vehicles and that is why they are here? We came through the rain and the Ministers are duty bound to be here to answer Questions. Prof. Saitoti is not taking this matter seriously. Is he in order? view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You can see how casually hon. Members are apologizing to the Chair. The earlier one apologized for being late. Hon. Mungatana says that he was held up in a meeting. Really, most of us leave our houses--- I leave Muthaiga at 6.00 a.m. to get here at 9.00 a.m. So, is it really in order for hon.

So, really going to part (a) or part (b) of the Question is not the business of the House today. So, may I ask the Minister to go straight and lay the criteria on the Table of the House and if he does not have it, let him say so. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that the Minister is a very busy man, we could allow him Tuesday, but I can give him the benefit of the HANSARD which I have here so that next time, he may want to refer to the record of the House. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. A while ago I stood on a point of order and you asked me to be patient and wait for the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. My point of order was not directly related to the answer he was going to give. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: There was an issue this morning about when answers should be given, or availed to Members. I stand on Standing Order No.42(5) and (8), where written answers are supposed be circulated by the Clerk’s office five days after they have been brought to the House.
