• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Question No.1072, which you have deferred. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: So, I want guidance from the Chair on whether Standing Order 42 (5) and (8) can be implemented. We ask Questions to keep the Government in check and prompt it to do certain things. So, why does it take six or seven months when the Standing Orders are clear that five days after the Question has been sent, a written answer should be brought to the Clerk and circulated to hon. Members through the internet? So, I seek the indulgence of the Chair. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the same line, I did request a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs regarding two young girls who were detained in Lebanon. He was supposed to issue the Statement three weeks ago. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did follow up with the Assistant Minister this morning and his excuse was that the Ministry did not have money. That is because the Permanent Secretary and the Minister are not here and yet, all that the detained girls require is US$5,000. Is it in order for the Minister to avoid bringing the ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In support of the point of order by Mr. Mututho, you have heard about the leasing of equipment when the Assistant Minister was reading. This equipment list suggests that all those planes that he has talked about are equipped with the equipment and yet, it is in public knowledge that the ambulance he is referring to at the Kenya Police Air Wing has never ever been an ambulance. It has never carried one sick patient. It is being used by the Kenya Police Air Wing. Right now, it is grounded; it ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I happen to be involved in the aviation industry. I raised a point of order here that the Assistant Minister read out equipment. In his answer he said that all the aeroplanes that are mentioned here operate with this equipment, which is not true. Which of these aeroplanes have this equipment? That is the question which he must be able to answer. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The essence of asking for the equipment is to know whether we have aircraft that can help sick passengers. So, really, it serves no purpose, if you allow me, for the Assistant Minister to generalize and say “in them”, because it is not them that go together. So, may I seek the indulgence of the Chair for the Assistant Minister to go back, then come and tell us which of these ambulances has the necessary equipment to help this country? I seek the indulgence of the Chair. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am guided. May I ask? view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was trying to save the House some time because the Assistant Minister is misleading the House. The same Assistant Minister, on the 7th of December, 2010, answered the same Question on pension in this House, and I would like him to have a look at the Hansard because I have a copy. This Assistant Minister has answered this Question before, and even said in the House what action the Ministry was taking because of the pension of these teachers. So, he is misleading the House. Is he in order? view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister did not address himself to my point of order. What I am only saying, simply is this: He answered; he even quoted the case, that he was aware that it had been settled. He even went ahead to say that the Ministry of Finance had a meeting on the 30th of August. So, he is avoiding my point of order. He is misleading the House! I would urge the Chair to have a look at that Question so that you find what I am saying is relevant. view
