• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was building onto my question. Now that this programme will continue giving money selectively to elderly persons in this country--- She talks of the Ministry of Finance as if it is an institution that is out of Kenya. We know the very able Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister sits in this House. Could she undertake to consult him to be able to bring in a request to enhance the funds, so that this discrimination can stop? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, she talked about bringing a Bill here to be enacted into law. The Constitution envisaged this law being brought to Parliament within 18 months. It is now one year. Could she tell us when this Bill will be brought before this House? Is it in the next one month, a fortnight or 90 days? When will this Bill be brought to this House, so that the elderly persons in this country can equally enjoy this allowance? When ? Lini, kwa Lugha ya Kiswahili ? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Minister refer to Juja like it is being favoured. Juja Constituency, for her information, is the second most populace constituency in the Republic of Kenya. I think it is second to Embakasi Constituency. It is not a favour. It is their right. Is she in order to insinuate that Juja is being favoured? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Over four weeks ago, I requested a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs regarding the two Kenyan citizens who were held against their will in Lebanon. I remember that last week when I asked for that Ministerial Statement, the Chair ruled that the Minister would bring it today. Mr. Kimunya then requested that because of this issue of Somalia, they be given two weeks, which is today. Would I be in order to request that, that Statement be given as promised today? If not, probably, this afternoon? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, without politicizing this matter of the Kazi Kwa view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Programme, this being a very important project for the whole nation, as far as the people of Juja Constituency are concerned, I would want to be properly informed on the documents that have been laid on the Table. So, I would urge, kindly, without reading politics, that you give us time to peruse these documents, so that we can effectively interrogate the Ministerial Statement, so that we can move the country forward, in terms of this programme. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank the Committee chaired by Mrs. Noor for a job well done. This matter came to the House pursuant to a Question that I raised in the House on 29th November, 2010. The Question was not satisfactorily answered by the Minister. So, the matter was referred to the Committee. As I support, I would like to move an amendment to the Motion which, as you said, was approved by the Speaker on the 19th of this month. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, also, it is important to note that the Committee, in its deliberations, did find it actually possible that most or all councils in the Republic of Kenya are employing casual workers for as long as 14 years. They still refer to them as casual workers. You will see this has been going on for many years. Many workers whose services were terminated lost their jobs because they were casual labourers in spite of working for many years. They lost their families because if one was a breadwinner in a family and your services are terminated ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is so. I was just following your guidance that I can move the amendment, but I can call upon him to second the amendment and then I move on. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair did make reference to a case in court. I was saying that that case was taken to court pursuant to the Question that was already in the House. So, the Ministry was taking action on a matter that had already been brought to the House. I have perused the court file and I have seen that they have recorded intention to settle the matter out of court. So, it is my request that it is expedited, so that this case is not used as a way of blocking the payments that the Committee ... view
