• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the issue that the Member for Igembe North has raised is fundamental. It is this kind of casual manner in which matters are treated that ends up putting millions of Kenyans in the kind of trouble that these teachers are in. The Member for Igembe North asked a fundamental question: Who is going to respond on behalf of the Government? We must have a respondent. With due respect, the matter that was raised by hon. Mutula Kilonzo – that any Minister speaking can be taken to be the ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: So, the Government needs to tell you who is responding to this very serious matter. It cannot be done in the casual manner in which they are trying to treat this House. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity. I would like to say that we are in a country of very strange happenings because we are forced, as a House, to debate this Motion because somebody has simply refused to do what he or she is supposed to do. What the teachers are asking is what is provided for in law. When a Kenyan works and retires, he or she is entitled to a pension. It is not a favour; it is not a grant; it is their dues. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: We should not be discussing about paying pension to people who have worked. We should have actually have progressed this debate to looking at how to take care of view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Prime Minister in order to give a long story to the House and yet, he was asked a specific question? view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we all have our opinions and I even share the opinion of the Prime Minister, but that is beside the point. The question is: What is the Government’s position on the date of the election? view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: It is not about his opinion or anybody else’s opinion. What is the Government’s position on the date of election? view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This House this afternoon, wanted to listen to the Prime Minister on the issue of a comprehensive roadmap for a peaceful election. If the Government does not even have a position on the election date, a very fundamental issue to having peaceful elections in Kenya, how can the Government then claim to have any roadmap that has no date on when the elections will be held? How are they planning? I think the Prime Minister should take the business of this House seriously. If the Government does not have a date, it ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have listened very carefully to the Prime Minister, especially when he expounded on the issues of political parties and how Kenyans should elect parties on the basis of their manifestos, programmes and policies, which is a very good thing. Secondly, the Prime Minister has also explained in detail that parties should not be ethnic based. Those are very good values that have been given by the Prime Minister but I do not know whether he was listening to himself because he holds the record in this House for having changed parties. He has not told the ... view
