• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to support. One of the key elements in the new Constitution is that we need to give enough time for Kenyans to know what is going on. So, it is necessary that, in future, we keep to time. If it is 10 days, it should be 10 days, so that we allow as much ventilation as possible. But for now, I beg to support. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to support the Procedural Motion and also to reiterate that things should be done the right way. Looking at the time when the Constitution was promulgated – that was two years ago – I think there was enough time. It is even in the schedules of the Constitution itself. So, we all knew that we needed to have time to do this. But I just want to remind the Minister that when he says that we are going to have time to recover tomorrow morning, the Back-benchers are working throughout in the committee ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this piece of legislation. The document is brief and precise and it makes it easy for anybody who will want to make reference to it. It is also good because we have been talking about the new Constitution that we put in place two years ago. This also goes a long way to operationalize one of the articles in the Constitution, that is Article 119. There is also the comfort that the petitioners will feel. The way the schedule is prepared here, has given us a standard format, which is very brief ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity also to support this Bill. I think what we are doing is to visualize the kind of institution that we have in the NIS and the kind of people that will man that institution. In doing this, I think it places a lot of responsibility in the hands of the appointing authority, the Cabinet Secretary and also brings many challenges to this House. That is because once the appointments have been made and then the approval has been done by this House, I think it gives a lot ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the cotton industry in this country was killed by the Government. It is a pity that when you go to a bookshop, you find an imported notebook which can be made here. The Pan African Paper Mills Company in Webuye which was producing paper was killed by the Government. What is the Government doing to revive these industries so that we reduce the cost of importing goods from outside? view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought the Minister will talk about a Statement that I sought on 8th about the airports and airstrips in the country. Last week, you ordered that it will come up today. view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we have talked about this and it has been heard out there. The two have made their point. Should we be listening to it and they will take care of the concerns here. We want to have this moving because we do not have a lot of time. So, the Mover should be called upon to reply. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to support this Bill. It is very timely considering that in the advent of the new Constitution, we are thinking of country in terms of regions. We are looking at these regions as being able to sustain themselves and being able to contribute to their development and growth. So, it is going to be incumbent upon all the counties to look for ways of generating revenue for themselves and sustain themselves apart from the minimum 15 per cent that they will get from the Central Government. With that in mind, ... view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that schools are about to close for second term holidays and yet the free primary and secondary school education funds have not been released to them and, if so, why? (b) What measures is the Minister taking to expedite the release of the money in order to relieve the schools and parents of the hardships they are experiencing in their operations for lack of funds? view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for the information he has given to the House and the country. This is the third time the Question has come up in this House. First, it came up on Wednesday morning. It came up again on Thursday afternoon. This is the third time we are discussing it. I would like to ask the Government to take this matter seriously. He says there was a change over from the old chart of accounting to a new one. The problem is that there was no communication. The Government should learn to ... view
