• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister should put in place damage recovery, so that some money is recovered from the contractor towards the benefit of the people. This would be better than saying that he is going to terminate the contract. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, about two years ago, again, I raised an issue about an old man in Maragoli Hills who was injured by a wild animal and the Assistant Minister promised compensation but, up to date, it has not been done. I do not know whether he can also include that in whatever he is presenting on the same issue. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Government is bloated with 42 Ministers and 50 Assistant Ministers. Is the Minister view
• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice in passing a message of deep condolences to my departed colleagues; Prof. George Saitoti and hon. Joshua Ojode. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the part of Prof. Saitoti, if there is anything that we need to learn about tolerance, then I think that is the best experience we have. Somebody who would have held the position of Vice-President and then he is kept waiting for 14 months and then he is reappointed the way he was and took up the job, then if there is any tolerance, then we ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The reason why the hon. Members here are insisting it should have been earlier than that is that we also have in mind that the Minister here has been a Minister in that Ministry. He just left that Ministry recently. So, he should be able to assist us to get this information. That is to add on to the issue of collective responsibility. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion and I want to congratulate Mr. John Pesa for bringing it. This Motion arises out of payments which were due to teachers who retired between 1997 and 2003, which is a long time ago. Considering that these teachers, apart from the money they are demanding in retirement benefits, ordinarily are not paid adequately - some or a majority of them when they retire peg a lot of hope on their retirement benefits - it would have been important for the Government to have incorporated this Kshs17.6 billion into its ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have just been listening to the Assistant Minister answering the question that he was asked and this one. He is not being committal. He is just saying: “That is something that we can consider.” Is it not fair for him to say that they are going to consider and then be specific? Is he in order? view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to join my colleagues in supporting these amendments. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: As my colleague said earlier, I intend to bring an amendment during the Committee Stage to exempt sitting Members of Parliament and councillors from the requirement of having post secondary school qualification because of the experience they have acquired over time while serving on those capacities. In this case, we are not particularly talking about sitting Members of the current Parliament, but the issues will come during the Committee Stage. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy about the amendment on the Advocates Act, seeking to change the “Disciplinary Committee” to “Disciplinary Tribunal”. While we were debating The Kenya School of Law Bill the other day, the issue of discipline amongst practising lawyers, particularly those in the field, featured prominently. I think when we talk of changing the wording from “committee” to “tribunal”; we are talking of creating a stronger body that will be able to address some of the malpractices that we have seen in the legal profession. view
