• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for acknowledging that there was something burning me. Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to assure you that the Member of Parliament for Gwassi cannot have an attitude which can bring any violence in any part of this country, including this House. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard the Assistant Minister say very clearly that he does not know and, therefore, does not wish to comment on whether or not hon. Nyachae has recorded a statement with the police. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the police are answerable to this House through that same Assistant Minister! Is he in order to deny his responsibility? Is he in order to deny this House information October 2, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4249 which we are entitled to? This is a very serious matter. The entire community of Kisii cannot survive if they do not relate and live amongst ... view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek three clarifications. First, the Minister talked about the development component of the agreement. The purpose of the development component in the agreement is to help specific sectors to achieve competitiveness so that reciprocity does not harm our market. Could he give us an assurance on the amount of money they have committed, which particular sectors are targeted and the time lines? Secondly, there is the issue of Kenyan producers. Presently, Kenya exports much more to non-European markets compared to European markets. What assurance is he giving us that, by coming ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House and the Kenyan public? At the Industrial Area Police Station, two officers are living in one small cubicle with no running water and no sitting room. Is he in order to mislead the country and this House to believe that, that is the reason why he cannot staff that particular facility, which is much better than the Industrial Area Police Station? view

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, much as I respect Mr. Sungu's right to comment, I think the real issue that Mr. Ligale is bringing about is: If this is the definition the Minister wants to adopt here, then it must be harmonised, as soon as possible, with the definition of the said term in the Employment Act. Otherwise, we will have a serious conflict. That is the assurance that we want to have from the Minister. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Forgive him! view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to elaborate on the point that hon. Odoyo has raised. There are various other service commissions which are not affected, for example, under the Armed Forces Act. They include the Public Service Commission and the Teachers Service Commission. These service commissions allow for trade unions. Therefore, if we 4086 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 20, 2007 delete this clause, we will be doing a disservice to those who are serving under the other service commissions. So, if the Minister had in mind, specifically, that this does not apply to those employed under the Armed ... view
