• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you read that Question, it is very specific. If the hon. Minister does not have sufficient information to give a satisfactory answer, I am quite willing, and I will request that we have this Question deferred so as to give the hon. Minister more time to find out. view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think the right expression would be that the clause be deleted. It is not being amended at all. view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to support that amendment. I think it is only fair that we have a responsible media. The only way we can have a responsible media is to ensure that they take responsibility for what they write. They should not hide, therefore, behind the requirements that they do not have to write your name and yet, you become an object of ridicule and you are actually damaged by insinuation and inference. I beg to support. view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to oppose that amendment. I think the word "shall" should be retained. We are talking about foreign journalists or those who might be masquerading as foreign journalists. I think it is only fair, for the sake of national security and interests, that the Council has mandatory responsibility to do what they have to do rather than making it kind of discretionary and optional. view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if I read Eng. Muriuki correctly, I would like to agree with him. I think the use of the word "shall" in that particular Clause is a worry. It should have been quite in order if the word "may" was used. But to say that the Complaints Committee shall not be bound by the rules of the Evidence Act, precludes the Evidence Act for use by this Committee. I think it should be open to them. If they want to draw on the provisions, they should do so. I would like to suggest that the ... view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to support Eng. Karue. I would like to appeal to both the Chairman of the Committee and the Minister to change the title to read: "The Media Practitioners Bill", so that it is really--- view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to oppose this Motion. There is sufficient scientific evidence proving that criminal tendencies including murderous tendencies are intrinsically genetic. If we continue to allow people with those characteristics to roam our streets, we will simply give them the chance to continue to breed more of their type in order to continue committing such crimes. In China where they do not have the death sentence, at least criminals are castrated and forced to work, providing free labour in public works such as building roads and bridges. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As a Christian, I take great exception to the suggestion that Jesus Christ was a murderer. He was not a murderer and, therefore, that is a very wrong example! view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. Health is a very important part of human resource management. I want to congratulate the Minister for her courage in doing a number of fairly dramatic things during her tenure as the Minister for Health. Recently, she did cancel maternity fees. But even more significant, I think we appreciate that, in fact, the distribution of medicine to various health centres and hospitals, has considerably improved. Madam Minister, I just want to thank you and your team in the Ministry for this wonderful job. ... view
