William Kamket Kassait

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I appreciate your guidance, I seek slightly more guidance on the matter of public participation. The threshold for public participation is not very clear.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Far from it, Hon. Speaker!

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) It is a genuine concern. But I am happy by that guidance, except that in the Constitution and in the Standing Orders, there is no clear threshold on that matter of public participation. So, I will stand guided by that ruling.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Very well.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On a point of order.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, the matter the Chairperson is responding to is serious as it involves an elected member. The consultations are too high for us to hear what the Chair is saying.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding re-evaluation of the schemes of service for appointment of chiefs and assistant...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indulge me as the Chairman comes to respond to these matters tomorrow. Two weeks ago, I sought a Statement that was directed to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) . The Committee has not responded to it. I am concerned because we...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report. The President took the opportunity to re-organise his Cabinet mid-term. Riots in the country presented an opportunity to the President. He is a lucky man. Perhaps, he would have lived with the same group if...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On two matters. Is it in order, Hon. Speaker, for the Hon. lady to anticipate debate? Secondly, is what she is saying relevant to the debate on the Supplementary Estimates?

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker. I am standing under Standing Order No.91 and also on relevance. The Member is anticipating debate because there is no Motion in this House about any appointment of anyone to anywhere. From our own experience yesterday, we know that what is announced outside...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While what you read could be contradictory to what we heard from the President’s announcement, I would like you to confirm that it is, indeed, what was communicated by the Head of State. Secondly, I have heard Hon. Junet threaten those...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support the Bill fully and associate myself with the views and recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. The Committee has done a wonderful job in analysing the...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On a point of order Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty KANU) Hon. Speaker, kindly indulge me.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) I am not satisfied, Hon. Speaker. Can I ask the Hon. Chairman, what guarantees he can give that the people of Tiaty shall be recruited at the county headquarters, given the problem of insecurity that we have in the county at the moment? Thank you,...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you. At least, you have understood me.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, Hon. Speaker, I appeared before the Committee in the morning as a friend of the Committee and the response by the Chair captures what the Cabinet Secretary said, except that there are no guarantees. What is happening, from the explanation...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty KANU) You know, Hon. Speaker, I only asked you to indulge me…

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know, when there are urgent issues and the Cabinet Secretary is not scheduled to appear for Question Time, what other avenue do we have other than trying this lame one of seeking a statement? I was only lucky that…

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I did not want to interrupt the Hon. Member whom I consider… Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not want to interrupt the Member whom I consider my senior for many reasons. However, you heard what she said...
