10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it baffles me that the Minister has given me an answer the Assistant Minister early said was not satisfactory. I wonder whether it is because one of the deportees comes from the Assistant Minister's constituency. Nonetheless, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and the entire human rights network in Kenya has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that 22 Kenyans were deported. They even have their identity cards. What judicial process did the Ministry undertake to prove that these persons, who were deported, were non-Kenyans? I have the list of those deported.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to apologise to this House because he has claimed that we are protecting non-Kenyans and yet he knows that those 22 people are actually citizens of this country.

10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are suffering because there is no employment. I am one of the Kenyans who worked in Somalia. There are three categories of Kenyans working in Somalia. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, there are those, like myself, who are international workers who can be returned back to Kenya within four hours when there is chaos. Secondly, there are those Kenyans of Somali descend, who work for local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and who pass as Somalis so that they can get employment. Thirdly, there are Kenyans who work for private entities. When war breaks out, all those ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering that we are talking about women filling existing positions; and if the Government is serious, could the Minister tell the House why it did not take this opportunity to fill the position of Governor of Central Bank (CBK) with a woman? She has been acting in that position for a few years and recorded the first profit margin.

4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Assistant Minister says that he needs to consult with the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security. This Question was initially directed to the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security, but it said that the Question was for the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons. Secondly, I have the answer, which I think is very conclusive. We need to move on. Forty- seven Kenyans are languishing in Ethiopian and Somali jails, with six of them suspected to have died, and he is not coming here ...

28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr.Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to comment on the President's Speech. I would like to start by congratulating the President for promising to establish a women enterprise fund. This is a welcome move, in that it is going to give the bankless an opportunity to receive funding to start businesses. However, I would like to mention that in the tradition of this Government of quoting ideas, it should begin by appreciating the source of that idea, through the Bill proposed by the hon. Dr. Ojiambo. It should support that Bill when it comes to ...

28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the NARC Government has been notorious for not respecting the rule of law. For long, that has been accommodated because it was internal law. But now, we have even gone further to expand our naughtiness to include international law. International law dictates that any refugee that comes into your country is given the first right of asylum before you deport them, whether they are your nationals or other nationals. We talk of those people bringing insecurity. What insecurity would 22 unarmed people, four of them being children below ten years, bring to a nation of ...
