• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, following a trade dispute in 2011, the then management of KPA informed the parastatal’s staff members that new terms of employment would be implemented once the restructuring process, which was ongoing then, was completed. Five hundred employees who were serving on contract were to be immediately hired on permanent and pensionable terms on seniority basis. The remaining contract staff members, plus 247 casual employees, were to be considered after the restructuring. In addition, contracts for staff members whose terms had expired during the restructuring process were to be renewed for a period of two years. The Chairperson should ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is information that the management of KPA should have on its shelves. So, three weeks is way too long. As a matter of fact, if we had our Standing Orders in our favour, I would even ask that this Report be brought to this House by tomorrow. However, I believe that a week should be the most ideal time within which they can come up with the Report. I would like to have details on how many people they have hired, and on what basis they have hired those people as well as on the fate of ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank the Chairperson and his team but I would like to point out the fact that the reports that always come from them are not reports that are properly digested by them. In the response, the Cabinet Secretary has indicated that they were aware of the meeting from the 31st. The meeting was to take place on the 2nd. That means they had clear three days to take action against those who were intending to do whatever it was that was going to be done. The Cabinet Secretary went ahead to say that they knew ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: They only called me after Mombasa was on fire, so that I would put it off. They are saying they even advised the convenors because they broke law and summoned them not to go ahead. The question is: How did they summon them? That means they know who they are. Was it necessary to attack a mosque at a time like 1 O’clock, when people had just finished their midday prayers? The leaflets purportedly indicated that there was going to be free lunch. I also personally take offence that in his Statement, everyone was arrested including nine year olds. They ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: indicating that seven people died, they were killed by police. These are reports from Coast General Hospital and other various hospitals, including postmortem reports. They are saying that this took a period of four hours and we know it lasted hardly an hour. view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Everyone here knows that - hon. Duale we will get to that - the issue of being told they found tobacco snuff in a mosque is serious. I would request the Leader of Majority Party to kindly allow me to---- view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. This is something that is very weighty and I know that a number of Members would wish to seek clarification. Lastly, regarding Hemmed Salim Hemmed, this is a gentleman whom, when the police caught and arrested him, they said that he is a most wanted person and that he had weapons with him. The police now claim that despite the evidence, out of goodwill, on their way to the police station they decided to remove the handcuffs and he ran away. We have detailed documents to prove that his gentleman was mentally ill and ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you had directed, I will reserve the right of my parliamentary obligations and I will seek a Motion. In that Motion I will include the views of hon. Sakaja, hon. A.B. Duale and able minded parliamentarians. We wish for this because a Parliamentary Select Committee cannot go for too long and it has to be directed on particular issues. We will wish for this to take effect at a very short time so that we get an answer at utmost speed. We do not wish this to be a debate any more. We want that once the ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. Considering that there are currently some matters pending in court, we agreed that we leave this Statement for Thursday, next week. We do not want any Statement that will not only be prejudicial to the courts, but which might end up contravening some issues. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I just have a small numerical calculation. The figure 99 multiplied by 0 is always 0. That means that no matter how many of these court orders they come up with, as long as the orders are unconstitutional, there is no way they will add value. view
