• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer given by the Assistant Minister in part “b” has been the same for the last 45 years since we got Independence. In 2007, none other than His Excellency launched the construction of that road, which ended immediately after the election. So, it is a gimmick! Could the Assistant Minister confirm that this is just a ploy simply because again we are approaching another general election and the Government does not have an intention of tarmacking this road? view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Parliament, as one of the three arms of the Republic of Kenya, has rules.

In line with that mandate, the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations interrogated some of the activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and came up with a report and that report was accepted. Again, in line with Standing Order No.181, that report was tabled, debated and adopted by this august House in October, 2010. view

What the Government ought to have done was, in line with Standing Order No.183 - I want to read it; it states: “Within sixty days of a resolution of the House or adoption of any report of a select committee, the Minister under whose portfolio the matter raised in the ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to the best of my recollection, I do not remember in the last nine months any interim report from whoever was in charge of that portfolio of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Having said that, I stand here on behalf of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and, indeed, on behalf of the Members of the august House. Today I feel vindicated simply because when this report came to the Floor of the House, there were so many issues. I want to table here a report from the Controller and Auditor-General dated January this year. ... view
