• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: (i) A Motion by hon. Sunjeev Kour Birdi urging the Government to build multi- dams and ensure that they are allocated equitably around the country, while complementing the existing dams and establish other measures for water harvesting, especially during the rainy or flood seasons for sustainability. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: (ii) A Motion by hon. Nyamai urging the Government to spearhead the establishment of a national unified identification system that harmonizes all personal bio- data. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: (iii). A Motion by hon. Kajuju urging the House to establish an ad hoc Committee to comprehensively investigate and inquire into all matters relating to Khat (Miraa ), consider and review all research findings and make recommendations to the House within 90 days. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think we have a very serious agenda. On the issue of the House that the current President occupies on the Hill on behalf of the Kenyan people, the former Prime Minister was also in order to come to Parliament and meet his parliamentary group. He is also in order because he is the leader of that coalition. I want to inform my good friend, hon. Ng’ongo that barely one month ago, the leadership of this House- from both sides - was in the House at the Hill, on behalf of hon. Members here. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the Head of State occupies and uses State resources as funded by this House and hon. Ng’ongo can wait for the Auditor-General when he presents his report to this House. That is because State House has a State Comptroller who is the Accounting Officer. I wish him well as he prays a lot so that his leader becomes the next view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, may I take this opportunity to join my colleague hon. Kabando to congratulate hon. Dr. Joyce Laboso for the very good manner in which she represented our nation as co-president in the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly. Having been privileged to be part of that delegation, I can tell you that our country was given a deadline within which to sign the agreement. I thank hon. (Dr.) Laboso for view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to correct my colleague that, that particular reference she is making is not from the Koran. I can say with great certainty that the Koran does not speak about miraa . She needs to cite the authority of the particular statement that she has just made. We will not allow the House to be misled. So, that particular statement is not from the Koran. The Koran is not in support of miraa, as far as I know. Thank you. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to oppose this Motion. This is with the full understanding and appreciation of the cross-cultural ties. I respect the cultural issues surrounding miraa in terms of marriage and all that. However, miraa has been the cause--- I am speaking because my community is largely in the consumption end of miraa . So, I am also a very important stakeholder speaking on this. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: has been the root cause of devastation in north eastern Kenya and in the coastal region of this country. These parts are the largest consumers of miraa . I must say that the interests, health and well-being of Kenyans far supersede any economic gain that there might be in miraa . As has been stated here, the crop is a cash earner for many hon. Members seated here. I am surprised that my good friend here says that he has chewed miraa for the last 30 years. If you go to Garissa, somebody who has chewed miraa for 30 years ... view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: has also broken families because when people get some little money they run to buy one kilogramme or nusu kilogramme of miraa, yet his children are hungry. I cannot stand here and support miraa . Indeed, I have full faith in the good work NACADA is doing. We cannot afford to insult NACADA. It works day in, day out in the interests of Kenyans. They are out to look for what is harmful to Kenyans and then inform us about it. In my view, NACADA should be supported in ensuring that miraa is, indeed, included amongst the drugs that need ... view
