23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in 2003, we passed the Public Officer Ethics Act. This Clause 45A is basically doing the same. Under the Public Officer Ethics Act, there are Commissions that perform this role. The Parliamentary Service Commission is doing that. The Judicial Service Commission and the Public Service Commission will do that. It is duplication and I do not see the reason. Any body, including the Anti-Corruption Commission can go to these commissions to get the relevant information that they need on an individual. So, I do not think we should do this.

22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. I was among the Members of Parliament who brought the amendment to raise the qualifications of Members of Parliament to a degree level. It is this House that felt that leadership, governance and supremacy of this country lies with the people. The Constitution is very clear. Based on that, the vetting of who becomes the next leader of this country lies with the voters in every county. The people of Ijara know the integrity of hon. Haji. The same applies to the people of Dujis and where hon. Orengo ...

22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, at long last, I caught your eye. I want to put a proposal that transparency and accountability must also be done in Parliament and the screen should be showing the names of Members who have requested to speak. Having said that, I stand to support this Bill. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) must be at par with their counterparts globally. Intelligence gathering is becoming a global phenomenon. The NIS has grown over the years from Special Branch to what we have today and to where we are heading. We must create a robust organization that will ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had asked the Minister to provide the House with the work and business permits of Chinese nationals in the country. I would be very happy if he availed them to me, so that I can go through that document and look at the companies that are facilitating the hawking business in the country.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement that I sought was only dealing with hawking and hawkers, which is a small business tenet.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to be very categorical. I want to table the following documents.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to table the acceptance letter by the Chinese company after an award was given to them by the Kenya Airports Authority. I want to table both the award and the acceptance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a gentleman who was killed by Al Shabaab in an incident that took place in my constituency. He is among 37 people who were killed by the Al Shabaab in the last one year culminating in the loss of the 17 Kenyans in a church. Could the Assistant Minister confirm to the nation that until today in all the incidents where more than 37 Kenyans were killed at the heart of Garissa Town, the Provincial Headquarters of North Eastern, barely few meters from the police station and the military camp, the Government has failed to ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister say that the Government is in the process of bringing those people to book. It is more than one year and a half that 37 Kenyans, the last one being 17 worshipers were killed in a church barely 500 meters from the previous military camp. Is he in order?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Away from the KANU politics, I want to ask the Prime Minister whether he is in order that the same project he is referring to - of the river and Lake Turkana--- We are aware that the donor community – the World Bank, African Development Bank (ADB) and CIDA who were financing those projects withdrew and pulled out because of the environmental impact. Is the Prime Minister in order to keep on misleading the House by saying that the Ministry of Water has more information?
