3 May 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard what the Assistant Minister has just said. I am very happy that the Minister for Finance is in the House. The Minister for Finance has confirmed to the nation that the Kshs17 billion has been requested by – and allocated to – the Ministry of State for Special Programmes, and not the Ministry of Agriculture. However, again, we have another Minister from the same Government denying the mysterious allocation of the Kshs17 billion to their Ministry. Can the Leader of Government Business, who is in the House, ...

3 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want your direction. Please, lend me your ear. Last week, the substantive Chair gave a direction to the Leader of Government Business, the Vice-President of the Republic of Kenya on a Statement that was pending for the last two months concerning the deportation of a Muslim cleric. The Statement was sought from the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons. The Speaker gave directions last week that the Statement be either delivered on Wednesday, which was yesterday, or Thursday. The Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons just walked out ...

26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is supposed to uphold justice in this country. Article 89 of the Constitution, to which the Member for North Horr has referred, talks of a number of parameters as far as delimitation is concerned. These include population, community interest, landscape and communication. If in the delimitation of constituencies only one parameter was used, could he confirm to the House that the process was illegal?

26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, two months ago I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons on the deportation of an international Muslim scholar by the name of Bilal Philips. It is now two months and this Statement has not come to this House. Could the Chair direct the Leader of Government Business to ask the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons to deliver that Statement next week on the deportation of the Muslim scholar two months ago?

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for his Statement. He alluded to the issue of use of excessive force by the police and that we, as a nation, must follow the Constitution. Could the Minister clarify that the Prime Minister has directed him to discipline the Commissioner of Police following the Limuru 2B conference and whether he has done that? Secondly, if so, was the Prime Minister in order to address a Cabinet or a Government matter through the Press? Could he confirm that?

19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment. Capping interest rates might appear feasible and might be very populist but it can only work if Kenya was a communist country. It cannot work in this country. It cannot work in a country where there is a free market. I want to raise fundamental issues on this amendment. We want to control both the cost and the revenue. That is the worst form of price control. Again, this amendment is very simplistic in view of the structural drivers of interest rates in the market where both the private ...
