10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief so that I can give time to my other colleagues. It is a very sad day for the people of northern Kenya. It is even sadder after they have passed the new Constitution. It is sad for the people of Kenya and, more so, for the people of northern Kenya who, for 47 years, have been going through terrible hardships. They thought that by voting and passing the Constitution at a rate of 98 per cent that, that would make history. Fundamentally, we were waiting for the TJRC to visit ...

28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
From the outset, I want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance on tabling of the Finance Bill. One of the key amendments the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has made today on the Finance Bill is the one on corruption; that is, the amendment that will give powers to the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and the Controller and Auditor-General, in as far as banning those private sector players, to be very precise, and companies that do business with the Government and this country that are involved in corruption. They will ...

28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must, as a country, say that âyes,â in terms of economic growth for the last ten years, despite the post-election violence, our growth rate has gone up. I want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for introducing the Economic Stimulus Projects. That gives the element of equity when it comes to regional balance. I also want to thank the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). As a businessman, for many years, tax evasion was the order of the day. There are people in this country who used to bring ships of sugar ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Member has said he wants a more politically accepted formula. Is he in order? Can he explain to this House what he means by âthis House must adapt a more politically correct formula?â

27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We need to protect the integrity of this House and we need to follow the laid down regulations as per the Standing Orders. It is a Wednesday Morning. The Motions that are coming before this House are generated by the Backbench and we expect that, at this time, the Mover and the Seconder as per the Standing Orders should be from the Backbench. But Members of the Government can contribute in their own capacities as Members of their respective constituencies.

27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here confidently to oppose this Motion. I want to oppose it based on facts. I do not want to oppose it just because of politics. We should not play politics on the Floor of this House when an important issue of resource allocation like this one comes before us.

27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
The bone of contention â and I want hon. Members to hear me - is as a result of two points. One, there are those who argue that we must use the 1999 Household Survey conducted by the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 in 1997. Secondly, there are those who argue that we must use the current data of 2005. The debate here and the bone of contention is about a report prepared by the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 which was tabled on the Floor of this House and until today--- It was ...
