• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am torn between the Standing Orders and the truth. I think I will go for the truth. The truth of the matter is that there is a Member in this House who went to the Press and said clearly that so long as hon. Haji is not sacked, atrocities will continue, and surely, the following day, there was a major atrocity. How do we interpret that? It is hon. Dhadho Godhana. I want to say the truth. That has happened and that same sentiment has been expressed. In the light of those utterances, Canon Karanja ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will follow your instructions but as far this debate is concerned and this Motion, where I felt that there was the need to say the truth, I have said and I stand by it. We all have responsibility as leaders to ensure that if a section of this country is burning and there are those of us who have a problem or feel that those responsible are involved and the debate comes to the Floor of this House, we must have the freedom to mention where the truth is. What is taking place is sort ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I urge Ms. Ndeti to second. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we look at the Tana Delta, the people of Tana River have lived there for many years together and if you look at history, this is a cycle. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to clarify an issue raised by hon. Duale, that is, “approval” versus “urge”. First of all it is a concern that the hon. Member, when he wants to raise an issue regarding contribution by a Member, he tends to put some improper motive on the individual. He said that there are those who sit in between – an indication of indecisiveness. There is one thing I would like to clear about “approval” and “urging”. The hon. Attorney-General raised that concern that this Parliament cannot in itself initiate deployment. Approval is what the Executive, ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Amendment Bill. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us not fear reforms. Let us not fear reforms in our institutions. Let us not assume the old thinking and continue remaining there. I think the problems that we face in our corporate world or organizations or parastatals should not be reason for us to refuse to strengthen governance in the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). In any situation, the society has its own ways of handling its problems. We have a Constitution that is very different from the rest of the world. We do not need to compare ourselves to other central ... view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. All I was saying is that these rules or the procedure that we need to put in place will strengthen the CBK. It will not in any way weaken this institution and the squabbles taking place in many of our organizations of institutions should not be reason for us to start worrying about centres of power at the CBK. If there is a pecking order where power and responsibility is distributed with regard to policy setting and management, then we will be strengthening that institution rather than having someone who is the chief executive ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will take the time that you have indicated. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: I would like to take this opportunity to, first of all, congratulate hon. Chachu Ganya. As hon. Gabbow said, there is no person who is better placed to bring this Bill to Parliament than him. I am actually surprised that he did not call it “The Desert Management Authority Bill”, most of our land having become desert. Drought has become a perpetual problem in this country. We are managing drought through what we call “short-term projects”, which are short-term activities that are renewed every five years. Now, having realised the gravity of the situation, it is prudent that we establish ... view
