• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the Kenya Government gets crude oil from Nigeria, then sells it and pockets some money. If our own refineries cannot handle the crude oil, why can we not get refineries to refine it and pay for the refining, then we can sell the refined product at a lower price to our people? 2482 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12,2006 view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. In the first instance, I would like to congratulate the Minister and his officers for what they have done. They are working under very difficult conditions. They are dealing with people who are moving around with guns in our towns and villages. They have a shortage of manpower and equipment. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the Minister for what he has done in my own constituency. Cattle rustling was happening on a daily basis. We were losing many people on ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the second time that I am seeing very strange things happen. You have given hon. Maore the Floor, but the members of the Press have all walked out. Are we being held to ransom by the Press as to who should speak and who should not speak? Why should they come back at all? We should close the door! view

• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Why are they back? The Speaker controls the proceedings of the Chamber. The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), of which you are a member, controls what happens within Parliament. Are we going to have people walking in and walking out at their leisure? What were they going to pick out from there? Guns? Why are they behaving like this? view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. Now that when we pass this Motion there will be time to bring a Bill to make it into law, I would even think that when we say "---this House urges the Government to establish at least one fully Government-supported special education primary school and secondary school in each district to cater for the education of the children living with disabilities", we should further add a sentence there to say "that the services should provided to these children free of charge." view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not amended it. I said I wish such a sentence could be added. So, I am not repeating an amended--- I know the procedural Standing Orders. It was just my wish that even if this were to be the case, we should even go further and say that these children are facilitated to have free education when they go to these schools. It is not any child's wish, or anybody's wish, to be born blind or deaf or with any disability whatsoever. Not at least at birth or when they are young children. ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that we know that one of the owners is Lonhro, we want to know what Lonhro is. Is it still in existence because we assume that Lonhro has been wound up? Who are the owners of Lonhro? We have been told that Lonhro was wound up, so who owns the Uplands Bacon Factory? Who are these shareholders now that Lonhro was wound up? view

• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is this. I have an interest in Lonhro assets because they had grabbed the Nandi land. I have gone to the Registrar of Companies to do a search 2350 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 10, 2007 and found that the file on Lonhro is not available. So, is the Minister in order? view
