• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have two Order Papers. I do not know which one to follow. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In his answer, the Assistant Minister for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands has said that the programme is under the Vision 2030. Does that exempt the contracts for the appraisal of the Kshs1.5 million from being done transparently and practicing nepotism? view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in joining my colleagues in pointing out the misplacement of this Motion, I wish to state that if this Motion was to pass, what we are going to lose as a country is the impartiality that we have been holding and that has helped us to be able to negotiate the Comprehensive Peace agreement. By discussing this Motion, we are trying to sanitize the actions of an Assistant Minister of this House who went to Southern Sudan to do some things. I was a regional member of the Amani Forum and the process that the current ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am unable to support this Motion, because passing this Motion is making this House act in futility.

This particular Assistant Minister came to this House and tried to defend an incident where chiefs were beaten and almost castrated in Wajir North; now, he is saying that it is normal for somebody to hold an hon. Member’s trousers and put him into a Land Rover. That was an Assistant Minister. What would happen to me, a mere nominated MP if this Assistant Minister ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told the House that one of the reasons they are unable to recruit those chiefs is that they do not get qualified persons applying for the same. Given that the education results in those areas are usually poor, could he consider lowering the marks for the candidates? Secondly, could he assure the candidates who are qualified that they will not get maltreatment that has been meted on members of the Provincial Administration in arid areas when the Government holds operations in those areas? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the Assistant Minister has declined to give the breakdown per district, could he give the allocation per district? view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I agree with the need to name hon. Members to instill discipline, I do not believe that, that Standing Order allows for guillotine in the process of naming. You have to name an individual and not a group. view
