• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the amendment by our Committee has already changed the sequence of this clause. So, it is important for us to note where the amendment by Prof. Kamar will be put. That is Subclause 3. That is what is irritating hon. Shakeel. view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate Mr. Konchella for bringing this Motion of Adjournment. All over the world, the signs of a failing state are three--- EXTENSION OF HOUSE SITTING view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security has graced this House. This is because I was going to focus on him a bit in my debate, but now that he is here, it shows that he has taken us seriously. All over the world, the signs of a failing state are three. One of the signs is increased insecurity which the state organs are unable to manage. The second sign is the use of informal or alternative security operatives such as militia groups because the state security agencies have ... view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter is much bigger than insecurity and people are dying. It is a sign that we are heading towards a failed state. This is not a matter that we should just debate for two hours and end it there. I would like to tell the Minister that mobilising members of a particular community when there is insecurity and promising the world is not enough, yet he does not deliver. He needs to take a proactive approach, for example, call us for a Kamukunji so that we can discuss this matter deeply. The ten minutes that ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that the Emergency Rules were repealed in 1992 and one of the excuses for that roadblock at Garissa was to stop the proliferation of small arms into the rest of Kenya, does it mean that the whole of North Eastern Province should wallow in small arms, while the rest of the country is secured through that border point? Why does he not have a more thorough check-in, for example, Border Point 1 in Mandera, Liboi or the rest of the province? view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, the generators do not have the capacity to run for 24 hours. What we need is rural electrification. We do not need a four-hour electricity. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government:- (a) whether he is aware that the rehabilitation of Kipanga Street (formerly Wood Street) in Eastleigh Estate has stalled; (b) what steps the Government will take to ensure that the sewerage system in the area is also upgraded; and, (c) when the rehabilitation project will resume. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, I wish to inform him that his contractor has not been on the ground from October until late June this year. For him to say that the project has just been slowed down is not correct. I would also like to point out that it always takes a Question for contractors contracted by the City Council of Nairobi (CCN) to resume work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sewerage system in the entire Eastleigh area, from the first Avenue to 14th Avenue, were designed for a population of 30,000 people ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, without anticipating debate on the new Standing Orders, I would like the Assistant Minister to give us the completion date. Given the excuses he has listed as having delayed work, what is the new date for completion? I am just warning the Assistant Minister that in giving the new dates, he should take into account the fact that in the new Standing Orders, we will hold him accountable. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
