• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Members for those concerns. Indeed, I will start with the very last one. In terms of the constitutional Bills, I can attest to this and confidently tell the House that we have done everything in total consultation with the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and the Law Reform Commission. As of Tuesday, we cleared all these and we are just waiting for the formal endorsement by the Cabinet to go to the printers. From next week, we should have enough business in the House to clear ... view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: prepare to receive all those Bills. We will work together and we will give Kenyans all the Bills that have deadlines. In terms of the statements, like I did say, I would like to be given more time so that we look at them. Some of them, looking through the list, have obviously been overtaken by events while others have been responded to but are still appearing on the list. It was circulated to Members of Government and they are still coming back to ask who has done what and who has not done what. We will come back with ... view

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that as far as the Government of Kenya is concerned, none of its organs can be involved in that kind of criminal activity. Two, the so called report was not a report of the Kenyan Government; so, its authenticity and what it contained is not really the subject for us to debate because it was not our report. The other issue, which is more fundamental in terms of the coordination between what comes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of State for Defence, I think this House, and the Chair ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have already made a ruling and given direction in terms of how this matter will be handled by the Office of the Prime Minister. You expect the Prime Minister to bring a co-ordinated response in terms of what the Government has done on this matter. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Perhaps it is a bit worrying that we are using the privilege of this House to turn it into a House of speculation, whereas we have already created the framework--- view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I did mention that this House is being turned into a House of speculation. There are very sensitive allegations that have been made, including speculation on the very unfortunate incident--- view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason I was standing up earlier is because I was coming to brief the House on the progress of this very matter even before it was raised. If you allow, I could actually do it. view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the investigation into the probable causes of the accident began immediately; indeed, within one hour after the crash, through the accident investigation officials of the Ministry of Transport. The investigations team has been working tirelessly since the crash and all the necessary arrangements have been made. I want to emphasize that all the necessary arrangements have ... view
