• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My good friend, the MP for Yatta, has just alleged that some Ministers were caned in the 1970s without substantiating. Could he substantiate? view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to join my colleagues in saying that we deserve a rest. We deserve a rest because I know that all politicians in this country are busy day in, day out. In fact, I sympathize with them because I know that even after getting a recess of this nature, they will still be in the offices and not resting in beautiful beaches. So, I know that even this rest is a rest in quotes. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all Kenyans for voting for this new Constitution in a very peaceful manner. I also want to thank those in charge of security under Prof. Saitoti for doing very well in making sure that the deployment of security officers is done in a meticulous manner. We did not get any problems. I remember in the last referendum, my friend Dr. Khalwale and I were victims. A house belonging to one of my uncles was burnt and Dr. Khalwale’s vehicle was burnt. It was really bad. So, this time we want to thank ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Secondly, as a country, we should thank all the hon. Members of the Tenth Parliament. I would even say that it is the first Parliament of the Second Republic. I think we did our job. We really struggled a lot to tell Kenyans to vote for the new Constitution and they did it. This Parliament will go to the annals of history as one of the best Parliaments until, I think, Jesus comes. It has not been easy. If you go down the memory lane, you will realize that so many Kenyans have suffered, many lost their lives and many ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the just released census was done professionally. But I want to say that some problems were detected in the northern region. We must go to the bottom of this matter. Were these figures “cooked” or somebody sat somewhere and just distorted some of these figures? Let us investigate and get to know why it happened. Let us not vilify them and let us not make them suffer for the mistakes not of their own. I think the people in charge of counting must be answerable to this. I think on the whole, I want ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Vote of this Ministry and wish to thank the Minister for eloquently moving the Motion. I sat for almost three hours, but I will highlight three things. Agriculture is the backbone of this country. If we fix agriculture, we will have done a lot of justice to the people of Kenya. As you know, 80 per cent of Kenyans are employed by this sector and 20 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) comes from agriculture. So, we need to fix it, so that we can move forward. With ... view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I wish to support this Motion, and also support what the hon. Members have said on the issue of high energy costs in this country. This is a big issue among the people in the rural villages and the industrialists in this country. You will agree with me that high energy cost is a disincentive to industrial development. For us to realize industrial development, we must reduce the cost of energy to the lowest level possible. You will find that most manufacturers will have standby generators in their factories, because the KPLC ... view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 29 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to inform my good friend, Amb. Affey, that our universities have started providing those courses. Quite a number of them have started. It is not all of them. So, we are on course on that and we will try to do that. view
