• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support it. I want to thank the Members and also to wish them a very happy new year. I want to thank them for the spirit which we have displayed in our responsibility to implement this Constitution. Indeed, that is why we came when we were called. Now that we have withdrawn the Bills--- view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I commend the Members for the spirit to implement the Constitution; a responsibility we undertook to perform and I believe we are doing it. I also commend the Executive for getting us here quickly, so that we could withdraw those Bills and move the process forward. I want to urge the Members that during this recess, we can deal with those very important issues which are affecting our country and, of course, one of them is drought. We, as leaders, must lead from the front. It is not just a responsibility of the Government or somebody else, ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to urge hon. Members that when they are on recess, especially this time, with this drought, we are going to have cases of cholera, because of lack of adequate water, or not knowing where the water emanates from. So, I want to ask hon. Members that as they are out there, they should work closely with our health facilities and health officers to educate our communities on how the incidents of cholera can be reduced. This can be done by asking them to boil their drinking water, or have the water treated by the ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: I also want to inform my colleagues in the Government that we have a lot of afflatoxin affected maize filling all our silos all over the country. My Ministry has been to court and we have acquired destruction permits for this maize, especially in Embu, where we are holding over 31,000 bags of maize. If all this afflatoxin affected maize is destroyed in accordance with the court order as soon as possible, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of State for Special Programmes will be able to buy food from farmers and store it. We know that the Government ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do support this Report, but I would like to give some information. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: No, not the amendment, but I want to give information on summoning of witnesses, because I took the responsibility. I invited those names given; even those given by the hon. Member, my sister here, to my constituency office to meet the Committee. I attended and only left after those members arrived because the Committee was a little bit late and I had another meeting. I introduced the people whose names have also been given by the hon. Member. I also know the persons myself, because I worked with them. I introduced them to the Committee. I want to believe that ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me first thank the Rt. hon. Prime Minister for making it clear that this House is for debating issues. We come here to debate issues and not to gag people from speaking. There is no way the Chair can make a ruling if we do not contribute. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to honour this House. Let us give it dignity and let us debate because we come here to debate. I stand here to support this amendment very strongly. We cannot set double standards. We want to remember why we are ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think hon. Members must be allowed to speak. The hon. Member will have his chance to speak. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your protection. There are things we cannot change. You cannot give a so-called independent commission independence on one hand and on the other hand tell them in part “c” that they cannot use that independence to correct what is wrong by adding or subtracting. They might remove or add. We must give them a free hand. I submit that if we are honest and we support this and we want to set a commission then we need to relook at this. We need to decide whether it is right or wrong. We ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have the Statement ready and I will issue it this afternoon if that is okay. Otherwise, I can rush for it because it is in the car. view
