• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that cattle rustling is evolving from stage to stage. It used to be normal and traditional weaponry was used. People used to take animals, probably, for the purpose of paying dowry. Some young men used to go and take some few animals in order to pay dowry. But today, with AK-47 rifles, our communities are suffering and the Government must be serious! I am even shocked that today, there is no Minister here to listen to this important Motion! Even the previous Motion on food, which was very ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that cattle rustling has developed slowly into a very dangerous affair. As I speak now, castle rustlers who use December 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4001 sophisticated weapons have now moved to the streets. You cannot go to Lodwar today unless you have security on the road! You cannot even go to Samburu, unless you get armed escort because they have graduated! They have now left cattle rustling and are now on the streets waiting for people, hijacking cars and other things like that! That is another development of cattle rustling, which is ... view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs:- (a) whether he could table a list of Kenyans living in foreign countries as refugees and indicate their respective host countries and the reasons why each of them fled the country; and, (b) what steps he has taken to facilitate the return of those Kenyans. view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me thank the Assistant Minister for a well researched answer. He has researched properly, and has come with a good answer. However, my concern in this Question is that home is home. East or west, even south or north is not home! Most of the Kenyans in Ethiopia, Canada and the USA went to school; they are professionals. There are Kenyans who are doctors, nurses or engineers, yet here we lack such manpower. Those people fled to those countries because of very simple reasons. The only thing I want to ask the Assistant Minister is ... view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the refugees from Marsabit are in Ethiopia while the others are in Uganda. The Assistant Minister said that he has persuaded some IDPs in Uganda to come back. At the same time, he said that there is no persuasion for them to come back. Could the Assistant Minister inform the House what plans his Ministry has made to make sure that those who have come back from Uganda are actually given the same money? Secondly, what arrangements has he made using the same persuasion to those ones in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States ... view

• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is trying to mislead this House. He is trying to protect his colleagues. However, almost half of the Questions on the Order Paper have not been answered today. I thought the Leader of Government Business should have told the House what would happen to these Questions to have not been answered today. view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was on the Floor seconding the Motion by Dr. Eseli. The intention of this Motion is to bring about fair distribution of resources in this country. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will realize that, immediately after Independence, some regions in this country were favoured. Some were well developed and, even today, as we are speaking here, some regions in this country are actually well developed. Some are under-developed while others are developed. So, the Motion seeks to bring about equal distribution of resources according to the development levels of such areas. ... view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following amended Motion. The Speaker has allowed me to do it under Standing Order No.41:- THAT, aware that many countries are decentralising their Government structures to better respond to local needs; realising that centrally administered programmes do not always provide for effective programme delivery at the local level; aware that the Government has created a district in a number of constituencies on a one to one basis; this House urges the Government to create administrative districts on the basis of the existing constituencies. view
