• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: There are two points on this one. There is the issue of population. We must be a wonderful country, that one corner of the country can have its population growing in a period of ten years from, probably, 300,000 or 400,000 people to two million people. When you subject it to the dynamics of demography, you will find that even in that increment from 300,000 to two million people, there are more men than women in that population. As leaders of this country, I believe that these are some of the things that we will iron out when we will ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg that the HANSARD strikes all those words that are attributed to me and, therefore, condemning Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o. In fact, had I not put him under pressure, I would have wrongfully thought that he is the one who visited this unfair thing to me. But since hon. Kimunya is there, he was the Minister for Finance and I do not know whether it was him. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: I was just congratulating him on how he disbursed funds for the roads. I was just concluding by saying that when we win our elections, wherever we come from, be it from Mfangano or wherever, and we come to Nairobi, we should, as we discharge our duties, be truly children of Kenya. I want to swear that in pursuing my duties beyond the end of this term in the Senate, I will make sure that every county in the country gets its rightful share. I thank you for giving me this opportunity and Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, my respect to you. view

• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes. It is important for good manners and respect for the reputation of this House that the Member withdraws. Some of the points he is making are not going to help anything. That is because when you view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to request that you find the Minister in breach of the Standing Orders to this extent, that Commitees of this House are part of the House. When the same Minister appeared before the Public Accounts Committee when we were investigating the issue of the contract of De La Rue, he gave us the same story and when we referred to the Constitution, the Minister conceded and actually allowed the Auditor-General to access the CBK. That then gave us the result of the report by the Controller and Auditor-General which had ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the people of Ikolomani are in a state of shock from the way this Government is treating them. In July this year, the CDF submitted to the Board their projects and it was constituency No.11 to do so in the whole country. The Board approved those projects. However, as I speak all other constituencies have already received 50 per cent, but Ikolomani has not received a single cent. Could the Minister confirm or deny that the people of Ikolomani are being frustrated by his Ministry, because of the work that I carry out in overseeing the misuse ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not joking. This is not only limited to the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 that oversights the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). Also, in my constituency, a road connecting--- view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to prove that. view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the road that connects Sigalagala junction to Butere Town that serves my constituency again has been stopped. I went and visited the contractor and he told me that Treasury has told him that there were no funds and, therefore, he should hold. Is the Minister in order to refuse to respond to my fears and simply tell me that I should go and find out from the Ministry concerned when, in fact, this is also happening directly from his Ministry? It is a serious matter. I speak on behalf of my people. view
