• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Because he is my friend and brother, I just wanted to massage his ego a little big. This will give you an opportunity, hon. Minister, to cure the challenge you have in Clause 4(5) where there is a likelihood that the petition could be taken to the wrong House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the next and final thing that I want to make comments on is that this legislation is incomplete. It is incomplete in the sense that it looks like members of public will be petitioning Senate and the National Assembly just for record. When ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I think about this Bill, which I rise to support, I look at it as being the door through which we shall ensure that the survival of the state called Kenya and our national values is ensured. For this reason, I want to support this Bill and join hon. Wetangula in urging Members that if there is a Bill which we should all support, it should be this Bill that assures us State survival and survival of our national values. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want from the outset to congratulate the National ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister for Trade is supporting me vehemently. He is saying that the same obtains in the United Kingdom (UK). You cannot expect to be safe, unless you make it difficult, in the modern era of Information Technology (IT), for crooks to have difficulties in getting a number. We want a criminal who crosses the border from Uganda into Busia and then Kenya, to find it very difficult to make a call in Kenya, until he is forced to borrow a phone from somebody, and the moment he does that, that is the beginning of ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a minute to a presidential candidate and a minute to a senatorial candidate. Thank you very much. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to finish by saying that corruption amongst officers of NSIS will kill the force. It is important that we weed out corruption amongst consumers, namely, the people who implement and enforce. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I support the issue of allowing NSIS officers to carry firearms. This is because these young men and women work in dangerous places, amongst very dangerous people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Midiwo is our Chief Whip. In fact, he is an equivalent of a Minister. He has made a very useful assertion here that he knows that our respected NSIS body is being used to fund certain politicians. He has quoted the Office of the Prime Minister and the Office of the President. Could he substantiate so that Kenya can now know who in the Office of the Prime Minister and Office of the President is being given money? We must, as Kenyans, know! I would like to thank him ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Are you referring to me? view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad the Minister has confirmed that this is not an organ that is carrying out delegated responsibilities from the Government. Having said that, could the Minister direct that this association only restricts itself to issues that have been flagged out by the auditor so that they are guided by actual Government audited accounts? It might not have escaped the Minister’s attention but this association continues rating his Assistant Minister as the most performing and his own constituency as performing equally well. Is this a coincidence or are the Minister and his Assistant Minister attempting to ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all due respect, this confuses us because we used the Order of Business to prepare and so we are ill prepared and these are constitutional Bills. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem at Mpeketoni affects almost 90 per cent of our schools, because basically with the increase in population of Kenya, the population of most schools is also increasing. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what plans he has to ensure that the infrastructure in all our schools receives development funds from the Budget without involving the DEB, the heads of schools and so on? How much do you want to set aside for every school so as to improve the infrastructure in view of the growing population of Kenya? view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on his own admission, the Minister has confirmed that the Treasury has refunded a total of Kshs356 million to the World Bank CIDA, UNICEF and DfID. This money was intended to give Kenyans development instead it has been used to pay money that was stolen by officers. Could the Minister tell the House what action the Government is going to take against the following officers:- (i) the project coordinating officers; (ii) the accountant in the Ministry of Education; (iii) the Accounting Officer, namely the Permanent Secretary; (iv) the Minister in charge. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the ... view
