• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. By Prof. Ndung’u I mean the current and who was the then Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. May I remind the Government that it is not a crime to be poor anywhere in the world? One just finds himself in that situation. There are 37 helicopters with the army. The rich of Kenya have access to these other helicopters that he has listed. Could he tell us when they are going to convert some of those 37 helicopters to public use, so that they can be used by the poor people of Kenya? We know the rich have access to the ones you have listed. Could you tell ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, on a point of just accuracy, when the Assistant Minister tells us about the capacity which is supposed to be in a helicopter ambulance, he talks about the sitting capacity of eight passengers. This House cannot allow that. He should tell us how many stretchers those helicopters can accommodate. That is because we remember that, during the last Parliament, six Members of Parliament perished and an attempt was made to bring them to Nairobi. A former Provincial Commissioner (PC) who survived had to be put in between seats. I was very embarrassed at Wilson Airport ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My point of order is that, last week, hon. Imanyara rose to demand for a Ministerial Statement on a matter of grave national importance in respect of 60,000 children who received contaminated food. Hon. Imanyara is not able to ask the Minister, whom I noticed in the House, to respond because he has gone out to receive a Ugandan delegation on behalf of the Speaker. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am rising to request that this matter be deferred to tomorrow afternoon. I wish the Chair to note that the company ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg that you so direct--- We are shocked that up to now the Ministry of Public Health and sanitation has not taken any proactive steps to interrogate this issue where 60,000 Kenyan children were affected. That is only 60,000 children in one province; we have not talked about the Turkana in Rift Valley--- view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, you can give me information. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. C. Kilonzo for that piece of information. I stand informed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I wanted to make is that in the last century, there was something called chlorine. Chlorine was dumped in Eastern Europe into the waters and the fish in those waters were then eaten by people. At that time, the government was not proactive – it is the way the Kenyan Government wants to behave. But many years later, women started giving birth to children without limbs! I am so worried that this Ministry is now taking this matter lightly, ignoring the ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will notice that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has just walked in. Allow me to inform him that Mrs. Beth Mugo has just been in the House and deliberately dogged answering this question. Neither the Minister nor the Assistant Minister is in the House now. They have gone away because they do not care! This is because to them, a few poor people dying is good riddance. We are saying, “No”. We want this answer now. In fact, it is time you called for an extra ordinary ... view

• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no bad blood between Mrs. Beth Mugo and myself. I just want to set the record clear that there is nothing personal that I am prosecuting here. All that we are doing as leaders on the Back Bench is offering the leadership that the Government has failed to provide. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Shakeel Shabir ought to know that in spite of those 274,000 children whose lives are at risk, the Government is aware but the Ministry of Public Health has done absolutely nothing. If that is going to be misconstrued to mean ... view
