• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like this district, very many new districts have made the same application for the creation of new divisions, locations and sub-locations. Could the Assistant Minister use this opportunity to explain to the House the procedure and criteria they use to ensure that those applications go through and the time lines within which wananchi should expect this decision to be made? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that it takes six months when many districts, including Kakamega South which was created over four years ago, have made those proposals and yet, no decision has been taken on the requests which were done in accordance with the specifications that he has mentioned - population size and location? That was done at the grassroots but, four years later, no decision has been made. Is he in order to mislead the House that it only takes six months? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, please, do not punish me for being seen like I am going back. I am just emphasizing a very important point; namely that today, all the 210 constituencies are districts. So, this is a matter that affects all Members of Parliament. If you just leave him to get away with the fact that he will bring a Statement without deferring the Question, we will lack point of entry. I beg that you defer the Question. Further to the criteria, he should come and table here a full list of all the new districts, the number of ... view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government wants to respond to the issue of Kazi Kwa Vijana (KKV) Empowerment Project. The House is well aware that this has since become an issue of possible corruption in the country. The guidance I would like from the Chair is: Is it possible, in view of the fact that this issue is touching on integrity as it is, and that is the integrity of one of the principals, would it be justifiable for a second party to speak on behalf of the Prime Minister? If you so find ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Kenyatta, is in charge of the Ministry of Finance. So, because there is the issue of integrity, something to do with money and it is in respect of Mr. Kenyatta’s docket, I would expect that if we chose to allow a Deputy Prime Minister to handle this issue, then in that case, the right person to handle it, who is better versed with the issue of finance, would be the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Mr. Kenyatta. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is dodging the question by hon. Chanzu. Could he tell us what he is going to do in respect of Mexican and Nigerian films that are shown on our televisions almost on a 24 hour basis? Could he direct that those films can only be shown after they have received approval from his Board? view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, she has also stated here that “unless the Chairman of PAC wants to become the Prime Minister”. There is only one Chairman of the PAC for the time being, and that is me. Could she, please, withdraw that because it is unnecessary? When my time comes to run, I will not run for Prime Minister, I will run for the Presidency of Kenya! view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Olago is a lawyer, and I am a doctor of medicine. The medium of teaching right from nursery up to wherever we reached is English. He knows English and I do understand it. He has used the word “mischievous”. It is unnecessary. I understand the passion in their support for the Prime Minister. The issue we are raising here is not a measure of our passion for one or against. We are talking about matters of accountability. When I raised the matter, I did so because it is a matter which is topical and has ... view
