• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank my brother Dr. Otichilo for this very visionary Motion. I would start by emphasizing the obvious which is that, if we allow this project to go on, it is not in the interest of Ethiopia or Kenya. On either side, we shall have to face the challenge of decline in the fishing industry, livestock industry and many children both on the Kenyan side and Ethiopian side will be exposed to increased mortality because of increased malnutrition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe because the Minister has assured us that there ... view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate Mr. M. Kilonzo for the work he has put into this Bill and start by saying that I strongly support it. As I support this Bill, I am reminded that Kenyans have come a very long way. On that long journey, we have had very many sad moments. If this kind of law was there, I believe Josiah Mwangi Kariuki would not have been assassinated like a dog because he was fighting for social justice. I believe that Dr. Robert Ouko would not have been assassinated because he ... view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I support you! You know I have no fear for female presidential candidates. You can be assured of my support on condition that you are going to uplift the way of life of our people. This is the President that Kenyans are looking for. I hope he will borrow a leaf from Madam Ngilu and hon. Kenneth Matiba. Mr. Matiba won the General Election in 1992 but was rigged, of course, purely because Kenyans believed that he would exploit the water resource in this country and fight hunger. With those few remarks, I wish to support hon. Dr. Otichilo. view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Livestock Development the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the public stands to lose a lot of money if the construction of the recently started Isiolo abattoir project is not immediately stopped, re- evaluated and re-tendered? (b) What measures will the Minister take to ensure that the project is stopped and re-tendered in compliance with the Public Procurement and Disposal Act? However, I would to bring it to your attention that this Question was dealt with last week. When I rose to ask the second ... view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to give a partial answer to the question when he should have told us what percentage that payment is and what is the percentage of the completed work? Could you direct that he indicates the percentage of the work done vis-a-vis the percentage of the money paid, so that we can see whether they are proportional? view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the level of corruption in Zurich, the Headquarters of FIFA is such that we cannot expect FIFA to preside over free and fair elections in Kenya. Given that football is an industry that can employ so many of our talented youth, what is the Minister doing to ensure that the Government is pro-active to identify bona fide clubs to participate in the elections on behalf of the electoral process by, for example, limiting the participating clubs to only those that are currently in the premier league, the national-wide league and the provincial league? view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to strongly support this Motion. I really must thank hon. Affey for asking for this Adjournment Motion. Whichever way this National Assembly would want to look at it; whichever way the country would want to look at it, this is a failure by three people. The Cabinet has failed; the Prime Minister has failed and the President has failed. That is all. It is amazing that the same Members of the Cabinet, who have failed, are the same ones who are flying around in choppers saying that next year, they want to ... view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard it yourself. To them, the right to leadership is greater than the right to life by the Kenyans who die. Given that he is the corner handlers of one of the presidential candidates, it sends a real fear in me. view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to remind Members - and this they know – that Israel is one of the poorest countries in the world. They have no resources. However, Israel, which is in a desert, is able to feed its own people, give its people water and sell technology, including agricultural technology to other countries of the world. The issue of wrong priorities to this Government is such that those of us who sit in the Public Accounts Committee wonder why there is no money to feed Kenyans. Members of this House know that in our last ... view
