• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are two points that I want clarified. Could he indicate which areas in Rift Valley were affected by these threats? Could he also tell the House what improved security measures he has instituted in those areas so that we are sure that our people’s lives are not at stake? view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You notice that the Ministry of Roads is one of the most important Ministries. Could the Minister tell the House why he refused to distribute the district allocation books in the pigeon holes to the extent that hon. Members do not have copies of the same? For me to have this copy, I have had to ask for it directly from the Ministry this morning. Can he explain why he intends to ambush us? view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would just like to reiterate the point of order I raised a few minutes ago. The Minister should explain to this House why he has kept it a personal secret at his Ministry, the district allocations; hon. Members will not be able to debate his Ministry’s Vote from a point of knowledge. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I swear by the Almighty God that I would never mislead this House. About ten copies of the document were brought to Room 8 while I was seated there, upon my call to the Ministry. They are the ones that the Minister is talking about. It is from those copies that I received this one. If there is any room for a reprimand, this Minister should face it. view

• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I look at this Motion critically, basically, what hon. Members should be doing is to oppose it. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: That is because this House cannot be used by the Ministry to help it to develop the country selectively, such that areas where Ministers, Prime Ministers and Presidents come from are preferentially developed in this country. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: But because we are at a momentous time in our history, where we are about to move into the second Republic, I have prepared a Motion here which I intend to move during the Committee Stage to send a clear message to Ministers and Permanent Secretaries that Parliament is not impotent. In my Motion, I intend to knock off from the Minister’s Budget Kshs19.888 million aimed at expenditure on domestic travel, other facilities aimed at foreign travel, subsistence, teas and other beverages that they take. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was building my point about the momentous time we are in the history of this country. It is because of what is going to take place tomorrow that I am not asking the Speaker to approve my Motion. I would have asked you to approve it. I want the Minister to know that it is that serious! So, I am not moving this Motion because we all want to move into the second Republic with our Permanent Secretaries, senior officers and Ministers. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, my contribution is that, yes, hon. Members, let us support and pass this Motion. But as we pass it, if anybody who is travelling to Parliament wants to have a study in inequality in Kenya, then one should only look at the Ministry of Roads.
