• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has been very clear on what he will do with the people who have settled on land unfairly. Could he use this opportunity to make an undertaking that those people who grabbed the old Kakamega Showground which has been given to the university of Masinde Muliro will again be forced to leave the place for development by the university? view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of Order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week the Chair directed the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources to give a report to this House on the progress made on the petition for Timboroa Squatters Alliance. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, without looking like I want to drive the Chair, if you granted that request, you would be allowing the Committee to break the Standing Orders of this House, because the Chair ruled at that time when I moved the petition that they should respond within 21 days. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 30th March, 2010, I brought here a petition on behalf of Kiborowa squatters and you directed that the matter be referred to the Departmental Committee on Land and Natural Resources, and that the Committee reports its findings to this House within 21 days. But because there was a Recess, it lapsed and so I would like that you issue fresh directions. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reason for this human/wildlife conflict is because of competition for the resources. When this decision was made in 1953, the population of Taita was around 100,000 people. At the moment, they are over 500,000 people. What percentage of the resources of the proceeds of tourism do they inject directly into the local economy to help those people to sustain themselves? view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is only yesterday when Mr. Kenyatta shocked us by telling us that he could not answer a Question because he was waiting for his Assistant Minister, Dr. Oburu, to come and answer it. Now, this time the substantive Minister, Prof. Saitoti, is in the country, but he does not want to answer the Question; he is saying we wait for his Assistant Minister. Are we going to run Parliament that way? view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. According to our Standing Orders, we carry out business in this House based on our traditions and customs. We have, clearly, over the short period that this country has been under the Prime Minister set a tradition whereby we are alerted in advance either the questions we will raise to the Prime Minister or the Statement he will make. The Prime Minister is about to make a statement and we are expected, on behalf of the public, to make informed contributions by way of interrogation. Could the Prime Minister explain to the ... view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the Minister for that good answer. However, I would like to point to the Government that in Rwanda, the government allowed the Church to become politically very active, and the consequences were the genocide that we all know about in history. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Having said so, I would like the Minister to tell us what action he intends to take against members of the clergy who apply for licences for evangelical crusade and lure unsuspecting members of the public, including children, to a rally that eventually ends up becoming a hot campaign function. Could the Government consider banning all “Yes” and “No” campaign rallies and all religious functions? view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, secondly, there is the issue of the security organs in this country having been suspected to have been involved in the insertion of a clause into the Proposed Constitution in an attempt to sabotage the constitutional review process. Since the State was represented on the Bench that made the ruling on the legality of the Kadhis Courts, which almost threw the constitutional review process into confusion, and given that two of the grenades that were detonated at Uhuru Park on Sunday can only be found in the hands of the security organs, is the Minister convinced ... view
