• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General wrote a letter to Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o on 27th April, 2007 and told him to pay. The Minister overlooked the letter by the Attorney-General and sought the opinion of the Solicitor-General. So, this is clear--- view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when will the Minister receive the goods since the Principal Legal Government Advisor who is the Attorney-General, has told him to receive them? The KACC has also told the Minister that they have no objection in him receiving the sutures. When will he receive those items and pay? view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I tabled in this House, two documents – an affidavit from Khaminwa & Khaminwa Advocates, which showed that these children had appeared before him and actually indicated that, having given the initial information, they were coerced by their parents, having been induced with goodies, so that they could reserve the evidence, which they did retract. The second document I tabled in this House was a video tape, and the Chair ruled that the Minister may use the resources at his disposal to make sure that he authenticates the two documents that I tabled. Could the ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg that the Minister responds to the question on the findings of the Government on the video tape that I tabled in this House. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that the documents that you refused to admit were purported to come from Government sources, and in view of the fact that the Minister is a Minister of the same Government, I wish to invoke Standing Order No.97(f), which provides that if a Member of this House deliberately gives false information to the House, then the Member is grossly out or order, and can then, under Standing Order No.98, be named. view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask my supplementary question, I would like to agree with you. The Assistant Minister should take this House more seriously than he is doing now. Government Ministers, the Commissioner of Lands and the Permanent Secretary seem to have a private arrangement with regard to land issues in that when poor Kenyans like the ones whose names have been tabled here have been conned by rich people most of whom are the Assistant Minister’s colleagues in the Cabinet and senior officers in the Government, they abandon them in the last minute and say that they ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Is the Assistant Minister aware that whatever nature of land transaction whether by the Government or private parties, usually the last person to sign is the Commissioner of Lands? view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been listening to both sides of the House and it looks like we are missing something fundamental and very important, namely; language is the basis of culture. Secondly, it is a proven fact of science by us doctors, that a child who has been exposed to only one language in the first five years of life, when you teach him or her a second language, that child is usually a better student. So I just thought I would help the House by saying that, let us not be so excited about English to the ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from this part of the world and I am aware that an average of 500 families live on these hills. In his second answer, the Assistant Minister has told us that they wish to have participatory preparation of the forests during this exercise. Given the fact that the forests were never adjudicated, it, therefore, means that the 500 families do not have title deeds. Therefore, they will not enjoy the other benefits of participating in a piece of land which is not theirs. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether or not it is ... view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the past we have known that in this country, privatization has simply been an avenue to perpetuate further corruption by this Government. I notice from the Gazette Notice that there are a number of hotels that they intend to privatize including Golf Hotel in Kakamega and Sunset Hotel in Kisumu. The Golf Hotel has now realized beyond 100 per cent bed occupancy as has Sunset Hotel, purely because of the development of Masinde Muliro University and Maseno University. Is that not another attempt to remove these public assets so that in the same manner that the ... view
