• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Out there, the public is still crying that they have not been refunded the money they invested in the Initial Public Officer (IPO) of Safaricom Limited. The Minister is today misleading this House that one of the success stories is Safaricom Limited. Even the shares of Safaricom after the privatization plummeted from Kshs5 to Kshs3. Can we allow this Minister to continue misleading the House as if the House is full of computer errors the way his office is? view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for that honest answer. To me, it sounds like the Government is friendly to the media in this country. There is only one judicial system in this country. I am wondering: Why did it require the intervention of the Chief Magistrate in Mombasa to have those gentlemen freed? Why did the Government take those people to court when, in the first place, they were neither accused, nor witnesses or officers of the court? Could the Assistant Minister clarify why the police are acting in total disrespect to the law that gives ... view

• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The rules of debate require that a Member should not mislead this House. Indeed, by laying the document on the Table, the Assistant Minister is misleading the House. We know that in law, a newspaper reporter is not under any duress to disclose the source of his or her information. Indeed, Magistrate Felix Kombo ruled in a similar case involving Ms. Kwamboka of the Standard Newspapers when she was taken to court to disclose the source of her information. He set her free. He is misleading the House by laying a ... view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, small African economies like Lesotho and Malawi enjoy a far much bigger share of the American market than a large economy like ours. During that trade fair, could the Assistant Minister tell us what he learnt about those two countries – as small as they are - that is making them have a better share than ours, so that we can learn and build on it? view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister is being disorderly. He knows very well that the Standing Orders require that he answers the Question. Could the Chair rule whether disciplinary action should be taken against this Minister by way of naming him? view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We, at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Mr. Prime Minister, are interested to know about the issue of energy saving bulbs; how much they are going to cost the Government, what was the tendering process and who won the tender. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I raised the issue of the energy saving bulbs and how much that project will cost. While answering, the Prime Minister has told us about the carbon points exchange. I have no problem with that. Could he tell us how much they will cost and also tell hon. Members how we earned the carbon points given that Kenya hardly has any green forest worth speaking about? How many points do we have today? view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The official business of this House is not transacted through Kamukunjis . Therefore, I would like to seek the indulgence of the Chair that since it is now quite obvious that this matter requires more time, instead of going to a Kamukunji which is not binding in any way, you rule that the matter be deferred so that we pursue it again next week to the satisfaction of the interest of Kenyans. view
