• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, burning of sugar cane was occasioned by the post-election violence. This was not just in Chemelil, but also in Mumias. We know that the Government, when dealing with maize farmers, gave them seeds and fertilizers. How come the Government has chosen not to apply any affirmative action with regard to sugar cane farmers? view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the last teacher promotion exercise, the Ministry promoted up to 4,000 teachers. In so doing, he discriminated against these particular A-level teachers. Could he tell us the reason? Secondly, now that he is going to promote them, could he undertake to backdate their salaries to the time they promoted the 4,000 teachers. view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If I heard Mr. Olago very well, he is attempting to substitute the name proposed for the Chairman of the Commission. That is perfectly in order, if you so permit him. However, if you rule that he goes ahead to do so, you will have ambushed Members of Parliament. This is because whoever will be proposed to substitute Mr. Miller, hon. Members need to have known him, read his curriculum vitae, made their decisions on it and so on. The Chair should not allow that this House be used for purposes ... view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to the good lawyers in this House, I know for a fact that before Mr. James Orengo was appointed to become a Minister, he was representing me in a petition case. As soon as he was appointed, he withdrew from my case and I took another lawyer. If Mr. Miller happens to be participating in another case including petitions, as soon as he is appointed, that thing will be sorted out. Lawyers, please, give us a chance! view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the hon. Member say that one Charles Masinde is a Secretary-General of a political party? Mr. Masinde comes from Western Province and I know him very well. I happen to know that Mr. Masinde has fought for democratisation in this country; once upon a time, he was a member of the political party called New Ford-K. I can inform the House confidently that Mr. Masinde is no longer an official in the New Ford-K. If the House cares to know, I have the list of the registered officials ... view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion, hoping that as we inject fresh blood into the Board, it will be reason for us to see a renewal in the fight against corruption. As I talk about corruption in this country, I wonder what happened to the Office of the Attorney-General. Under normal circumstances, if the Office of the Attorney-General had been merged with the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, and the Attorney-General was functional, then the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) would be nothing, but just a small and efficient department within that ... view

• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Attorney-General had been merged with the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, there would be harmony. Indeed, the so-called "KACC" would be nothing, but a small and very efficient department within that Ministry. All this wastage of resources in terms of money and personnel is simply because the Office of the Attorney-General is not functioning. view
• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Kenyans, especially Members of Parliament, must never lose the fight against corruption. We must never give up. If you give up, what would be your alternative? I want to beg hon. Members of this House that, if we are going to commit our minds to fighting corruption, let us also commit our hearts to fighting corruption. It is quite evident in this House that corruption is bad so long as you are able to point your finger at the person who is perpetrating it. However, when you suspect that you are involved in corruption, you fight back in such a ... view
