• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Public Investment Committee (PIC) of the Ninth Parliament gave out a Report with clear recommendation that this Safaricom IPO should not go ahead. However, because the Assistant Minister wants to be told whether any action was taken to discourage this IPO from going ahead, he should be informed that he has in his office--- His boss is still the same one who was there at that time and he had this information. He should have respected the recommendation by the PIC. A few days before this sale was concluded, a company called Alkazar Capital was ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Assistant Minister has admitted that he does not have enough information. This issue is so important and so urgent that only yesterday when Safaricom floated its shares on the NSE, within a period of less than 24 hours, the shares have now dropped. I have just listened to the reports from the NSE and it is now Kshs7.15. Yesterday it was Kshs7.35. This matter is so urgent that the audit that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has now ordered for should be given an opportunity with full co- operation ... view

• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Less than three minutes ago, the Assistant Minister admitted that he has no idea how many people need food in Turkana. Now he has said that he has no idea how much he intends to spend to solve the problem permanently. Will I be in order to request that we defer this Question until the Assistant Minister is prepared to answer it? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when these Boards are being constituted, the Ministry normally allows the so-called sponsors, who include religious organisations or churches, to nominate a certain number of people to the Board. However, once these people become members of the Board, the church then insists that they must determine who will be the head of the school. Sometimes they go to the extent of insisting that if a school is sponsored, say, by the Catholic Church, then the head of the school must come from that church. The net result has been that it compromises standards. What is the policy ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a serious problem. What happens is that the leaders of those religious organisations or the so-called sponsors even threaten the headmasters. They tell the headmasters that they are coming to Nairobi to see people at the Teachers Service Commission and in the Ministry. Indeed, they go back with different letters. So, if the Assistant Minister is so new to the Ministry, could he admit that we need to allow the substantive Minister to take up this very serious case? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Attorney-General of Kenya in respect of the funds drive for the Internally Displaced Persons--- view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The hon. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is making extremely dangerous statements here about Members of the Grand Opposition. The reason why we are at this stage of business is because there were no Questions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when this matter was raised last week, Members of the Grand Opposition went and prepared many Questions. The Ministries are slow in getting ready with the answers. That is why these Questions have not been put on the Order Paper. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, we had enough Questions. Members of the Grand ... view

• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Leader of Government Business for coming out for the first time on the Floor of this House and admitting that Kenyans trusted a Coalition Government, which is composed of people who are incapable of working for not more than two months continuously. I oppose this Motion because of two very sticky issues in my heart. The first one is the issue of insecurity in Mt. Elgon. We have the military there. The local Member of Parliament, Mr. Kapondi, had asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security ... view
