• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the history of land in Central Province is one of the most contested in this country to the extent that, we remember the Mau Mau. The same history contributed to an exodus of millions of people from Central Province to Rift Valley and Coast provinces. Could the Assistant Minister tell us the history of that land that has remained immune to the inhabitants of Central Province, who were shielded away from settling in this land and, instead, were forced to go outside the province. What is the history? view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We might run away from this issue of owning large tracks of land in Central Province, but we cannot hide. We have been hearing that the Government would like to resettle the landless in certain parts of this country. The purpose of this Question, much as my friend thinks I am being cheeky, is to be told whether the Government is alive to the fact that the so-called Mungiki youth are crying for ancestral land that was taken away from their forefathers. Does the Government have an answer to this? Those of us who ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, being deeply concerned with the conduct of the Minister for Finance in the manner he has handled the sale of Grand Regency Hotel; the Initial Public Offer for Safaricom in total disregard of the provisions of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act and related regulations governing sale and disposal of public property; and his non-adherence to the provisions of the Privatization Act in the sale of Safaricom shares; this House censures the Minister and resolves that it has no confidence in him and demands his immediate ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am aware that before the Question found its way on the Order Paper, the due process was observed. But in view of the fact that the handling of this Question is deliberately meant to interrogate the conduct in private life of a former Member of Parliament, who served this country for ten years, I would like to beg that this matter be shelved and the hon. Member sorts it out amicably on a floor other than the Floor of the National Assembly? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. As you can see, hon. Members find it very difficult to come to this House in the morning. The real reason for this is because of the traffic jam in Nairobi. Now that we have a Minister in charge of Nairobi Metropolitan Development, could he come here and explain what urgent measures he is taking to make sure that professionals arrive at their places of work in good time? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House when he knows that inspite of change of Government and administration, policies of development do not go with the change? Could he stand and respond to the Question? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very disappointing that, even yesterday, I stood here on a point of order requesting the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to answer a matter that we had raised touching on the breakdown on the chain of command at the Administration Police Training College. This matter is not only limited to that chain of command, but there is a deliberate mischief at the highest level in the Administration Police, to attempt and deny a deserving Kenyan an opportunity to serve as the Commandant of the Administration Police Training College (APTC) by ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue is that the Minister promised to come and give a Ministerial Statement. But he has been dodging for three weeks for the reasons that I have aforesaid. 1534 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 2, 2008 view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. With all due respect to the hon. Vice-President, I am not using words that are any stronger than the import of this issue. All this stuff that I am carrying are documents from the Government touching on this matter. When you see me react like this, it is because I am dying to be given an opportunity to let Kenyans know how civil servants who are not "politically-correct" are treated in this country. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us that it costs between Kshs60 million and Kshs70 million to construct one kilometre of road from a low quality road to a high quality road. According to his answer, this road being 26 kilometres both ways adds up to a calculation of Kshs80 million per kilometre. Could he tell us who pocketed the difference of Kshs10 million per kilometre which adds up to Kshs60 million for the whole road? view
