13 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the Minister's answer, it is quite apparent that the main impediment to the finances of this company arise from the huge electricity bill. Pan African Paper Mills is strategically located around the Webuye Falls which is on the Nzoia River. Could he consider putting up a huge dam and, therefore, have a source of hydro-power to help Pan African Paper Mills to have its own cheap source of power?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is dismissing my request that he considers putting up a hydro power station, because he will allocate 8,000 hectares of land. Since I come from that part of the country, could he tell us where this public land that he intends to allocate to this company is?

13 May 2008 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is one of the few Ministers who I think the public has full confidence in, because of the kind of history that he carries to that Ministry. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has just told us here that hon. Mututho knows the Minister's personal stand about land issues. Will I be in order to request, since the knowledge the Minister is talking about is private between him and hon. Mututho, that he uses this opportunity to inform Parliament and the rest of the country what his stand is ...

13 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, following that ruling, the problem is far much bigger than you have tackled now. Could you also give guidance on the issue of the right to respond because, when a Minister moves a Motion from the Government side, the first person to respond is the Shadow Minister from the Official Opposition? So, could you also give a ruling as to who will be having the right of the first response since you have ruled that you are not too sure whether we should go ahead and put in place a formally structured Grand Opposition?

13 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, although I am not the one who raised this matter, I notice that my friend, Mr. Mbau, is not around. I want to thank the Minister for this clarification because, originally, when this news was broken to the nation, the media told us that those people had been gunned down by the police. I want to thank the Minister for this. However, could he further clarify some things that are not very clear? There were two cars that blocked those young people, and people alighted from other cars, but he is not able to tell us ...

, could the Minister clarify whether it is the official position of the Government to sit down and negotiate with the Mungiki, as the Prime Minister has said? If, indeed, the Government has changed its position and wants to negotiate with the Mungiki, is it also going to negotiate with the youth in Mt. Elgon, who are called "the Sabaot Land Defence Force" and with other many militia that we have in this country?

13 May 2008 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due respect to the Minister, there is some confusion this Government is visiting on Kenyans. On the one hand, the Prime Minister has told us that the Government would negotiate with the Mungiki, while the other hand, as recently as two weeks ago, the Minister told us that, that is not an option. Since the Minister is responsible for that docket, could he make it clear to Kenyans whether they are going to negotiate with Mungiki or not? If they are going to negotiate, they should expand the dragnet and ...

13 May 2008 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is very clear, in the rules of debate, that the purpose of a Question is to press for action from our Ministers if it is so desirable. The question of the need to negotiate with members of the Mungiki sect is not just limited to the Prime Minister. Even the bishops have now come on board. We want the Minister to say, clearly, whether in the meantime, he has started negotiations as a new tact or whether the issue of negotiations is out of order.
