• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, why there are disagreements between the Government and the leadership is because that land, which the Ministry, indeed, confirms was meant for genuine landless people--- That was the intention of the scheme. The so-called absentee landlords - or who Assistant Minister is calling the rightful owners - were people with land elsewhere. Those squatters have been in possession of that land for over 35 years. So, it cannot be that they are not the rightful owners. When the land was being allocated, it was given to the wrong people who had land elsewhere. So, the policy ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Prime Minister in order to mislead the House that the Executive is working hand in hand while the other day, he said that there are people who are sabotaging him and His Excellency the President? For example, on the issue of the cost of living, decisions are being made by some people in the Executive against the authority of His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister. Is he in order to mislead the House and say one thing out there and another thing inside the House? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Obviously, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister is anticipating debate. Is he in order to anticipate debate on a matter which will eventually come to the House? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, barely four months ago, one Benard Musyoki Makau was evicted, after having been in possession of that land for 37 years. This is in Ndalani Location. The Assistant Minister promised to take action; I would want to know what action he is taking to ensure that Benard Musyoki is reinstated to the land, and ensure that the so called view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: as he says it in his answer, remains until we have a final solution. No more evictions. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has said that the Government needs to wake up. We would be very curious to know when the Government will wake up on this matter. However, my question is--- view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand corrected. I think the words were “the Government is asleep.” I thought I heard that “the Government needs to wake up.” In any case, the question here is about the framework and it is not putting money in the CDF. The question is about following the framework of the CDF. The Ministry of Roads has a nice committee that decides where the money for roads goes and we get Kshs40 million. Under her Ministry, there is no clear cut policy on the minimum each constituency should get and that is why hon. Members want ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Motion that resolves to establish this Committee has come at the right time. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if our Government was efficient and committed, we would not have gone this way. However, this Government has proved on very many occasions that it lacks the commitment to do anything. This Government lacks the Commitment to even settle the IDPs, fight crime, defend its borders and reduce the cost of fuel and living. To show that this Government lacks commitment, let us see what the Government has done today. The leader of the Opposition, Dr. ... view

(b) Who were the exporters of the consignment of elephant tusks worth over Kshs.380 million and equivalent to 120 elephants killed, which was impounded by the Thailand Customs Department? (c) What action is the Government taking to address the issue of poaching? view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the fourth time this House is handling this matter. I do not understand why we have not got a response about the ten companies and yet, the Minister wrote a letter on 4th May, 2010? Could there be something the Government is not revealing to us? view
