• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that I am wrong. A wife of a Sitting Member was involved. That should have been the right word. It is contained in the Report which was forwarded to the Attorney-General’s office. Could he now table the Report which was forwarded to the Attorney-General’s office? view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very apparent that this Government has no intention of helping victims of pyramid schemes. We know very well that as an Assistant Minister, he can generate amendments. Anybody can. He is being asked why he cannot generate amendments. My question to him was to table the Report, but not to explain. All I wanted was for him to table the Report from his Banking Fraud Investigations Department which he forwarded to the Attorney-General. As far as we are concerned, we will not get any help from the Attorney-General. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, they say that “talk is cheap”. When are you going to bring the amendment so that this House can act? view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid answering my question? I did not ask when he will start the process. I am asking: When will you bring the amendment to the House? Give us a timeframe. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Questions relating to water bodies, including rivers; sand harvesting and pollution of our water bodies have become the daily business of this House. I am just curious. Is there no master plan by the Government to address the issue of quality of water in our rivers as well as protect those rivers, lakes and other water bodies? This is an issue which is cross-cutting. It is not necessarily an issue of the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources alone. It touches on the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, and other Ministries. Does the Government have a ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House has been, on very many occasions, talking about pollution of our rivers and water bodies. We have been dealing with the issue of Lake Naivasha, Athi River, now Ruiru and many other water bodies. This Question would be best addressed by the Prime Minister’s office, so that we can get a comprehensive response by the Government in as far as Government commitment is to protect our water bodies. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government:- (a) whether he could apprise the House on the status of the Nairobi beautification programme; and, (b) whether he could also consider rolling out a similar programme in other towns and cities in the country. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is not coming out very clearly. Could she, please, clarify this: The people who were living in towns did not own land. Their livelihood was based on what they were trading in and they had permanently been tenants. However, because of the politics of the post-election violence they were evicted. Is that the position? view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Perhaps, the Minister is not aware that there is a Select Committee of the House addressing this issue. The question which is being brought up is that District Commissioners have, indeed, written to your office on the issue of integrated IDPs. The list covers not only areas in Nyanza, but virtually the entire country - even in your own place, Central Province. So, could the Minister come up very clearly? If she is not in the know and has not done her job, let her admit and ask for more time ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to support. Before I entered elective politics, and was still a voter, the area where I come from was one area whereby if you wanted to get votes, you gave relief food as promise number one. You would say: “If you elect me, I will bring you relief food.” You would be voted in. Secondly, you would promise to give them water. That has been a song. Even the Prime Minister today understands a bit of Kikamba Language. When he went there campaigning, he said: “ Mwienda kiw’u muyienda mwolyo.” Those ... view
