• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support this Petition brought by my good friend, hon. Mbadi, I must say that we, the political class, have been accused of going to bed with the private media houses and ignoring our national broadcasting station. Today, the KBC is being referred to by the staff as Kazi Bila Chakula. Yesterday, the Assistant Minister stated that no action would be taken upon the members of staff who are on strike.

(a) How many men have been battered by their wives in Nyeri County over the last three (3) years? (b) What causes husband battering in the county?

• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, many cases of husband battering or husbands being beaten by their wives go unreported not only in Nyeri County but all over the country. The Government seems unable to deal with the problem of illicit brews. In parts of my constituency, brewing has been taking place since time immemorial. Why is the Government not able to totally crackdown on these illegal brews? view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the family unit is under threat because of illicit brews in most parts of this country. It is one of causes of failed marriages which eventually affect the children of that family. The Assistant Minister and Member for Nyeri Town, hon. Mathenge, once said in this House that they have a problem of illicit brew and that, a big number of men in Nyeri sleep actually under the bed, if you know what I mean.

• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought the honourable Minister was in the “Yes Team” during the constitutional Referendum.

Where does it say in law that for you to move an IDP and help him settle somewhere, it is illegal? view

If, indeed, there are 3,000 families and the food is in Gilgil--- If, indeed, we are here as a Government to serve the people, the Minister should not appear to be so arrogant and uncaring as not to think about that child- -- She should forget about her differences with the hon. Member. Is the Minister in order to take this matter of IDPs so lightly? view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I wish to ask Question No.2 regarding battering of husbands by wives in Nyeri County. view

• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to bring to your attention, when this particular Bill was being passed by Parliament, with the exception of only Mr. Mudavadi and Mr. Orengo, the entire Government was not here! view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Of course, Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is very active. I do not mind him! view
