• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Very well put, Mr. Speaker, Sir. So, as a Member of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), we have stated that it appears there is lack of commitment from the Government to implement the Constitution. That is because when Ministers fail to come to the House when we are discussing various Bills for the implementation of the Constitution, what is this House expected to do? So, my plea to the Chair is to communicate with the appointing authority to ensure that the Executive takes the implementation of the Constitution as a serious matter. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister’s answer is: “The Ministry of Education reallocates money to cater for drought mitigation in the country.” In the first view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) What action has the Government taken to apprehend the killers of Messrs Mutuku Mbuvi (a watchman at Katulani Primary School), Phillip Mumenyi (a watchman at Kithendu Primary School), Stephen Kithuma (a pastor at Matuu Full Gospel Church) and Ms. Christina Syong’ombe (a vegetable vendor) in Matuu town? (b) What action is the Government taking to improve security in Yatta Constituency? view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the situation we are faced with in Yatta is a little bit very serious. My own parliamentary office has been robbed twice. Next door is a water company which has been robbed three times. On the other side, there is a hospital which has been robbed three times. Those primary schools are in a radius of less than five kilometres in one sub-location. Only last night, in my village where I go to buy salt, a watchman is fighting for his life. He was attacked last night at Ndalani Market. Only last year, my own mum was ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these two watchmen were murdered. As we speak, another one is fighting for his life. This is a vegetable vendor who was murdered. This is a pastor who was murdered. All these murders happened in one month. Surely, can he say that the police are doing a good job with all these murders happening in one month and without anybody being arrested? Can he give this House an assurance that we are going to see action, and the murderers will be arrested forthwith? view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is a plea to the Chair and also to the Right Hon. Prime Minister that due to the nature of business that we have and the time restriction we have, even the subject he wants to address us on, does come next week on Wednesday, so that we can move to the next Order. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you listened very carefully to all who have stood on points of order, what they are doing is basically debating the Motion. So, could I ask the Chair that we just go straight to the debate? Whatever arguments have been availed by Mr. Mungatana and Mr. Midiwo are, basically, debate. So, let us just move on to the debate. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have basically gone back to where we started. There are hon. Members who do not want the debate because they know this Report has the majority support. I do not want to mention an hon. Member’s name. If you look at page eight – there is no harm mentioning the name – it is hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. He does not want this Report because he knows that the recommendations of the Committee are not in his favour and he also knows that this Report is going to pass. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can we suggest ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday I requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Information and Communications regarding the ongoing strike by the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) employees who are going round with the slogan “Kazi Bila Chakula” (KBC). view
