• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Imanyara is very ready! I did request hon. Ndambuki and even the Minister himself. This is a straightforward answer. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support my good friend, hon. Imanyara. Is the Assistant Minister in order to say that he goes into a lot of trouble while we know very well that the responsibility of an Assistant Minister in this country is not to make any decision, but to come and read the answer which has been prepared by somebody else? Where does the trouble come in? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to purport that I have not had the opportunity to be an Assistant Minister when I do not go for half things, but full things? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Maybe he is proud to be in Government! Those are things I was offered and I declined. I would go for full Minister! He is a professional Assistant Minister! view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter is apparently serious. It is only that it is pitting Members of Parliament from northern Kenya vis-a-vis Members of Parliament from other parts of the country. However, the Assistant Minister has taken this matter very lightly. I as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, we looked at the names and the people who were involved in the bombings in Uganda, the majority were people from upcountry; from Central and Nyanza. Therefore, if you are not going to ask for an ID from someone flying from Kisumu to Nairobi ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: is it not discriminatory to ask somebody flying from northern Kenya to provide it? The Assistant Minister has confirmed that the head is in Eastleigh. When that head is flying from Eastleigh to go and bomb Kampala, he is not asking for the ID. Is that not discriminatory? Could the Assistant Minister truly come out? If it is a matter of ID, let everybody produce an ID. I want to be comfortable when I am flying from Nairobi to Mombasa. I do not want to fly with the head from Eastleigh without an ID. Let everybody, including myself, produce an ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: because it was dusty. She did not have an ID, but what saved me was Kikamba. Is that not discriminatory? Those people who were not Kambas and did not have IDs were left on the road. The Assistant Minister should take this matter very seriously. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The problem with our good friend here is that he takes matters very lightly. The question here is; is it not discriminatory to ask IDs from people from a particular area who are travelling? If it is a matter of national security, let everybody produce an identification document. Do not target the Somalis only! view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs:- (a) what justification the Kenya Prisons Service had to recruit professionals from outside into the service despite having officers with the same qualifications within its ranks; (b) why the Prisons Service had to change their earlier signal dated 13th May, 2010 requesting serving professionals to apply; and, (c) whether he could provide a list of all the serving officers who applied for the jobs, indicating their respective academic and professional qualifications as well as similar details of those who were recruited from outside the service. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs for the answer. But my question to him is this: Does that not demoralize officers who are more qualified, have experience and are professionals in the service, when they see professionals with lesser experience within the Prison Service come in directly and get better services and they are denied that opportunity? He should answer that bearing in mind that it is the Prison Service that had a strike. I do not know whether to call it a strike or a mutiny - just ... view
