• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to pick up from where the hon. Member has left. This particular plot in new Muthaiga, I actually live six houses away from it. Initially, it was meant for public use. view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: If you have been to Diamond Plaza, it is not actually a school that they are putting up. They are trying to turn it into kiosks. The Canadian High Commission has actually written various complaints. The Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has actually issued a report banning those people from constructing. Last week, I visited the Town Clerk. Mr. Chatur knew I had visited the Town Clerk. Actually, 200 of us objected. What is the Minister doing to save some of us from crooked officers at the City Hall? view
• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me also take this opportunity to contribute to the Address by His Excellency the President to this House. Various issues were raised in the Presidential Speech which included security. The President indicated to us that by the creation of more districts, issues of security would be dealt with. That is moving services closer to the people, but the issues of security in this country go beyond the creation of districts. The first problem with our security system is inequality. The security organs in this country are not harmonised. You will find that the ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity to, first of all, support this Motion because hon. Members are a bit tired. They have been doing a good job. I specifically want to talk about those who are playing the role of Opposition in this House. We have played our role well. We have kept the Government on its toes. I want to believe that we will be much more organised when we come back to this House next time, and that we will continue to keep the Government on its toes. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The purpose of the Opposition is basically to get the Government doing what they promised Kenyans. We will be coming in firmly to ensure the manifestos the Government explained to us, as PNU, ODM, and ODM(K), as they sought votes of Kenyans, are implemented. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the biggest challenges we have in this country is the young people. Most of young people are jobless. We have a lot of good programmes, which the Government has been talking about to alleviate their problems. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: All of us know that the economy of this country runs on the Port of Mombasa, and on the highway from Mombasa all the way to Busia. This Government as well as the manifestos of PNU, ODM and ODM(K) have been talking about opening up the Lamu Port. This matter has been talked about for such a long time. We want serious steps taken, so that the Lamu Port is actually constructed. With the Lamu Port in place, I am sure, we can open up Ethiopia, Southern Sudan and northern part of Uganda. I believe that with that corridor opened ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, apart from just opening up that corridor, we should be thinking of a second major capital city in this country. Possibly, we should be thinking of literally moving the capital city from Nairobi to the centre of this country. Nairobi can remain our commercial capital as we create another capital city in this country, just as we have New York and Washington DC. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I want to believe that if there is any marshal plan that will work for the young people in this country, it is opening up the Lamu Port, a highway and railway line to Southern Sudan and Ethiopia. Ethiopia's exports alone are worth US$7 billion. All these exports will go through the Port of Lamu. We have not looked at the raw materials in Southern Sudan. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a pipeline from Southern Sudan to Lamu will create more employment in this country than even what we have today. I believe that if the two principals, or the three partners, who form the main core of this Government, sat down and seriously looked at the means to change this country, then this country and the Government, in particular, will be attending to more productive issues than getting involved in cheap things and cheap corruption like maize and Fe bruary 24, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
