• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to reluctantly support the Motion. view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been listening to the Minister and I want to take this to the next level. The Minister knows that Government of Kenya paid billions of shillings to a French company for the contract for the production of identity cards. We want an assurance from the Minister. Is it not possible for him to have an interim arrangement with a Kenyan company? The problem has been that there is over-reliance on this Government and over-confidence on foreigners at the expense of locals, whom he can sit and agree with, because they suffer like we do. ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In Sudan, an identity card is a nice piece of paper which can be produced by any local company. What is it that the Minister has to go to the French and if not French, the Americans? Why not the Pokomo? view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion of Adjournment. I just want to make three quick points and yield the Floor to the other hon. Members who are also waiting. The first one is about the nation. Our nation’s image is not in the best of light. As we stand today, our nation’s image is tattered. The image is tattered because of the bad blood that has been flowing between the two major offices. That is the Office of the President and the Office of the Prime Minister. I want to use the Floor of the House ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I plead with all of us that we use this time to calm down and focus on what we need to do; that is to pass the Constitution. We should reduce the spirit of vindictiveness and punishing other people. There must be space for all of us. view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: From our region in the Coast Province, I want to reiterate that we are not prepared to cede the Port to private owners, privatization or private ownership. This is not a simple matter, neither is it a joke. The people had a problem in Tunisia because they were denied their right. It started from a gentleman who was denied the right to earn an income by selling his wares. The Port is the single most important economic thing that gives us livelihood at the Coast. Besides that, the new Constitution has said very clearly that ports are a national heritage. ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, when the Prime Minister visited our place, one of the things we told him was that the road between Garsen and Malindi must be recarpeted. This is an economic issue. The Minister for Roads was told that he has to do it but nothing has happened up to now. We want this recess to be used to fix the things that matter to the people. We want this Government to be responsive to the wishes of Kenyans. I pray that they will use this time to respond to the needs of the people. As Members ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the genesis of this Question comes from the fact that a member of the Government specifically a Permanent Secretary from the Ministry of State for Public Service was quoted extensively saying that the recruitment that was done in the Ministry of Education did not meet the standards and, therefore, the people will be fired. Was this statement true? Who is the Government spokesperson on policy, is it the Permanent Secretary or the Minister? By what words should we go? We want him to tell us and the country. We are tired of this confusion! view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that concerned the this task force will miss out on the question of e-waste based on the Terms of Reference (ToR0. The Prime Minister has said that we have over 20 million users of the mobile handsets. Nobody is talking about what happens when it comes to the disposal of these mobile handsets. We are being given newer handsets every other day and yet there is no disposal system in place. We all know that these handsets have materials that are dangerous to human safety. I want the Prime Minister to tell us what ... view
