• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, normally, when you negotiate, you will have a lawyer on one side and another on the other side. The capacity to negotiate on both sides should be fairly equal. I want the Assistant Minister to tell us how many trained negotiators we have as a country. What capacity do we have? We are informed that a country like the USA, when they go to negotiate for any trade instrument in Geneva, they will pack a room with 20 people against one of our own. We want to know today the capacity the Ministry has in terms ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mandera East and other areas in the northern parts of the country have a lot of sunshine. Now, the question that begs for an answer is why the Minister would find it – and we all know the difficulties of the hydro power generation – necessary to bring, all the way from Elwak, this type of power instead of using the one that is more renewable and cheaper in the long run for the people of Mandera East? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister satisfied that, in fact, there is no racket on the list he has tabled? A cursory look at this list shows at No.92, on page 28, one Abdi Ali, who brought in a Mercedes Benz tractor; at No.93, Abdi Ali, Mercedes Benz Prime Mover; at 94, Abdi Ali, Mercedes Benz truck; at No.179, Abdi Ali, Mercedes Benz tractor. How many times did this man leave the country and return? Is the Minister satisfied that there is no racket or abuse of this facility? If so, what action is he taking against those who ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Standing Order No.97 is on disorderly conduct. It states as follows: “Conduct is grossly disorderly if the hon. Member concerned (f) deliberately gives false information to the House, or (g) refuses to answer a legitimate question by a Member”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter borders on breach of this Standing Order. I invite your ruling because he has given us a list of 186 vehicles. The document that has been tabled here contains more than 400 vechiles which have been exempted in the last six months. I invite your ruling ... view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is aware that with proper monitoring and treatment most diabetic people can live very happy, healthy and productive lives. However, almost one-third of those who have diabetes are actually not aware that they have it. Today, there are many patients in Kenya particularly, in the rural areas who are not aware that they are suffering from diabetes. Apart from the monitoring and treatment of glucose levels, this should also involve the use of basic instruments like the lancets and glucose monitors. The question I want to ask on behalf of all Kenyans, particularly ... view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. These assertions by the Assistant Minister are contradicted by his very statement. Is he in order? If really the duty of the police is to protect lives, has he given us any evidence that the police tried to help Mr. Mahrus? Did they dive into the river to try and help him or were they just ready to shoot him? view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to congratulate the hon. Mbuvi because he has asked a very serious question here in Nairobi. There are eight constituencies here in Nairobi. Out of these eight constituencies, we have six Ministers which means, that the people of Nairobi, particularly the voters have not been represented. Those people who really speak, who come out to vote have not been talked for in this House. Six out of eight means 75 percent are Ministers here in Nairobi. That is why the question of slum dwelling has never been tackled seriously. I ... view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to say that she does not have enough money? In fact, she quoted that they have Kshs747 million nationally for slum development while the construction of the House of the Vice-President has been allocated over Kshs800 million. Is she in order to say that they do not have money? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for the Minister. I know that he is not a lawyer, and all that, but I am seeking your direction on this matter, whether all answers that are brought before this House, really are constitutional. If a Minister can come here with an answer which says; “yes, there is a court judgement, but there is a Cabinet decision which disallows the respect of that court judgement”, is such an answer really acceptable in this House? This is a grave matter. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance must tell us ... view
