• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very disappointed by the answer given by the Assistant Minister. Is he aware that on the morning of 27th September, 2010 at 8.00 a.m. his officers, two of them from Kipini and six of them from Mukoe, went to a village in Kibelengwani and ordered all the villagers to lie down? Fifteen men were forced to lie on their bellies. They were also forced by KWS officers to eat raw meat. Is he aware that the new Constitution was passed? Section 25 of the Constitution protects every individual in Kenya from inhuman treatment from ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When people are beaten and treated inhumanly, it is not a laughing matter. Garsen is not that far. People actually came to see me. It is not a matter of telephone. Could the Assistant tell this country what he is doing to deal with these people? He should not go round this issue. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what has been happening in the outer parts of this country – I like the fact that hon. Nanok comes from those outer parts – is that, animals have been given a bigger value than human beings. In fact, human life is not valued at all. Today, if you kill a crocodile, the whole of KWS including Mr. Kipng’etich and the Minister will take a chopper and go to look at who has killed the crocodile. If the crocodile has eaten a child, nobody cares about this issue. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it true – because this is what we are told on the ground – that the current policy that the KWS has is that, nobody should touch or shoot any animals, like in this case where hippopotamus and even buffalos are just feeding on the poor people’s crops? Is it a policy of the Ministry of Wildlife that KWS officers are not to shoot; they are just supposed to “shoo” away the animals or shoot in the air? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Is it a policy or are they supposed to eliminate these animals that are causing poverty to our people? Can he confirm what the current policy is because people are suffering? Whenever these issues are reported, his officers just dance around. They sleep there, wait for a hippo or a crocodile to chase them away and they say that it is the Ministry and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) who are responsible. Can he confirm what the policy is? If it is not, can he say from the Floor of the House that the KWS officers should shoot these animals ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I know the problems he is talking about, however, there is a statement he made about the fact that doctors may be going to the streets because the Government does not have money to pay them salaries. In this House, we approved the expenditure, including Recurrent Expenditure, for the Ministry of Medical Services. Is the Assistant Minister saying that what they proposed in that budget does not include doctors’ salaries? What is he saying? We are very anxious as a country. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the Minister has admitted that there has been a delay in paying the balance, what about the interest aspect of it? Obviously, the value of that money has not remained the same. Could the Minister pay together with the interest which is normally 15 per cent, from the courts? view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to also join those who have thanked the Prime Minister for this very good statement that he has given us today. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted the Prime Minister to distinguish between the administrative changes that must take place and the legislative reforms that must take place. The administrative changes will happen with or without legislation being passed in the House, and he is the personification of the changes that the Government must do as Parliament continues with the legislative agenda. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when he mentioned the question of nepotism and negative ethnicity, I wanted him to underline the principle in the new Constitution that says that there shall be ethnic and regional balancing in the Government in all appointments. This is why I wanted to bring the mind of our Prime Minister to bear and his hard work; whether he has requested from all Government departments and all parastatal bodies a rationalization of the Civil Service and whether he has taken the necessary steps to bring this rationalization. view
