Madam Naibu Spika wa Muda, pili, ningependa kuwashukuru wenzangu ambao tulikaa na kuzungumza chini ya Parliamentary Caucus for Reforms. Ningependa kusema kwamba walionyesha ushujaa. Nasema walionyesha ushujaa kwa nini? Kwa sababu katika vyombo vyetu vya habari, kumekuwa na mazungumzo ambayo yamekwenda kinyume na maridhiano ambayo Wabunge walikuwa wanataka. Kumekuwa na mazungumzo ambayo yameenda kinyume kabisa na ule moyo wa kutaka kuelewana. Ningependa kusema ya kwamba wote ambao tulikutana, tumesema ya kwamba jambo ni moja tu; sisi Wabunge tunafanya kazi yetu kama walivyofanya Committee of Experts (CoE). CoE walifanya kazi yao wakamaliza. Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) ilifanya kazi yao ikamaliza. Sisi ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the last 21 years the Southern Sudan has been at war between the largely Muslim North and the Southern side which is largely Christian. Our own former President Moi was very instrumental in securing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). It is, therefore, very sad that Kenyans today should suffer in Southern Sudan. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am particularly perturbed---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Minister for Regional Authorities Development paid a courtesy call following the deaths of three Kenyans, a Minister, Gen. Oyae Ajak. The only thing he did for our Minister was to convey condolences to the people who were affected â the families of the victims. What steps has this Government taken to ensure that compensation is paid? In Africa, Libya has been forced to pay compensation to the relatives of the Lockerbie bombing victims. In Kenya, the Minister himself has admitted that nine Kenyans have been killed since the 2005 CPA agreement. What compensation has he ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Government should take this matter seriously. When a compensation claim is to be paid between a Government and the victims of the Government that suffers, it is not a matter of the courts of the other Government but a matter of Government pressure.

Is the Assistant Minister in order to tell us that it is just an option and yet they are not taking any action in terms of pushing for compensation?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the IIEC, we are aware that there is a programme for electronic voting that is supposed to be underway for purposes of bringing transparency to the whole exercise, not only in the by-elections that are expected, but also to the referendum exercise. In keeping with the worries that Kenyans have, could the Assistant Minister confirm whether the Treasury has availed the funds that are required so that procurement can be done on time to enable us have the electronic voting system?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, apart from the issue that my colleague, Mr. Imanyara, brought in terms of keeping with the timetable, there is the question of the technical capacity. I do not know whether the Assistant Minister would be in a position to answer. We expected the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to have a sitting with the IIEC which falls under his Ministry so that he can come and tell us whether they have the technical capacity or not. If there are any difficulties, what should be anticipated? Are there any extensions of dates for the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to congratulate the Prime Minister for the speech he has given in this House.

10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Office of the Prime Minister is a legitimate office of Government that was set out in the National Accord, which we passed in this House. It has its functions like enumerated by the hon. Imanyara, when he read the Circular that came here. Ordinarily, when the Government makes public pronouncements like appointments of Ministers and things like that, formal letters follow to set out whatever duties you are supposed to do. The clarification I am seeking from him is whether he did, in fact, follow the pronouncement to suspend the two Ministers with formal letters to ...
