• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I listened to the Minister very carefully and he has failed to give an apology to Kenyans. At least on the minimum, it is important for him to say, "There is a mistake, I am sorry and we are going to correct it". He has not done that. Is he in order? view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Government has over 40 Ministers who are paid by taxpayers. They are casually taking the business of this House as if it is a joke. They have not supplied any written answer for Ordinary Questions. This is not the first hon. Member to complain that he has not received a written answer. An Ordinary Question is not the same as a Private Member’s Question. So, I am surprised. They are just here. What is happening with this Government? Are they tired? If they are tired, they should tell us so that ... view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell us whether she is issuing a directive that pigs must not be slaughtered now or is she pleading with her officers not to kill the pigs? We want an authoritative statement saying: “Do not kill the swines.” She should not tell us: “Please”. Please, what? Talk like a Minister! view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: ( Laughter) view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs. I want to thank the Committee that has worked very hard and the team that has given us these names. This is the first time that there is an institutional attempt at correcting the problem of negative ethnicity within this country. We cannot tire to remember all the good intentions that politicians have had in the past. If you recall, all the political parties went out there during the campaigns preaching the unity of ... view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the kind of struggle that Martin Luther King led was different. It was not an ethnic struggle. His kind of struggle was racial discrimination. He said: “Black domination is as---” view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am about to finish. Martin Luther King said: “Black domination is as dangerous as white domination.” He was fighting for fairness. There is no big tribe that should dominate small tribes. Domination by a small tribe is as dangerous as domination by a big tribe. This is the message we want to send as Parliament on this National Cohesion and Integration Commission. We want them to start the actual work and Parliament will support them. view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the list. view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to support this Motion, particularly with regard to what Mr. Wamalwa has said. However, I want to add another angle to it. In reading the history of gangsters and gangsterism, a study of the La Cosa Nostra who were the Mafia of Italy, reveals that there is an interconnection between the actual operators and judicial officers, political class, some business people and the police. I am saying this because in that case study, it was found that those who were involved in illegal activities would buy protection from the police and judicial ... view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those people had political connections so that they could make a telephone call to people with political influence so that they could get released whenever they were in a fix. It is good that the Chairman, Mr. Kioni and some hon. Members of the Committee are here. Kenyans would like to know the politicians, businessmen, judicial officers and police operators who have been compromised by these gangsters. I would like to know the protective measures we will take in future to make sure that this does not happen. We may not have these problems in Garsen or ... view
