• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister cannot mislead this House that bumps are the cause of accidents when, in essence, it is when they put bumps without road signs on the roads. Is he in order to mislead the House? Is he actually telling Kenyans that all bumps should be removed in this country? view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has indicated that it is not their policy to put bumps on the roads. On this specific case of Mutwot, we have lost eight lives. In his own submission, he has indicated that within this financial year, he has set aside money to put in place pedestrian crossing points, road markings and warning signs on the stretch. He has confirmed that, that includes the bumps. The people of Mutwot have been making special appeals. I have personally visited the headquarters of the Ministry of Roads several times making the same special appeal. Now ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister must tell this House candidly what is happening in this situation, because this is a very attractive position; forty eight candidates applied and 21 were shortlisted. Only eight attended the interview meaning that 13 did not attend the interview. I am looking at the marks and the highest is 64 per cent and the others have 50 per cent. The pass mark for any parastatal should on average be 75 per cent, meaning the people shortlisted may not have necessarily have been the ones who qualified. Could the Assistant Minister confirm to this ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While we thank the Assistant Minister for confirming that those officers have been reinstated, if you heard him, he has said that after the Appeals Board sat, it forwarded its recommendations to the Commissioner of Police. Our understanding is that the Appeals Board is chaired by the Commissioner of Police. Is he in order to mislead this House? view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just as my colleagues have indicated here, when the Minister committed herself to come and give a comprehensive statement - I say the substantive Minister - the farmers in the Republic of Kenya expected a better answer than what the Assistant Minister has indicated. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are at the point where the farmers mainly in the North Rift have not been able to sell their maize because NCPB has stopped purchasing the maize. Two weeks ago, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister indicated on the Floor of the House that there is money to buy maize in this country and to date, nothing has happened. Would I be in order to request the Minister to take this very seriously; that farmers in this Republic are eagerly waiting? They are about to go back to farming and the indication from the Government, even ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Would I be in order to request that we support the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture’s position that he moves with speed and tables a comprehensive report in this House? view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was waiting for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, which was supposed to have been delivered yesterday but he promised to deliver it today. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Procedural Motion for the reason that the orders ahead of us are very important for all of us and this country. We must be able to get through them. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: However, while I support this Procedural Motion, you should take note that I was awaiting a very important Ministerial Statement from my good friend, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, who avoided walking in and decided to walk in after Order No.7. My prayer to my good friend is that during this period, he must ensure that the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) works as a team. The report that will come to this House will be from all the commissioners who were approved by this House. Their report must be inclusive of all the matters ... view
