• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I beg your pardon, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We do not want to tell untruths to our people that we are voting money to improve their roads, when we are not. We want the Ministry to prevail upon the engineers to stop using those funds the way they want. That way, we can improve rural roads. We recommended in this House that those funds could do a better job if they were utilised through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We can already see what the CDF is doing. If all the constituencies are like mine, I would like to ... view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I support this Motion and want to say that the Office of the President is very important. In fact, it is the father and mother of all Ministries. I talk about the Office of the President, with all utmost humility because I have a lot of respect for the President and the Minister of State for Administration and National Security. However, I want to say that the Office of the President has not provided the necessary leadership in the management of resources in Government and in other matters, ... view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this being the Ministry under the President himself, I have certain issues to address. The President did not come from Mars. He was elected by your constituents and my constituents. I have a responsibility to point out certain problems which I think the President, as the foremost leader, being in charge of the Ministry, should know. These are July 11, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1965 particularly matters that relate to my constituency; my people are hurt. They are hurt because they have no water. One may say that this is not the Vote for the Ministry ... view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that the Committee of Ways and Means has considered the proposals relating to Excise Duties, Value Added Tax, Income Tax and Miscellaneous Taxes and has approved the same without amendment. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating the Minister for Finance for the Budget he read in this House. I do not want to say that it is the best Budget because we use the same phrase - it is the best Budget - every year. I, particularly, want to congratulate the Minister for Finance because it was his first Budget and not because it was the best. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in summary, let me touch on what Mr. Muite has said with regard to pensioners. I want to thank ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: I brought a Motion to this House which was unanimously passed. That Motion asked the Government to release certificates to students who completed the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and cannot access employment opportunities. I have gone very far towards this end. I have appealed to the Minister and even petitioned the President on behalf of those poor students for the release of their certificates. Some of those students are orphans. How can we talk of looking after the youth when some youths are rotting at home because they cannot access employment opportunities? The Government should release those certificates. ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the Minister for his Ministerial Statement. From the Ministerial Statement, it is clear that Uchumi Supermarkets Limited is going 1284 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 13, 2006 under because of inside trading and manipulation of its shares. This can be equated to the recent case of Enron in the United States of America, whereby the US Government has taken action against the directors of Enron. We know that prosecution took place and people were jailed. We know for sure that Mr. Kirubi, who has been bragging around that he is extremely rich, was ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the events of the last few days have made all Kenyans, wherever they are, ashamed to be Kenyans. The theme of this year's Madaraka Day was: "I am proud to be a Kenyan". Today, how many Kenyans can stand up and say that they are proud to be Kenyans after what has happened? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this country has become a haven of foreign criminals. We are talking about the so-called Armenians. We have many more remaining, especially from West Africa. Drug trafficking is rampant in this country; thanks to Ministers of this Government, who are protecting ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: 1310 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 13, 2006 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country is awash with counterfeit currencies, thanks to the Government for protecting criminals. This country is awash with illegal firearms. Those criminals are known by the Government. Those particular foreigners went ahead and infiltrated the most important security organs of the State. They infiltrated the Kenya Police, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Immigrations Department and the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). What is left for this Government to remain in power? In the civilised world, a government that condones such security lapses resigns. view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is remaining in this civilised world is that those responsible for this lapse of security should resign. There is nothing else that is honourable other than the resignation of this Government to pave way for another one. view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these criminals were deported and booked in Business Class as per the manifest of the airline that flew these people out and yet they were criminals. This House must reject the appointment of a commission of inquiry because in the history of this country, commissions are appointed to cover up crimes and hoodwink Kenyans that something is being done. This House must be given the mandate to investigate this matter thoroughly and we reject the appointment of any commission of inquiry. With those few words, I support. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Radio Citizen and, indeed, the sister company's vernacular stations have made it a habit to insult, not only hon. Members but also Kenyans. They even incite communities against each other in this country. Mr. Mburu is just a messenger! The real culprit here is Mr. S.K. Macharia, the owner of the media house, whom we know very well why he has a grudge against hon. Members. However, the most surprising thing with the Government is that they continue and have given M/s The Royal Media Services so many frequencies in this country which are solely used ... view
