3 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to commend the good job that has been done by the Budget Committee. There is no doubt that this is the first time that the Budget Committee wants to play a major role in doing the critique of the Budget proposals and even consulting the various Departmental Committees before 15th April. I want to commend the Committee, the leadership and all Members because they did a good job. That notwithstanding, I want to propose the following amendment to the Motion.

3 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I move that this portion be deleted for reasons that have already been alluded to by some previous speakers. The gist of the argument here is in Article 241 of the Constitution. If you read Article 241 of the Constitution it simply defines the formation of the Defence Forces. There is nowhere where it talks about the Budget. This is the same with the Act of Parliament that exists; the Armed Forces Act, Cap.199 of the Laws of Kenya. The formation of the armed forces is the Kenya Army, Kenya Air Force and the Kenya Navy. ...

3 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill and in supporting it, I want to echo words of previous speakers who have underlined the importance of integrity in electioneering. Lack of integrity has brought a lot of suffering to our countries. Countries in Africa have become politically stable---

3 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you heard me, I corrected myself immediately. I said that it is because of lack of integrity in many nations that has caused instability and bloodshed. This is more so in African countries and we have many examples, starting with our own country where because of lack of integrity in elections, there has been a lot of bloodshed and political instability. Similarly, Zimbabwe is another example in Africa. Recently, Ivory Coast has been undergoing similar instability and bloodshed due to lack of integrity in elections. This also includes Nigeria as someone has already said. ...

3 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because that is clearly a point of argument. In his view, it was independent and fair, and in my view, it was not. It is clearly a point of argument.

3 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be corrected. If Parliament approved this, then there will be no point in suggesting here that the new Commission will take over whatever was done by the Ligale Commission and will address issues. This is clearly in black and white. So, I am merely alluding to the fact that the new Commission will take over that work. So, if that work had been completed, why then is it in this proposed Bill? So, it was not completed; there are issues raised and the Parliamentary Committee received complaints and they produced a report to ...

5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 16th March, 2011 the Range Marshall at the Olkanjao Training Area in Archers Post was met by two boys seeking medical attention for their colleague who they said had been shot. The Range Marshall mobilized his team and quickly moved to Grid 611057 inside the gazetted training area. They found a youth by the name Ltekana Lerete with gunshot wounds on his right hand. They then evacuated him to the British main operating base within Olkanjao area for First Aid and then to Archers Post Hospital for further treatment. ...

5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, this is not the first time this matter is coming before this House. Last year, I issued a detailed Ministerial Statement at the request of hon. Letimalo on the issue of this gazetted area. I want to make it very clear that this area is a gazetted military training area. The maps are there and I made them available to the House and the hon. Member. Therefore, it is not true to allege that the British are leaving the area that is reserved for training. In any case, we should leave the British Army ...
