• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. September 19, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4011 Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all along, times have changed. It is an awakening call for this Government to make sure that we have a disaster operation unit in this country. When we talk about a disaster unit, we are talking about a search and rescue operation when there is a natural catastrophe like an earthquake. I was an eye witness on 2nd November, 1989, when an earthquake hit California in the United States of America (USA). I know what it ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to applaud my colleagues from Southern Sudan, where I was visiting and I came back yesterday. I would like the Assistant Minister to tell this House whether there is enough underground water in Tana River and other dry areas to last for 50 years after drilling all these boreholes? view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue is that people whose relatives are admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) cannot identify them. This is a very serious issue, particularly when people come from outside Nairobi, and especially those who come from upcountry, with no idea of how Nairobi is. Is the Assistant Minister going to rely on computerisation in order for patients to be identified from bed to bed at the KNH when either paying bills or receiving those 3972 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 18, 2007 patients? view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am standing on a point of order under Standing Order No.87. This Bill has been exhaustively discussed and there is a lot of repetition. Am I in order to ask the Chair to use his prerogative to call the Mover to respond? view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know from the Assistant Minister whether he is giving fish to farmers or he is teaching them how to fish. In which case, the Ministry of Agriculture promised to provide tractors to farmers. This is unaffordable and unsustainable for small-scale farming. What method will he use to make sure that these tractors are available at a 3866 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 12, 2007 nominal and minimal cost? view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is not a formidable answer from the Assistant Minister. Sometimes we accept gifts at our own detriment. I say so because the Chinese contractors are handling our local labour in a questionable way. What steps is the Assistant Minister going to take to protect our local labourers against harassment by the so-called "gift developers" to Kenya from China, in Nakuru? view

• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has to go on record that the struggle for Independence did not start in central Kenya in 1952. We had the Bukusu Rural Rebellion against the whites headed by Elijah Masinde Wadameme. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have the Malakisi Massacre. That was the struggle for Independence. Is the Minister considering putting Elijah Masinde Wadameme among the heroes of Kenya? view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to support Mr. Muite's proposal of opposing the Attorney-General's proposed amendments. If the Government is going to be allowed to muzzle NGOs, then it will be difficult for donor funds to flow to help the people who deserve it. I am one of those who started the first NGO in this country. I am well aware of the clause the Government can use to muzzle NGOs. view
