• 19 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is good that you have allowed me to contribute to the Budget Speech. We look forward to a time when money will work for people and not people to work for money. We have to make sure that every cent of taxpayers is used properly by being accountable. In the Ministry of Local Government, auditing has become controversial. The Ministry of Finance is claiming to be auditing the Ministry of Local Government. However, the Ministry says that they are autonomous and they want to deal with their own issues. view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is dumbfounding! If the Government can deny human rights activities; hearing, seeing and feeling are human rights that a person--- view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is the Assistant Minister telling us? That the Government has no way of forcing the media to give way to sign language in the systems they use? All these people are human beings. Are you not violating the rights of a person to hear or follow up the programmes and events that are going on in the world? view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank hon. Weya for bringing this Bill to this House. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is now a necessity. It is not a luxury. In the recent past, people who owned television sets or computers were known to be people from a privileged class. That means that they had access to international information all to themselves. However, as years have gone by, Kenya is now moving from the past into the future and with various inventions, engineering has now come up with a science ... view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Khamasi talked about blackmailing. Did he mean to say blackmail or blacklist? view
• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Ministry is maintaining roads on "a stitch in time that saves time" basis. Roads in this country are in a deplorable state. Either the Minister flies or he has no experience at all, on what happens to drivers in this country. Heavy commercial vehicles have wrecked our roads. The bypass between Nakuru, Koibatek and Eldoret was not meant for heavy commercial vehicles. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that this road will be a bypass for the main construction of the Nakuru-Eldoret Road? view
• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that most land clashes victims have not been compensated by the Government; (b) whether he is further aware that, as a result of the above, the victims are squatters; and, (c) how many cases have been filed against the Government and what steps he is taking to compensate all victims of land clashes.

• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there has to be a distinction between land clash victims and squatters in this country. As we address the question of landlessness, this Ministry is not serious. The people who were displaced in 1992 were 10,000. But after ten years, the number has grown tremendously. How will the Assistant Minister identify genuine squatters or genuine land clash victims? Most of them are squatting on road reserves. Is the Government serious? view
• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see from the Assistant Minister's reply that his Ministry is biased and has forgotten Trans Nzoia District, which was a white man's land. It has many squatters and land clash victims. Those squatters and land clash victims have been left behind. Land was distributed in Coast Province and Molo. But nothing was done in Trans Nzoia and Saboti Constituency. What is the Assistant Minister doing? Is he saying that he will identify victims? Iyadi was a large-scale farmer. He is now a squatter. He was driven out of his 900 acres of land. Come off ... view
• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Bill is very important, particularly to our country. I have watched our road transportation in this country and I ask myself: Are we growing or we are stagnating? It is a pity that from 1963, we are still depending on the colonial road design. I will quickly move to where we went wrong while the Minister is still here. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to see a vein of roads in our country. For example, roads leading to Mombasa, Nairobi, Nakuru, Malaba and Busia are supposed to be three- ... view
