• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to add my voice to support the amendment to this Bill. I want to start by supporting the issue of allowing young people who have already applied for identity cards to register and vote using waiting cards. I think the effort of every young person in Kenya to apply for an identity card is already good enough to show that they have the interest. According to our Constitution, it is the responsibility of the Government of Kenya to issue identity cards to all adults or those who have reached the age of ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in view of the fact that hon. Members are now being repetitive, would I be in order to move that the Mover be now called upon to reply? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could the Assistant Minister assure this House that what the Member for Vihiga has talked about will be taken care of immediately? When the collection of tea is delayed, it affects the quality of tea produced. So many farmers are actually suffering because the longer the tea takes before collection, the more the quality deteriorates. What has the Assistant Minister done to ensure that the request by the Member for Vihiga is taken care of to ensure that farmers get maximum benefit of good quality tea? view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to request the Assistant Minister to look at all the district hospitals in the country. I have many district hospitals and health centres in my constituency which are experiencing similar problems. So, if he could look at the whole country when he is giving that answer, that will be appreciated. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: The same thing, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could hon. Duale substantiate his claims that the police and GSU who have been sent to Witu are raping women? view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to also lend my voice to support the list of the commissioners. I think the names were long overdue. The police are an unfairly condemned lot and yet, they work under very difficult conditions. It is my hope that this Commission will move with speed to give us commendable police force that we can depend on in this country. The fear in the police is more of a misconception because people in Kenya have been brought in a situation where even following authority is a problem, so anybody who has authority has ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, besides just reforming the police and getting men and women who will serve this country, it is also our duty to ensure that the police are well paid and well looked after in the terms of proper housing. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also wish to support the amendment for the reasons articulated by my colleague, hon. Kathuri. My point is very simple. Let the OCPD be responsible for crimes and also traffic offences within his division. At the moment, he is not. This is where we are coming from. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm to this House how much consultation was carried out before this decision to increase cess was passed. What comes to light is that there was never enough consultation. I would request the Assistant Minister maybe to withdraw this so that all the stakeholders can re-look at this issue afresh. The amount of money that the Kenya Tea Board was receiving before was sufficient for their work. Right now, the 1 per cent that is being imposed will give the Kenya Tea Board over Kshs3 billion per year ... view
