• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to express my serious disappointment by this Assistant Minister. Failure to plan is planning to fail. This is what this Government is planning. It is planning to fail us in petroleum production, exploration and exploitation. How do you account the fact that we have Vision 2030 where we already have the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor Project (LAPSET)? If they can plan for Vision 2030, my good Assistant Minister for Energy cannot plan for a product that is going to be commercially viable in less than three years. Are you satisfied that this Government has ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister impute improper motive on the Member for Bura by saying that he has an interest in a particular contract. You know our Standing Orders do not allow that unless he substantiates what he means. view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first I want to thank hon. Githae for being prompt. Yesterday he released another Kshs1.5 billion. However, there are three things here. One is the gentleman’s agreement which he has referred to. The second one is the law and the third one is the timing. The law requires that at the beginning of every quarter, he must release, at least, 25 per cent. We are in two-thirds of the second quarter. So, we expected the Kshs10 billion that he has talked about to have been released two months ago. He is now talking about Kshs8.5 billion and ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. Ordinarily, I would not like to challenge the man known as David Musila. He says that he is one of us. However, today, he is the “Minister for Defence”. view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is not one of us. Is he in order to say that the subsequent operation – of course he has not answered the contradiction raised by the Deputy Speaker – was authorized by the provincial security team or the district security view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I support your ruling, although halfheartedly, being the Speaker, I submit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to send my condolences to the families of the three KDF personnel who were killed in Garissa. One of them is from my own county. I think Kenyans should start understanding now that when the three Members of Parliament from Turkana went public that you should not deploy KDF to any part of this Republic--- I think it is now becoming self-evident from the situation in Garissa. I want to confine myself to the issues of the Constitution. We ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to support my good friend, hon. Keter and the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on this particular Report and especially just to underscore the point that it is really nice and it feels good that this country can start appreciating especially the women from the pastoralist areas. Pastoralist women suffer double tragedy of being a woman and not being a man and being a pastoralist. So these kinds of opportunities are the ones that we have been lacking in this country for the last 50 years so that when our children ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, please, allow me to read it because it is so important. It is about oil discovery in the potentially rich county of Turkana. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy what the Government is doing to establish a Petroleum Master Plan for the country in view of the discovery of oil in Turkana County. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to agree with you. However, note this point: Ministers are not available here to answer Questions, but this Government can arrest me when I am in my constituency. Why can they not work that efficiently? We had a Press Conference in the morning and the same afternoon they wanted to arrest me. Yet for a Question that has been before this House for so many months, the Ministers are not available to answer. How do you reconcile the two? view
