• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I can confirm that the Assistant Minister is a very good friend of Turkanas. He was a former Provincial Commissioner (PC) of Rift Valley Province. But the issues we are asking are not a storm in a cup of tea; for us to be taking tea discussing the same issues. The question which I have to the Assistant Minister is this: Last month, none other than the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister promised to deliver a Land Rover to be used for registration and issuance of identity cards. That, to me, is part “c” of this ... view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Question is at the heart of the provision of the Constitution that no part of this Republic must be discriminated. So, when some areas in this day and age are not accessing television signals, including KBC, which is a state organ, then you will agree with me that when the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC) says that Pwani si Kenya, it is because of the neglect of this Government. So, the more you delay, the more we are discriminated against. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is slightly different. This concerns the most recent displacements that have taken place. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: It is related in the sense that it is about Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), but it is different in terms of it being the Mau matter. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: In fact, the next Order is a Bill, but this is a Ministerial Statement. This information will inform the debate on the Bill; so, it is good if it comes before the debate begins. view

• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sought this Statement on the specifics of Mau resettlement and also in light of the clashes that have been going on, culminating in the tragic losses in Tana Delta. So, this was specific and must not be tied to the next Order, which is a Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for answering the question, although he has ambushed me and the rest of us. This is because last week they were at pains to demonstrate that it would be answered on Thursday this week. Mr. ... view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister ask for a minute and telling us that we can hold this Ministry to account on their word. Is he in order to mislead this House and the country? This Assistant Minister committed to resettlement before December last year. That was the Assistant Minister’s word! He wants us to take more words from him; he wants more time for people who are still in camps and have no homes when he is about to conclude his term as an Assistant Minister in a very comfortable ... view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to support hon. Karua. Only last Saturday, I visited the house of the aspirant. Knowing the kind of environment in which we operate in northern Kenya where there are too many illegal guns, we are really worried about violence towards the general election. I think it is important that the police come clear on the motive of this particular action. Secondly, if it is turning to be political, the other State organs such as the IEBC and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission must try to address this particular problem. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Internally Displaced Persons Bill, Bill No.21 of 2012, be now read a Second Time. This House formed a Select Committee on the IDPs to look into the issues of immediate humanitarian assistance to the IDPs and also to come up with a Bill that will look into this problem. I am happy that we have delivered as a House and I have the pleasure of moving this particular Bill. This week, we will be celebrating the International Peace Day on Friday, 21st September, 2012, in Eldoret, for our case ... view
