• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you should not be parroting what the Minister is saying. I am not satisfied. The fact of the matter--- view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no intention of facing that wrath. Therefore, I apologize. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a matter of flow. This is a matter for which a Commission was established to ensure that public land is in the hands of the rightful owners. I appreciate what the Minister has done. I do not take it away from him, but the land is not with the rightful owners. The rightful owner is the NCPD. The NCPD, which has done a very good job in trying to reduce child and maternal mortality, is view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am trying to understand the Minister, but at the same time, I do not understand him. I know him as a good lawyer. So, he needs to be very explicit. He is trying to tell me that the NCPD can still own that piece of land when it has been allocated to the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons as if the NCPD can go to Ardhi House and claim their portion of the land when the Minister is sitting pretty in the Ministry of Lands. Even ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for indulging me. The issue is not the title deed. In the profession I belong, which the hon. Orengo does not, there is something you call ownership rights and users rights. Yes, the title deed is with the Treasury but who is supposed to be occupying the land? Both the Ministry of Immigration and Registration of Persons and NCPD are public entities organizations within the Government. The Government must allocate the land to the rightful owner, which is NCPD. That is what I am saying. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This opportunity by the Deputy Leader of Government Business to report to this House is not just an exercise in futility. It is in our Standing Orders, specifically, Standing Order No. 36(4). In fact the Deputy Leader of Government Business is supposed to lay on the Table these Statements he has read which he has not done for a long time. Laying the documents on the Table is not the same as keeping it to yourself. Secondly, if you look at Standing Order No.38 (2) on how business should be coming ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First I want to thank you for coming to the aid of the Deputy Leader of Government Business because he may not do as much as you have done. But my point, to some extent, is actually to say not all the Government business that has been brought on Wednesday morning has been resolved by the House to take precedence over the other business. But when the House Business Committee has persistently not allowed individual private Bills to come to the Floor of the House on Wednesday morning, which is a ... view

• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you look at the HANSARD, you also know that when the HANSARD is usually printed, it is given back to the author to correct. So, it is not cast in stone. I sought the Ministerial Statement because three Ministers and one Backbencher come from a Committee that is overseeing the resettlement of the Mau IDPs and we are concerned that the plight of those IDPs will be left in limbo and the Speaker directed that it be issued this Thursday and not next week. view
