• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like him to come back and consider the situation of the police in Loima Division, being deployed in areas where there is insecurity. Could he also explain why the Government has not deployed officers, when I have given them a police station in an area known as Kotarugu just because they say there is no water? Who is supposed to provide water? Those policemen should drink the water that my people drink, so that they know what it means to be neglected and marginalized this long. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not a member of that Committee. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could you also, in your ruling, consider the kind of punishment to met out on some misleading media houses? That is because when you have an issue like the one of hon. Waibara, which is impacting even on his election petition, it would unfairly disadvantage him when such misleading information is given out, and which anybody can check and verity from the HANSARD. The information is peddled to the whole nation as if it is the absolute truth. In the spirit of truth, justice and honesty, the Chair owes this House ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When there were attacks in Todonyang, we got the Prime Minister to visit the area and he made a Statement here that our borders will be secured. Todonyang neighbours North Horr Constituency. The Assistant Minister has talked about meetings that are going on in Addis Ababa. Fine, they should go on, but as they are going on, the Ethiopians have attacked another section of Kenya, which is not very far from Todonyang. What is the point of having discussions when you should be deploying the forces to deal with this aggression? view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just because I made points on other matters, that should not discriminate me from making my point on this particular one. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is what I had to say. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Standing Order that hon. Khalwale, my good friend, and I went to campaign for him, I am glad that I talked to the people of Ikolomani and they listened to me, and they brought him back. I congratulate him. The Standing Order says with the approval of the Speaker. He is seeking that approval on the Floor. He is directing the Chair on what needs to be done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to welcome hon. Khalwale ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Member to describe the anatomy of our judges in that kind of language when we all know that we were even looking for a female Chief Justice? view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I want to start by confirming to the hon. Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, and his former Assistant Minister, who is now the substantive Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development that I support this Bill. In supporting this Bill, I am a bit disadvantaged because I am speaking after my very good friend, hon. Odhiambo- Mabona, who is actually a very good lawyer and an NGO activist like me. However, she has dealt more with children issues to the extent that Members of the House have started a caucus on the children of Kenya. We are going to ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a great day for Kenya. For a long time we have been demanding for a supreme court. I am really glad that with the new Constitution, although it did not have to go that way, but this was part of it. We are implementing it. This is what we need to do. It is also coming at a time, when we are actually discussing the appointees to the office. It is good that, once we vet and approve them or otherwise, they will find now that they also have an office. Initially, they could ... view
