• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a HANSARD copy of 12th October, where the Assistant Minister to the Minister said: “I want to report authoritatively here that those complaints have now been addressed.” But the answer the Minister is giving is that we are going to repeat the exercise. The Assistant Minister even went ahead to give a timeline in which the lead agencies would take position, which the Minister has changed. Is she in order to change positions everytime she comes to answer a similar Question? view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that the intention of this Motion is not to give Sudan as a country the choices. The choices are theirs. They are the ones to make that decision. I made it very clear. I am particularly happy with two Members, hon. Githae and hon Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry, who reached their Damascus and saw the light and supported the Motion from the point where they had opposed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Prime Minister for that elaborate statement. However, I want him to clarify his sense of justice; if justice can be balanced in terms of particular numbers from each political divide. Why was it necessary that the list was reduced from ten to six? If the idea is to identify who has committed a crime, I could imagine even ten or 20 persons could come from one particular side of political divide. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate your ruling and I think hon. Ojode is abiding by your ruling. But is it really fair for this House to think of their own hon. Member as opposed to the people in Turkana who are being killed because of frequent insecurity? This insecurity has been there for three months concurrently. I think just as important as it is for hon. Members first, then we must also ensure that the citizens we represent are also factored in. I demand for my Statement because I have been seeking for it ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that the Prime Minister is in the House and looking at the conduct of the Front Bench. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like hon. Ojode to clarify the different treatment that he has accorded to fellow Members of Parliament, in the matter of hon. Kutuny, hon. Kapondi and Dr. Machage who was an Assistant Minister. They were arrested and then charged. They actually spent a night in the police cells, while in the case of my good friend, hon. Waititu, who is an Assistant Minister--- The Minister has not referred to his ... view

• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT recognizing the critical role by the Government of Kenya as the Chair of IGAD and a party to the comprehensive peace agreement for the Sudan Peace and noting that the Comprehensive Peace Agreement has specific protocols towards the referendum on 9th January, 2011; further aware that Parliament passed a resolution to become a member of the Amani Forum whose vision is a region free of conflict; this House urges the Government of Kenya to do all in its power to ensure there is a peaceful ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Board came to Turkana, we agreed that for the CDF to contribute to the construction of classrooms, hostels and the kitchen laboratory, 50 per cent of the intake must be from the local community. That is why we are using our local resources. When will he ensure that 50 per cent of the intake to the Medical Training College, Lodwar, is from the local community? The Constitution allows affirmative action under Section 56. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not asking for more positions. I would not have built more facilities if the demand was not high from where I come from. We have qualified people for those courses. The Assistant Minister should just admit them. view
