• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in moving this Motion, first and foremost, I want to thank the House because this Motion is sponsored by the Amani Forum membership who have taken upon themselves on behalf of this House to give the face of Parliament in terms of handling the issues of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). This Parliament is fully aware that we started our new political career in very trying and terrible times. The Coalition Government came at the start of the National Accord and Reconciliation Act, which this House passed in 2008. In the agreements of the Principles of Partnership ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to plead with the House that this is an opportunity for this House to be identified with the down-trodden in society. It is an opportunity for the House to show leadership and responsibility in terms of ensuring that we alleviate the suffering of people in IDP camps, as well as that of those who are considered “Integrated Displaced Persons” simply because they have been absorbed by very good Samaritans. We should not ignore them. I hope that this Motion will also assist victims of cattle rustling, who are also “internally displaced pastoralists”. Every Kenyan ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the comprehensive answer. As Chairman of Amani Forum, I had an occasion to visit various IDP camps in this country; Limuru, Eldoret, to mention but a few. In his answer, he is talking about 2,593 houses for IDPs in Turkana, but he has not put the camps in Turkana on the schedule. There are 13,000 IDPs in the larger Turkana region. You have only given them Kshs10,000. Why have you not constructed for them houses as you promised during your visit early in the year? How long does ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House that we should appreciate what the Government is doing, when the reason for this Coalition Government is because of these IDPs? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to feign ignorance of a document of such nature and magnitude, given that the only person who can exempt a vehicle that has exceeded eight years is the Minister? He can only request you to allow him more time, so that he can come back to us and give a satisfactory answer. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also wanted to contribute in terms of time. When you look even at the numbering of Questions on the Order Paper, there are Questions Nos.497, 507, 508, 502 and 476. This Question is actually much earlier than the rest of the Questions that have been answered. So, I just want to inform the Chair that the Minister really has no reason whatsoever, in addition to what hon. Kioni has already stated in law, to seek for more time. Parliament cannot be an excuse for an incompetent Government. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is speaking from the back, and last Thursday you ordered hon. Otuoma to---- view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order because this is Question Time and you have obligations to the House to provide leadership here. Hon. Members, this is the second time a backbencher is purporting to answer on behalf of Government. You have to protect the House. It is our job to ask the Questions and it is the job of the Minister to answer them. That is the way it should be during Question Time. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the re-interviewing of chiefs who had been recruited previously. I would like the Minister to confirm that he had actually invited chiefs for a re-interview and under what circumstances are they being re-interviewed when they had already been interviewed, given appointment letters and are actually working. I would also like him to confirm how many chiefs were affected, from which areas and on what basis are they being called to Nairobi. Even ... view
