• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you should have allowed my good friend, Isaac, to ask a supplementary question. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The Assistant Minister must admit to the Republic that the Ministry has failed to enforce security on Lake Turkana. The statement says that the problem is not perennial but just an isolated case. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I have demonstrated, unless he wants me to read their names, that 30 Kenyans have lost their lives since 2000 on this lake. On 25th February, 1998, the then DC for Turkana, Mr. Reuben Rotich, promised, which was announced in the only national broadcast radio, KBC, that they would recruit more Kenya police reservists to assist the fishermen when they go on their fishing expeditions. It is now 11 years since then. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Minister, when are you going to provide additional Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) to protect fishermen? We do not want regular police officers. Keep the regular police officers at the police station, where they belong. We want the KPR to protect fishermen when they go fishing. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the Minister. I think she is doing a good job. However, she is swimming in the deep seas. The YEDF is a good idea that is about to be compromised by the poor standards of its management. The matter raised in part "b" of the Question is extremely critical. I want to confirm that Kshs1.7 million was sent to Lokichoggio Multi-purpose Society. This society went under, and not a single youth group has benefitted from that money. When is she going to give the good people of Turkana another institution that ... view

• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It was just the other day that the Chair deemed it fit for this Ministerial Statement to be brought much earlier. It was none other than the Leader of Government Business and Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs that you directed to ensure that this Ministerial Statement is brought this afternoon. That is because it is a grave matter. Only the other day, the police killed a young professional lawyer who had a PhD and reported that he was a Mungiki . view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it really in order for the Minister to continue waiting for a report of the police who may be implicated? Why does he not use the Kenya National Human Rights Commission, as suggested by hon. Gitobu Imanyara? view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to start my comments by commending hon. Affey for bringing this Motion to the House. I would like to thank further this party, the ODM(K), for considering it fit to bringing such an eminent son of soil from where we come from. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Parliament is the cornerstone of democracy. It is a place where, we as the representatives of the people, should take a diagnostic look into the issues that confront our people. For those of us who represent pastoralists from northern and southern Kenya and all the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), it is time that we looked at the kind of policy framework that has been in place; a policy framework that has deliberately been put in place to continue to marginalise and neglect certain areas of this country. The Tenth Parliament should make a difference. As the Tenth Parliament, we ... view
