• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion. THAT, in view of the fact that Kenya has continued to persistently experience famine and drought; considering that hunger has been experienced every year without any permanent solution by the Government; cognisant of the lack of law or a special body to take care of famine issues in the country; the House grants leave for the introduction of a Bill entitled the National Famine and Drought Management Bill to establish a legal framework to address famine and related issues.

• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Attorney-General:- (a) whether he is aware that Mr. Paul Eloto (alias Mzee Ariwonyang') was murdered at Namadak on 5th May, 2005 during the election of officials of Turkana Fishermen Co-operative Society Limited; (b) under what circumstances a Kenya Police Reservist (KPR) suspected of the murder was released from police custody in Kitale; and, (c) what the status of the court case in this matter is. view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Attorney-General for that good reply. However, the response to part "b" of the Question talks of withdrawal of the murder charge and substituting it with a public inquest. What necessitated the withdrawal of the murder charge? That is because the murder took place in broad daylight and there were many witnesses, including some policemen. That was a case of somebody shooting another one and killing him. Justice delayed is justice denied, Mr. Attorney-General. view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the reasons given by the Attorney-General that led the High Court to withdraw the murder charge and substitute it with a public inquest, you will see that one of them is that they could not determine whether the bullet that was recovered from the body of the dead person is the one that was used. I want to put it to the Attorney-General that there were two guns. When one gun is fired, you can tell. A policeman in the next police post known as Karokon actually determined which of those two guns ... view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the hon. Member saying "you guys"? Is that really Parliamentary and which guys is he referring to? view

• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing:- (a) whether he is aware that Turkana Fishermen Co-operative Society and Lokichoggio Livestock Marketing Society are moribund; and, (b) what urgent steps he is taking to revive these two important co-operative societies that deal with livestock and fish in Turkana view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for answering the Question, particularly part "b", very well. But you recall that the Assistant Minister said that the society is not moribund. But she goes ahead to give explanations such as poor management, inadequate, inappropriate and even a feasibility study--- The society is actually dead! I am surprised that the Assistant Minister is not aware of the existence of Lokichoggio Livestock Marketing Society which is one of the best abattoirs built by AMREF in northern Kenya. Everybody can see that project for himself or herself. But let us leave ... view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that they have prepared a Kshs96 million rehabilitation proposal. When will she avail this money to rehabilitate this society? We will revisit the Lomidad Pastoral Multi-Purpose Co-operative Society another day. We need the money. When are we getting that money so that fishermen of Lake Turkana can benefit? view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Chairman of the CDF, Committee we have been pursuing this matter relentlessly, because the law requires that the Minister, on a quarterly basis, disburses the funds to the CDF. I would wish to seek clarification from the Minister, as to what evidence does he have to demonstrate to this House that the Kshs3.5 billion has already been released? What is he going to do to ensure that the next allocations will be as per the requirements of the Act; that is, quarterly disbursements of the funds? view
