• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is an insult to the intelligence of this House for us to continue listening to hon. Wamunyinyi implying that Mr. D.G. Njoroge was responsible for the pending bills. Mr. D.G. Njoroge is the most informed person to chair the Appeals Committee. He was not responsible for the pending bills. view

• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not happy with his use of the term "half Minister". view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I want to thank Mr. Khamisi for bringing the Motion to this House although he did so a bit late. It does not matter how long it takes; Kenyans are looking for justice. They are looking for their resources from whoever looted them. What we are witnessing in the story of the Kenya Cashewnuts Factory in Kilifi is basically a political system that had lost direction and was just looking for property by depriving the people of their very existence. In the ... view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that Motions No.9 and 10 are similar, could we discuss them simultaneously given the fact that we have a lot of other issues to dispose of? view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I come from Turkana District. The issues affecting Mt. Elgon District are similar to those affecting other marginalised areas in this Republic. Whether we speak about 84 deaths or a maximum of 150 deaths in Mt. Elgon District, the issue is that a Kenyan life has been lost. People have been displaced to the extent that we have internally displaced people. As a country, we brag that we have brought peace in Somalia and Sudan. Charity begins at home. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this ... view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the President's Speech. I support the President's Speech partially because of the agenda that he has set before us, and the achievements of this Government in the last four years. I think this House needs to appreciate that it takes a bit of time for the economy to grow and the impact to be felt. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, insecurity is one of the key issues. The President, on page 21 of his Address, has addressed this particular issue. I am happy because as ... view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just the other day, the few Turkanas who have gone to school were murdered in cold blood by policemen in Eldoret. It is because of such things that we criticised the shoot-to- kill-on-sight order. One was a clinical officer while the other was a policeman. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is good for the Minister to clarify that issue. However, the truth of the matter is that those two people were murdered by policemen. Up to now, the Turkana people are demanding action. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is absolutely no contradiction because page 14 of the Presidential Speech says that we have made information available to the public and there are statistics. As a result, we now have a better informed public and close scrutiny by the media and the civil society, indeed, including discussions within the Government. So, there is no harm. This is just an appreciation of democracy. However, that is a side issue. The most important issue is that a policeman commits murder in cold blood and up to now there is no statement forthcoming from the responsible arm ... view
