• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the President’s Speech. It was very refreshing for the first time to know that we had a speech with the input from the two Principals. That was very refreshing. The President’s Speech captured the urgency of the moment reminding the Tenth Parliament of the critical role they have to play in ensuring that the implementation of the new Constitution is fast-tracked. That was captured very well. It also gave priority to the speedy enactment of various Bills that are critical to the implementation of the new Constitution. However, while ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, I did not see anything touching on national healing and reconciliation, which is very critical at this moment. Maybe, we want to forget the matter, but it is still a crucial issue. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: The issue of resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) was not tackled. Also, a very critical issue on national security challenges, especially the extrajudicial killings that have been experienced in the recent past, were also not addressed by the President. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was shocked that as we face drought and food shortages as a nation, leading to Kenyans going through difficult socio-economic challenges, the President did not address this very critical issue. We know that about 85 per cent of Kenyans are facing starvation. Whereas we appreciate that many people are starving in the rural areas, we have the urban poor, who are the poor of the poorest in this nation. This issue was not tackled at all. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: We also have the critical challenges that we have experienced with the Grand Coalition Government – the challenges that we see every other day coming up from the two Principals and the two political parties. I expected this to have been addressed by the Principals, but the issue did not come out clearly. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: I also did not see from the President’s Speech a confirmation or a way forward on how we, as Government, intend to tackle the issues of grand corruption that we have been witnessing. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, because of time, I beg to support. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I want to start by thanking the hon. Member for introducing such a Motion. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: No, I am making a contribution. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is quite shocking that even under this new constitutional dispensation we can still talk about such big white elephants as the KenRen Chemicals and Fertilizers Company. It is true that we have a new Constitution which has provisions that give every Kenyan a right to know how public finances are expended. We cannot expect Kenyans to continue paying taxes while we deny them an opportunity of knowing exactly what their money is used on. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not right for any Kenyan or human ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I want to start by thanking the hon. Member for bringing such a Motion that, if passed, will impact immediately the lives of Kenyans at the grassroots. view
