• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the construction of these markets is something that the Ministry seems to be doing without any plan at all. Now, besides the fact that most of them are not on schedule, could the Assistant Minister inform the House what policy they have of relocating people who are in particular markets when they go to build a market? Normally the people are just relocated without any plan. They leave the local people to sort themselves out. This should be a part of their programme; you cannot relocate people to uninhabitable places. view

• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support that the extension be granted. This Commission has quite a bit of work. I specifically wish to mention that they have not visited Central Province where historical injustices started before they started anywhere else in the country.

• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just suggesting that a lot of Members have interest in this Bill, can you rule that an hon. Member contributes for two minutes, so that other hon. Members can contribute as well. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank my brother here, hon. Lekuton, for bringing this Bill. In fact, when we talk about corruption and all these things, there are issues of unclaimed assets, which is a bigger monster. We are talking here about Kshs200 billion. That is money that could be used to generate power for this country. However, these assets are with commercial banks.

• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that one of the wrong things the chief did was to conclude that this was out of hunger. This is a very remote area of Kenya. Could he inform the House what methods they have as a Government for determining people’s deaths? I actually think that the chief and the local people have enough intelligence to know when somebody dies of hunger. Which doctors have you ordered to be conducting postmortem in this area in order to know the cause of death? view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sometime ago, you wisely said that this House has a very big schedule in front of it. You also advised that we avoid spending time unnecessarily. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my observation today is that the Front Bench would have done much better to come to the point quickly. If they are not prepared, they admit so. We would have finished this matter. In that regard, I want to ask you whether the Front Bench is in order to continue going round even on a straight forward matter which I have observed since your ruling. view
