• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has admitted that, that is an emergency and he is still insisting that some requests should be forwarded. First of all, the onus to send those requests lies with your personnel on the ground. Since this Government has not returned money to Treasury and we have another one month, could he indicate to this House when he will allocate those emergency funds to the school? view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue here is that his officers on the ground should have gone to the ground, come up with a report and submitted the necessary documentation to the Ministry. The Assistant Minister has just admitted that his officers did not act as quickly as possible. Is he in order to continue misleading this House with the same excuse that they are waiting for some documentation? I really do not understand--- view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is not a question. I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Lands with regard to their policy and, in particular, how long it should take them to respond to a problem on site. For example, it has taken them over one and half years after receiving payment to come and actually indicate the boundary between Konyo Gachuku L.R. No.168 and Konyo Gachuku L.R. No.8907. The Minister should also indicate, in his Ministerial Statement, whether it is really in order for the officers to make appointments with members of public and ... view

• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I wish to record my personal condolences to this family. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the person we are talking about is a celebrity. The Assistant Minister said that the police arrived at the scene after some five relatives had arrived. I do not believe that there are relatives who live in the vicinity of this late man’s home. The late Wanjiru was a celebrity. Is this not another case of the casual manner in which the police respond when they are called upon to attend to an incident? We have been told that ... view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, Nduta has been quoted in today’s newspapers as having said that when the wife came, in the first instance, they were in the sitting room. The wife left and returned to the house. However, in your Ministerial Statement, you do not seem to cover this aspect at all, yet you have quoted Nduta as your source of evidence. So, could you clarify the circumstances under which that boy died? Let us not see the laxity that we all witness. When the police are called to respond to an emergency, they say that their vehicles do not have fuel, or ... view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let us stick to the facts. The Assistant Minister said that the police arrived and met five relatives. In his Ministerial Statement, he said that the wife called the police when she left the gate, because she feared for her security, which is understandable. However, the police and members of the public could not be expected to react in the same way. I asked you how long the police took to arrive at the scene. They never arrived immediately, according to your original Statement. view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My concern is with regard to your directive regarding the Bill under Order No.8. Whereas you know very well that I abide by your ruling, I wish to make one or two comments regarding your order. view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Motion that is listed. view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, but I wish to make a comment in line with your directive. view
