• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Of course. “Men” in the Bible means both men and women, unless you are not a Christian. Let us try to have a panel of great honour and great respect, which is going to be dealing with some of these matters because of what justice is. I wish to stop there. I support all the measures by the Minister and the Government to put our Judiciary in a better form. view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Prime Minister is just answering the first set of questions. The way we are going, time will lapse before any other substantive questions have come up. Is it in order to ask the Prime Minister to be a view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister has brought up a very important topic for this country. The greatest resource a country has is its people. The unemployment in this country is growing instead of decreasing, even as we say we are developing. That is because we do not involve the local people. The climate in this country - and ask any entrepreneur - is hostile to local people. Today not a single local legal company is involved in big jobs that are done in this country. Not a single consulting firm is involved in big projects that are being undertaken ... view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government is aware that things like electricity continue to hamper locals from conducting business. When is this Government going to come up with clear policies? These should not be policies where the so-called foreign investors - starting with those coming with Kshs2 million - come to open a small restaurant in Kilimani. When are we going to have local people having the right policies? I do not mean big companies coming from outside and small people opening fish and chips restaurants everywhere in this town in the name of investment. When are we going to have ... view

• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are aware that poaching has been going on and has actually increased in the recent past. In Marsabit area, elephants and rhinos have disappeared. Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Government know who the poachers are. The case we are discussing arose out of animals being scared out of their normal sanctuaries. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether that trend is going to continue because there is no conservation of our wildlife which is going on? The conflict is as a result of animals being scared out of their normal areas because of ... view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm that poaching has been going on, especially around Marsabit area? What is the Government doing to ensure that our wildlife is not extinct before long; especially elephants and rhinos? view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the very beginning, it was known that Kshs32 billion was required to settle the IDPs. When this country is seeking for justice for the victims of the Post-Election Violence (PEV), what justice are we seeking when we are subjecting our people to this inhuman treatment? Again, we are only being told about buying land but what happens with some people who came from their houses but have not been able to go back? Could the Minister confirm whether these people will ever be able to go back to their houses rather than buying them alternative land? ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Prime Minister for his Statement on the way forward for the new Constitution. We are getting into the new constitution but as we go changing in this country, I think we must all be very careful that we do not put this country either into a frenzy of political emotions or into a frenzy where issues like security are actually tampered with. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had members of the Cabinet issuing contradicting statements regarding, for example, the issue of the Provincial Administration. This country had traditional chiefs and some of ... view
