• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. In June, I requested for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. I was indeed invited to attend the Committee sitting but to-date; I have not seen the statement. In July, I also requested for statement from the Departmental Committee on Health. Again, they invited me to attend the Committee sitting but to-date; I do not have a statement. I would like to know when I can have the statements. Thank you. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first of all, they requested for my e-mail address, so that the Director of Medical Services could know the issues that were at Nyeri General Hospital, but not so that the statement could be given to me. So, that was done. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Since then, I have not been given anything. Secondly, I do not give my e-mail address to the clerk. Thank you. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this report in its totality. One of the reasons as to why I do so is that when the issue of Erad came to light, I was the Minister of State for Special Programmes. I want to tell this House without fear – or maybe with a little fear – that if there is somebody who is corrupt it is Erad. One morning, he walked into my office. I had never seen him before. He said to me: “I have been sent from the very high offices. You have to sign a ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the gentleman who walked into my office was a director of M/s Erad Supplies and General Contract Limited. He is name was Juma, if that is what you want to know. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to assure this House that we not only want to investigate the matter but we also want to prosecute people. This is because even when the matter was taken to court, most of the times, the lawyers who were supposed to go and defend the NCPB made themselves very scarce. They did not appear for the cases. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish you could give me time to speak. They have all had their time to speak. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that was not a point of order. I remember that M/s Erad Supplies and General Contracts Limited was given a court order to go and have all the NCPB warehouses auctioned. What I would want the investigation to do is to establish the identity of the police officers who escorted the auctioneers, who demolished properties that belonged to the NCPB, at the detriment of this country. It took us a lot of effort to actually save the relief food commodities that were stored in the NCPB silos. So, M/s Erad Supplies and General Contracts Limited does not have ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did not realise that you had noticed me because normally I sit here and I have to walk out in protest. Thank you for recognising me. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I want to support this Media Bill, but I have a few issues because there are some areas which are not clear. The Committee needs to sit and clarify issues a little bit more comprehensively. For example, if you look at clause 46(a) and (f), one of the functions of the authority in relation to broadcasting services shall be to protect the right to privacy of all persons. I wonder what the authority is going to do if the broadcaster is in breach of this. We need to know how they are going to address that issue. I have looked ... view
