• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the hon. Member has clearly said, we were feeding these people when they were in Gilgil. He took the mandate and moved them illegally to some farm. So, he is responsible for feeding them! The food is in Gilgil and I continue to distribute food in Gilgil! If the hon. Member resettled over 3,000 families, then I should have no camps in this country! view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, then he should buy the land and feed them! view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every hon. Member of Parliament has integrated IDPs. If we took the law into our hands and started resettling them, there would be anarchy in this country. That is what hon. Mututho is doing.

Mututho is doing – settling people from Naivasha in Subukia, so that he can get the votes that he needs to be a governor! view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because their food is in Gilgil. They can go back to Gilgil and they will get their food there; or he can use the Kshs1,600 that he used to transport them to Subukia to transport the food for them from Gilgil to Subukia. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know hon. Mututho says he moved 3,000 IDPs from some camps; my argument is, if he did so, then I should not have any camps. I should have closed the camps. Where he got the people from, it is only him who knows. I do not know. As of last week, I had obtained a list of the people who are there. I am not aware that anybody has died from hunger in that area. I take the issue of IDPs more seriously than he does, because I do not have a personal interest in ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they are there but I do not know who they are. It could be anybody. It could even be his relatives! view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this Question is a little bit gender insensitive! view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: And I am from Nyeri! view
