• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the Agenda Four items was the issue of youth empowerment. We do know that last year, there was a matter before this House about the Kazi Kwa Vijana (KKV) Programme and how the initiative had flopped. The hon. Prime Minister did indicate to the House that, indeed, they were returning Kshs4.3 billion back to the World Bank for restructuring of the Youth Empowerment Programme. We are in a new year and several months away from an election. How long would it take for this restructuring to be done, so that this Kshs4.3 billion can get ... view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Prime Minister to state before this House that it is malicious for an hon. Member to seek clarification about a matter touching the youth of this country and purported misappropriation of funds, which the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports as well as the Prime Minister, in his Statement, did admit? Is he in order? view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion. I believe the extension of the hours is because of the heavy legislative agenda before us that will bring before this House matters that are of sensitive nature that have long divided this nation and caused us to shed blood. These are matters touching on boundaries, land and devolution of resources. We need to go beyond the extra mile to ensure that we discharge our mandate. I support. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has indicated that only one suspect has been arrested so far – he mentioned Mike June Miruye. What about those who had been mentioned as having been behind the nefarious crime that saw this gang loot and kill, including the DC, Marinyang and AP Corporal Ogutu? Why have the two not been arrested? Why are they still walking around scot-free and intimidating witnesses? Why are they still intimidating even an award winning journalist with TheStandard newspaper and KTN, Robert Wanyonyi, who has gone into hiding because he view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is a journalist who is in hiding as a result of death threats from administrative officers in this area. He is called Robert Wanyonyi. What is the Assistant Minister doing to ensure that his security is guaranteed? view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not hear the Minister emphasize much on the dykes with regard to the Budalangi area. The Government had put up dykes and there was a request for maintenance of these dykes. I do not know what the Government is doing about the dykes in Budalangi and also the children and women who are affected. When we visited Budalangi they were in bad state. The food being supplied was not conducive for little children. They needed Unimix or something softer than just the maize and beans being supplied. Is there some special attention to the children ... view

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of this Committee that has been troubled for many months, and it was not easy for this Committee to come together. It was not easy for this Committee to agree. We took our time and executed our mandate in vetting these candidates, particularly who is to become the Chairman of Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission. By so doing, our mandate was guided by the provisions of the law, particularly Section 5 of the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission. That particular section requires that a person shall be qualified to be appointed the chairperson, ... view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when you look at Chapter 6 and one thing many Members who have contributed, I think they are backing the wrong tree. They are blaming the Committee, and they are, probably, casting aspersion. But they have not looked at the provisions of Chapter 6, particularly Article 7(2), which requires that the guiding principles of leadership and integrity, including selection on the basis of personal integrity must be taken into account. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, integrity is only one aspect we are looking at. Competence is another aspect. This, we are saying, is Matemu a person of integrity? view
