• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, being greatly concerned by the rising cases of accidents involving motor cycles popularly known as “Boda Boda”, being further aware of this fast growing sector that is providing affordable motorized and non-motorized means of transport to many Kenyans today all over the country; appreciating the role the sector is playing in contributing to our economy and in providing employment to many unemployed young Kenyans, and conscious of the problems and challenges facing this sector; this House urges the Government to urgently provide a policy and legal framework to regulate this fast ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we came to Parliament in 2008, amongst the first issues that were raised before this House was a request for the Government to come up with a clear policy regulating the boda boda sector. That came through a Question before this House. At that time, the Government assured us that it was in the process of framing a policy to regulate the boda boda sector. As we speak, we have one year to go before the life of this Parliament ends, and we believe that we owe a duty--- As we speak today, very many ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: was born in Busia, at the Kenya\Uganda border. In between, there is a no man’s land and, therefore, you would find young people with bicycles ferrying passengers from one border to the other. That is how the name “ boda boda ” came about. I do not know where borders are in Naivasha; maybe Mr. Mututho will show me one day where they are, but I believe that the term boda boda originated in Busia. Many young people lacked something to do. Many would ask their parents to give them a bicycle and they would start riding and then would ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. It is a matter of supreme irony that in the constituency of the Mover of this Motion, my good friend, hon. Keynan, people are starving because there is no food and in my constituency, as hon. Githae said, there is more food that we know what to do with. It is a matter of great irony, yet I would not agree with my friends who have argued that we should declare this a national disaster now. This is because this will give an excuse to those who are already ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to request a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Lands on the circumstances under which squatters occupying a 100-acre farm in Kisauni, famously known as “Mwakiringo Settlement Scheme” were evicted, when they had been issued with allotment letters for which they had paid the requisite Government charges. They have now been turned into Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at a time when the country is trying to resettle all the IDPs. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: I would also like the Minister to state in his Statement what measures the Government is putting in place to address the squatter problem at the Coast and other parts of Kenya, where similarly other Kenyans have been evicted, particularly from Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) farms. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the adoption of this Report and to thank the Committee for the excellent work done for travelling across Kenya, all the way to Nyakach, Lari, Kisauni and different parts of Kenya to look into this problem. This afternoon, we have seen a very able Minister who has actually gone beyond the extra mile to get Bills brought to this House ahead of their time although he has had to withdraw them. An area where we need urgent reform is in the police sector. I have gone through the recommendations and I ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm that the price being paid at the time for a 90-kilogram bag of maize was Kshs3,700 and what was being paid to the farmer at that time was Kshs2,300? Could he confirm that? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to mislead the House that this maize was not unfit for human consumption when KEBS had actually recommended that the maize should be returned? On what basis did they recommend that the maize be returned? view
