• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I have, very carefully, looked at Standing Order 80, particularly the issue of civil proceedings being active. The Standing Order presupposes that by the time the matter arises before this House, there should be pending litigation in court. Indeed, if you look at that provision, you will see that it provides that, provided that arrangements for hearing, such as setting down a case for trial, have been made---“ view
• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: In this case, this matter came before this House on Thursday, last week. This case was only filed yesterday, when the House was already seized of the mater, and when the Joint Committees of the House had already deliberated upon the matter and subsequently tabled a Report before this House. Therefore, there was no pending litigation before the court at the time the matter arose before this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to be very clear, so that in the event that any litigants were seeking to abuse the process of court by tying the hands of this House, ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has indicated that in the current financial year, there was an intention to settle about 14,000 squatters. However, we notice that there was no allocation for settlement of the landless in the current financial year. The last financial year is when a provision was made. When does he intend to settle squatters? Apart from those who were evicted from Mt Kenya and Aberdare Forest, there were squatters who were evicted from Kiboroa Forest in Trans Nzoia and some from Kyulu Hills to cater for the Mzima Springs and other water catchment areas ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill. The Bill comes at a very crucial time when the youth of this nation are losing hope. The problem of unemployment and the high cost of living has eaten into their resolve to be optimistic and hard working Kenyans; that they have resulted in a state of despair. The youth of this nation, who are the majority of our population have, indeed, instead of being the greatest asset, being almost 70 per cent of our population, turned into a menace because of the hopelessness that has set in. You have ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to congratulate the Minister for creating more universities. But we believe that this should not be at the expense of tertiary colleges. In Kitale, we have the Kitale Technical Institute. We have been wishing to have a university there. Is it not possible to upgrade the facility to a university and still retain that technical aspect? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, knowing that we have a bloated Government and a Cabinet where one Minister has more than one Assistant Minister; and in view of what the Minister for Finance is trying to do, by way of introducing austerity measures like cutting down the number of vehicles being used by Ministers, could the Prime Minister and the President consider, in view of the situation in this country, perhaps cutting down the number of Assistant Ministers, so that we have one Assistant Minister per Ministry? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wish to support this Motion. I also thank Mr. Ethuro for bringing this Motion which is long overdue. AMANI Forum has been around for many years but it has not been officially recognized. It is a forum to which all Members of the National Assembly belong. It is a forum that stands for three things: Peace, Unity in diversity, reconciliation and national healing. This is something that we all, as national leaders, must support because without peace there can be no development, justice and even the Vision 2030 that we have been talking about ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Rev. Niemoller, the holocaust survivor, once said that when they came for the communist, he did not speak because he was not a communist. When they came for the Jews, he did not speak because he was not a Jew. When they came for the Catholics, he did not speak because he was a protestant. By the time, they came for him, there was no one to speak for him. It is not easy to speak for peace and justice. At the funeral of J.M. Kariuki in 1975, Mr. Alfonce Okuku made a memorable eulogy when ... view
