• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, students are not able to go secondary schools and the Government must, as a matter of urgency, immediately announce that all students should remain in schools. Headmasters or principals should not send away students because of lack of fees. When I was going to school in the early 1970s myself, we had a similar disaster in 1971. The late President Kenyatta said that no student from the affected areas should be chased away from school because of lack of fees. We expect the Government to do that now, in the very least. view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Livestock Department has not come out with an off-take programme even now. They are waiting for the animals to die. Why can the Government not say immediately how much money is available for the off-take programme, so that livestock owners can sell their livestock before they die and slaughter it for the people themselves? We expect that in the course of a few days or the next hours - whichever is possible – for that to be done. We do not want the World Food Programme (WFP) aid that comes from outside. That food contains Genetically ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Last time, the Armed Forces did some work. But what did they do? We had only two vehicles for a whole district and a constituency and each one of them was only a five- tonner. We want the Government to act collectively and show us real determination, concern and action and not Passats. view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Finally, farmers who have produced excess grains must be motivated. Experience has shown us that we tend to buy much more expensive cereals – twice as much expensive – from outside, where the quality is the worst. We buy GMOs. The GMOs are not good for our people. Give the right prices to those farmers in the North Rift! view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues, hon. Members, who talked before me in also commending the Committee for having done a good job. We are trying to reform our country. We are in a reform era. A reform era is essentially not supposed to be a role for the conformist kind of a person. We need minds that are so radical that most of us will feel uncomfortable with them. I am impressed. I am happy that the team we have here will do that job. I am also very happy that somebody like Ahmednassir--- ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I do not wish to go back to what you have just ruled on, there is a very disturbing thing going on right now. Members of the Somali ethnic community are being rounded up every night as we are here. Could the Assistant Minister give an undertaking that this will stop? view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. Indeed, the Committee has done a commendable job, a very good job, indeed. They carried out their own vetting in a very extensive manner. The fact of the matter is that we will have Kenyans of integrity who will serve this nation with a lot of dedication. We are sure that they will serve us very well. The nominees who are here are all known to Kenyans. The few whom I know myself like Charles Nyachae, Peter Wanyande, Dr. Ibrahim Ali, Catherine Muma and Philemon Mwaisaka among others, are people of ... view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Kenyan Delegation to the 123rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) held in Geneva, Switzerland between 4th and 6th October, 2010. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In all democracies where issues are with the government and concern ethics, you hear of somebody resigning or somebody being sacked. Where is the stepping aside in the law? view
