• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: They are so many of them in this room. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as one of the people who were in Naivasha I can clearly say that this is one part of the Constitution that was not well thought through. Actually, what we gave in Naivasha as the Senate is very different from what you eventually produced. This is a fact. So, there is need for some linkages between the county government and the Senate. The work of the Senate here in Nairobi is definitely managing affairs of the county governments at national level and yet there is no linkage at all. Maybe not through this forum, but ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Mungatana to mislead the House that you can fire a member of your committee? Once you have appointed them, you cannot fire them! You cannot! view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would persuade my colleagues to really reconsider this particular amendment. We are giving too much power to the governor. The National Government is different because it is the entire nation. But some of those counties are actually tribal enclaves. For us to have the harmony, it is so strategic and critical that the governor, from wherever he comes from, has some level of control that is necessary. We make laws to contain and control people. A governor is a politician and there are so many critical considerations. So, I think giving a governor sweeping ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I strongly oppose this particular amendment. view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill. I want to thank the Minister for Local Government for a well thought out Bill which I think is well anchored on the provisions of our Constitution as far as the Chapter on devolution is concerned. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for some of us who come from the marginal north, the Bill of Rights and the provisions of the Constitution on devolution are the key milestones in terms of what we want to achieve as a people. I strongly believe that if well implemented, this Bill which really brings life to the ... view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many police posts and police stations in this country which are in very bad physical shape. Just last year, I talked about one post, Moso, in Iliret Location and up to now nothing has been done despite that the Ministry undertook that they would allocate some funds to rehabilitate that post. When will the Assistant Minister deliver on his undertaking? view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise for coming late. When this Question was called for the first time, I was not here. With your indulgence, I amended this view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister talked about the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and what the Government is doing to ensure justice is done and to resettle them. As of January this year, 30,000 IDPs are in Moyale; their homes have been burnt down, all the schools have been closed and Moyale is a ghost town. What is this Government doing to ensure that those IDPs in Ethiopia who have no homes to return to, no schools to take their children to, whether the Gabras or Boranas, get their justice? What will the Government do to ensure that those who ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is an emotive issue for the families of the deceased who might be watching these live proceedings today. Those officers lost their lives while on duty serving this nation. The least you can do to them is give accurate information and also honour them by ensuring that their families are well taken care of. Could the Question be referred to the Ministry of Education so that it can be answered effectively? That way, the families will know that we are doing the right thing. If you cannot get justice on the Floor of this House, ... view
