• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: They were targeted, killed and not a single coin or livestock was taken from those people. In both cases, a father and a son among others were killed. They wanted to totally exterminate these people from the face of the earth. This is the case and yet this Government has not done anything up to now. Gabbras are a minority in Moyale and they only have one elected councillor and maybe one or two assistant chiefs, and yet this Assistant Minster stands here and says that this is not a case where a dominant community is exterminating the minority in ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, one critical issue raised by hon. M.M. Ali is about investigation to ensure that thorough investigation is done. We think there is a political angle to this in Marsabit County. Moyale and Marsabit will be one county. What is the Assistant Minister doing in terms of investigations to ensure that those people are brought to book? view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I think Kenyans have seen the process. I think it was a very transparent process. Many Kenyans who in the past were not given the chance to serve this nation have now been given the chance. In particular, Marsabit County which I represent in this Parliament; since these Commissions were set up, not a single person has been appointed from that county. However, today the name of Ms. Kule Galma, a lady from Marsabit--- view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion. I think the process was very credible and transparent. I wish I rose earlier on to support this Motion because out of the 100 appointments that have been done since the new Commission came into force, not a single person from Marsabit County was appointed. Today for the first time, the name of Ms. Kule Godana from that county has been picked. To address the concerns of some of the hon. Members, let me tell my colleagues that Ms. Kule Godana is a staunch Catholic like me. Even though she ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I just want to raise one issue. These commissioners, once they are appointed, they will have one major task of curving out 80 new constituencies. It is very important for them to be fair, transparent and to uphold the spirit of the Constitution in all manner. I am saying this because with the new Urban Areas and Cities Act, the issues of cities have been addressed. We have three cities, namely, Kisumu, Mombasa and Nairobi, but the issue of population density in other areas as stated in Article 89 of the Constitution must be defined very clearly. This is the ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I mentioned, Article 89 of the Constitution is very clear. The issue of the new 80 constituencies must be addressed by this Commission in a way that will be fair. Some of us will lose and others will gain. However, even those who are going to lose, let them feel that the Constitution has been upheld and the process was fair. We have very clear definition of what cities are as defined by the new Act. We know what exactly we mean by “sparsely populated”. This is very important. I hope this Commission will address this ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to join my colleagues in congratulating my neighbour and friend, Mr. Lekuton, for this very important Bill. I have all the faith that the President will assent to this Bill. I hope the financial institutions in this country will co-operate to see to it that we can realize the results of this Bill. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government:- (a) if he is aware that the National Population Census categorizes Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu as cities; (b) why the Ministry has not given charters or other legal recognition to Mombasa and Kisumu following their elevation by the President; and (c) when the two cities will attain legal recognition as cities. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) what the current construction status of the Merille-Marsabit Road is, (b) if he could clarify whether the funding for the construction of the road from Merille River to Marsabit Town has been secured; and, view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: (c) when Phase II of the larger Isiolo-Marsabit-Moyale road project will start. view
