• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I am being seconded by hon. Chris Wamalwa Wakhungu. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, about ten weeks ago or thereabout, I sought to know from the Chairperson of the Committee on Administration and National Security when, how and what position it had reached on those people who in 1991/92, left Subukia and other places like Burnt Forest and settled in Kieni Forest. I wanted to know when and how they were being settled. I further wanted to know what was happening on the integrated--- view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I also wanted to know the Government’s position on the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who are all over this country. Efforts to get the Chairman, hon. Asman Kamama, have not borne any fruits. I think it is high time that the Chair gave direction on what to do when one gets into such a position. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, that will make a total of 12 weeks and yet, these are matters of national importance. The IDPs are Kenyans like any other and their plight must be addressed. Some of them have lived in the camps for more than three governments. So, to wait another 12 weeks to get a reply from a Committee, surely, defeats the purpose of the Statement that I sought. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I am sure that, that is a responsible Committee and it can deliver. I find two weeks not acceptable to me. We will head for recess within two weeks and yet, Kenyans are waiting for the Statement. I find that period to be too long. He should probably talk about a week. That is a matter that has been presented and followed even outside this House. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, since a vulture is a very patient bird, I have decided to be patient and wait. Hopefully, they will not seek another ten weeks. I will be patient and I accept his promise. view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think I had given up. Noting the position we are in and the desire to move forward, and also noting that we are experiencing teething problems, there are issues that are of importance to this nation and issues that have been raised in the past. With that, I seek your intervention on an issue that I raised on the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), resulting from the 1991/1992 tribal classes – people who ran to the Aberdares in Kieni Forest. That is a water catchment area that serves this city with water. That situation continues ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. Creation of Disaster Management Authority was delayed by past Governments. We have had several disasters in this country. You will remember the 1998 bomb blast that we had. Time has come when we should have an authority to manage disasters. It should deter the occurrence of disasters; managing should be preceded by deterrence. It will manage and control disasters. During the 998 bomb blast, most of us who were around town ran to the site. If by bad luck there was another one in the offing, Kenya would have ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The Supplementary Appropriation Bill II had come to this House. Hon. Members debated and agreed upon certain adjustments, which were made. If we work with speed and complete this process, we will be in a position to ensure full implementation of the ongoing Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) projects on the ground. Hon. Jakoyo Midiow was actually taking precaution, but whatever business we transact in this House, especially on matters of finance and budgets, it affects all of us, irrespective of which side of the House one is on. This particular one is a matter which ... view
