• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I understand the Mungiki members are pleading with the Government to be allowed to bury the wife of their leader in Kitengela. At the moment, it is said that the house of the sect leader is fully occupied by the General Service Unit (GSU). Under what law was the house taken over by the GSU? The Mungiki adherents would want to bury the wife of their leader out there. Secondly, the Minister has said that they are looking for the leaders of this gang. I fail to understand where they are looking for them because they ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President's Speech, which was very good. But first, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the last time I rose to speak in this House, I was a nominated Member. But today, I stand here as the elected Member for Bureti Constituency! view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: I want to thank my constituents who are, indeed, great people, for electing me to serve them for the first time in this House. I undertake and promise to work for them with all the might, capacity and energy that is in me, so that they can get value for their votes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the President for the Speech that he made. I want to offer a recommendation to that Speech, as a former speech-writer myself. There is need to put a human face in the Speech so that, when it comes out, it ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is being said that the violence was planned! I want to say emphatically that it was not! If it was, then the police force was dead asleep. If something was planned, where was the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), the chiefs, the DOs and March 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 385 DCs, who are all over the place? They never heard of the plan to cause chaos and mayhem. Somebody somewhere is telling untruths. That person is the one who is saying that it was planned. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to offer another solution! ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect your ruling. However, Mr. Angwenyi is giving the impression that it is the Kisii people who are being killed in Sondu and yet, the three people who were killed the other day are Kipsigis. Is he in order to mislead the House? view
• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was wondering why my good friend, Mr. Wetangula, was so worried about Kabuga. It is, indeed, important that the Government signs international protocols, so that their intentions or objectives can be fulfilled and enjoyed by the people. For example, soil erosion is part of illegal exploitation of natural resources. A lot of soil is carried away into Lake Victoria. It is filling the lake bed and causing a lot of flooding in Budalangi. However, there is a protocol in place to look into that aspect. It is extremely important that the Government ... view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he could table the list of people recently allocated land at Bararget in Nakuru District; and, (b) what criteria was used to allocate the said land. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with the answer given by the Assistant Minister. Nevertheless, there was balloting which was conducted in Molo three months ago, purportedly to allocate land in Bararget Settlement Scheme, whereas the Assistant Minister has 4386 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 9, 2007 said that there was none. If there were other allocations before then, how much land has been given out at Bararget Forest? view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no other question, but the Assistant Minister has not given us the list of the persons who have been allocated land in the scheme. That is the crux of the matter. There are complaints that the exercise is selective and one-sided. We would want to know the people whom he has said are being allocated land either in Bararget, former Njenga Karume's land or in Kivulini Scheme. view
