• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are the kind of Ministers that are required at a time like now. I would also like to make it very clear that when Mr. C. Onyancha was supporting this Motion, maybe, he might have been misunderstood because he was trying to compliment hon. Michuki for the good work that he is doing in his Ministry, which we all appreciate. He alluded that with the kind of impunity and loss of public funds and investments in parastatals, it would require a person with an “iron hand” like hon. Michuki to deal with that. He ... view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what has just been reported over the years borders seriously along economic crimes. In my view, economic crime is more severe than murder. It amounts to violations of human rights. If I was the President of this country, to deter other chief officers from stealing public funds, I would have the convicted ones paraded before a firing squad during a national day like Madaraka Day. view

• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I feel the Minister is misleading the House. He says that local authorities must follow instructions. I have a letter from him dated 28th April, 2009, instructing the clerk of Maua Municipal Council to cancel the allocation of kiosks in my constituency. Up to now, the clerk and the management of that local authority have not complied with his directive. Is he in order, when his own officers are not taking orders from him? view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the 16th Report of the Public Investments Committee on the accounts of State Corporations laid on the Table of the House today, 24th June, 2009. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot really downplay the role played by fertilizers in food production. In view of the fact that without fertilizers food production will be quite low, what short-term measures has the Assistant Minister taken to guarantee food security in this country? view
• 18 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe that my friend, Dr. Khalwale, is misleading the House. He has just said that this clan is special because it gave birth to Dr. Robert Ouko. I want to know whether a clan can give birth to an individual other than the mother and the father. view
• 16 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are all aware of the sensitivity of Prof. Philip Alston’s Report. In this regard, would I be in order to ask the senior Cabinet Minister present in this House this afternoon to indicate which Ministry this Question will be re-directed to? In my view, this Question cuts across the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Instead of this Question being tossed from one Ministry to another, it should be referred to the Prime Minister. view
• 16 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, this Question was directed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it was returned. You have just indicated to the House that a senior Cabinet Minister gives an undertaking. Is it in order for a “junior” Minister to contradict his senior Cabinet Minister? view

(c) Has the letter of award for the construction of the Nairobi-Eldoret Pipeline been issued and the contract signed? view
