• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Energy with regard to the recent fluctuations in the prices of petrol within the first quarter of this year, starting from the month of January to the month of April. In the Statement, I would want the Minister to explain what have been the main causes of the recent increases of fuel prices and the increase in the shortages of petrol. I would like him to further clarify to the House who, when and at what price the open ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the kind of problems Kenyans are going through, especially because of this matter, Thursday next week is too far. I would suggest that, if possible, he does it on Wednesday. view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: I concede, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am really uncomfortable with the admission by the Assistant Minister that the contractor lacks capacity. I wonder whether due process was followed in the evaluation of contractors before commencement of this contract. One of the areas that the evaluators are supposed to look at is the capacity of a contractor to undertake certain works. Why did it escape the attention of the evaluating team that the contractor did not have enough capacity to undertake this contract with the speed required? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to convey my condolences to the people of Turkana for losing their dear ones. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: At the same time, I would like to commend the Government for the measures they are trying to take, although very late, to restore security in Turkana. The question that I want to ask the Prime Minister is; we have the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) in this country that gathers information and feeds this information to the relevant Government arms. So, I am wondering how this particular incident escaped the knowledge of the NSIS that is taking so much money from public coffers. Is it that the relevant Government arms were not given any prior information or alert or ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: people were not in a position to gather any intelligence information with regard to these attacks? view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am really getting confused on this matter. The relevant Government Department and the authority that is supposed to have commanded the Kenya Army to act appear to have had the information on the planned attack on the Turkana people, yet nothing was done. Would I be in order to ask the Prime Minister to tell us why no command was given to the Kenya Army to take charge and protect our borders, given that the information was with the authorities? Does this not amount to negligence on the part of the ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Information and Communications:- (a) what became of the Government’s policy on registration of sim cards and what is the level of compliance or non-compliance by the respective mobile telephone operators; and, (b) what action the Government will take against the defaulters. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that exhaustive answer and, at the same time, laud those Kenyans that have really heeded the call of registration of sim cards. At the same time, I want to differ with the Assistant Minister because I, personally, do not believe that there must be legislation to compel anybody to register as a subscriber to any mobile telephone service providers. Since Kenyans have been getting threatening messages through those service providers, why can the Assistant Minister not get into consultations with the service providers, with a view to disabling those ... view
