• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I rise to support. I do not want to go into a lot view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on its fact-finding visit to Lari, Koibatek, Dagoretti, Kisauni, and Nyakach over alleged extra-judicial killings in the districts from 11th October, 2010 to 27th November, 2010 laid on the Table today, Thursday 16th December, 2010. ADOPTION OF REPORT ON RECRUITMENT OF KEBS MANAGING DIRECTOR view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, going through the list and given the criteria the Assistant Minister has given here, one fails to understand why, for instance, Busia County has 34 and Bungoma County 19 yet Bungoma County has a bigger population than Busia County. Under Bungoma County, Mt. Elgon has had only one person recruited in the past three years. This person is called Chemutai. Why can he not consider quota system for marginalized communities in this country? As it is, without quota system and affirmative action, then other communities will continue being marginalized in subsequent recruitments. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to congratulate the Assistant Minister for coming up with a very comprehensive Statement touching on areas I needed clarification on. However, the Ministry operates when giving instructions to the District Liquor Boards. It is always through a memo or a letter to confirm the directives to the effect that the hours would remain the same until the gazettement is done. Could the Assistant Minister table the letter he wrote instructing his officers to show that they have to comply until the gazettement? Otherwise, a mere verbal directive might be meant for ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Assistant Minister for a job well done. He has been spot on. I only wish that my colleague and neighbour, Mr. Wamalwa, was here. That is what created acrimony here between him and I. One, he sought for a Ministerial Statement over an issue which is not there in my constituency. I term that malice. Secondly, I wish to ask the Assistant Minister to clarify--- view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is always good to understand the background of certain issues and we have to be guarded as hon. Members so that we do not issue alarming statements that can end up causing despondency on the ground. Otherwise, I wish to ask the Assistant Minister to clarify what will happen to a number of Non-governmental Organizations (NGO) which are also part and parcel of those rumours. The other day, the Western Kenya Human Rights Watch based in view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not been very satisfactory and clear in his Ministerial Statement. I would like him to come out clear as to why the swoops always happen immediately after a criminal incident has occurred. Secondly, on the 1,324 persons who were arrested in the swoop, the Assistant Minister is not very clear as to whether this number is specifically for Eastleigh or for other parts of the country. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead the House? He said that those who were arrested were aliens. When did aliens become thugs? Is he in order to mislead the House when those aliens had papers? view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on its fact-finding visit to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Nairobi; Moi International Airport, Mombasa; Kilindini Sea Port; and Malindi Airport over alleged security lapses at the entry points from 27th October, 2010 to 29th October, 2010 laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 9th December, 2010. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the implementation of the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, 2010. In the Statement, I would like him to clarify:- (a) When regulations to implement the provisions of the implementation of the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, 2010, will be gazetted. (b) In view of the fact that regulations have not been gazetted, what are the opening and closing hours for business premises that sell alcoholic drinks and further indicate what actions have been taken to ensure that ... view
