• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is true that we have consulted and we have agreed that the Question can be answered on Tuesday next week. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I do not have much time but I just want to take this opportunity, first of all, to congratulate the Minister, Mr. Nyachae, for his eloquence and the manner in which he is steering this Ministry. We must say that we are very happy, and are satisfied with what he is doing with the little resources that he is getting. This is a very important Ministry that, in my opinion, is under-funded. To allocate Kshs25 billion to maintain our roads and do new roads is almost impossible. This is ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to state that I have a lot of respect for the Minister of State for Administration and National Security, Mr. Michuki. Looking at his track record and particularly so, when he was in the Ministry of Transport, he became a household name in streamlining the matatu industry. But I want to say that this time round, he got it all wrong. He has become a very shining example of a Minister sleeping on his job. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that this Government ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: But I want to tell them emphatically that the reason why they will lose in the coming General Election is because they have failed to provide security to Kenyans. The most important responsibility of any Government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens. If you cannot provide security to your citizens, then you have no reason to call yourself a government! It is time to pack up and go home! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are living in perpetual fear. When we go to bed, we are not sure that we will wake up alive. The ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: is there! People are living in perpetual fear. I would rather go to bed hungry than have my security threatened. Therefore, we want to tell the Minister on his face that he must make sure that Kenyans are secure wherever they are. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we want to solve the issue of insecurity, we must, July 10, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2371 first of all, tackle the root cause of insecurity. The root cause of insecurity is unemployment and poverty. This Government promised Kenyan youths jobs. It is the youths who are mostly involved in the menace that ... view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Budget Speech. Listening to the Minister for Finance, hon. Amos Kimunya, deliver his Budget Speech two weeks ago, it was very clear to me, and I am sure it was very clear to many other Kenyans, that this is a Government in a state of panic. This is a Government that is desperate. I say this Government is in a state of panic because they have realised that the five-year mandate that they were given by Kenyans is coming to an end and ... view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in a country where we are not at war with anybody, how do you explain an allocation of 6.9 per cent of the entire Budget to the Ministry of State for Defence? It is clear to us that these are monies--- Because this is one of the Ministries--- view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I did not say that it was a political gimmick. I want to say that I have my suspicion that since this is one of the Ministries that we do not scrutinise here, these billions of shillings that have been allocated to this Ministry is the money that is going to be used to bribe Kenyans to vote for this Government come December, 2007. There 2034 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 26, 2007 is no justification under the moon or sun that we can vote this amount of money for the Ministry of State for Defence ... view
• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Administration and National Security whether he could consider sub-dividing Shaviringa Location to enhance administration and bring services closer to the area residents. view
• 10 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very surprised with the answer given by the Assistant Minister. Shaviringa Location is the largest location in the district, if not the province. Yesterday, I talked with the Assistant Minister and he knows the statistics of this particular location. He knows that it is more than qualified to be sub-divided. Shaviringa Location is almost the size of Sabatia Constituency which is in the same district represented by the Minister, Mr. Akaranga. What is surprising is that, recently, we had three locations in Sabatia being sub-divided without coming through the DDC as the Assistant Minister ... view
