• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the good of this House and the Report before this House, I wish to urge hon. Members to agree with the Report. I also want to thank hon. Members who have contributed to the debate on this Report. We feel satisfied, as hon. Members of the Committee, with the reaction of this House in supporting this Motion. With those remarks, I beg to move. view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. The Bill is long over due. It ought to have come here, maybe, immediately after the HIV/AIDS scourge was detected. This was the time that most people did not want Kenya to be known to have people who were infected with HIV/AIDS, whereas this is the time the spread of this disease would have been controlled. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, between 1984 and 1995, people did not believe that the HIV/AIDS virus existed. Its spread continued until everybody came to know that, indeed, there was a problem. This ... view
• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, noting with concern that there is no national wildlife and land use policy in the country; this House urges the Government to introduce a Sessional Paper on National Wildlife Policy, outlining guidelines on wildlife conservation and management in order to develop and sustain the resources.

• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the hon. Members, who are laughing, to listen to the voice of the Mover of this Motion! First of all, it is generally agreed that the intentions are good. If you have good intentions and you block the same intentions, I do not know how to describe you! I cannot find words to describe such a person. This is because the Minister knows very well that, even in the meeting that was held at the Bomas of Kenya yesterday, a solution to the fight against corruption was not found because all the ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very surprised when hon. Members happily say that we have institutions which fight corruption and yet they know very well, if the new Government had fought corruption straightaway, we would have gone many miles ahead. We are being told that there is the PIC, which I know. There is also the PAC. What do these Committees do other than make recommendations to the Attorney-General to take action? What powers do they have? I sympathise with the hon. Members of the PIC or PAC when they say that they have enough power, and yet ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: History shows that most hon. Members are happy when they attend meetings to increase our allowances and salaries. Most hon. Members are also happy and smile when a Minister speaks to them. I forgive them because they are corrupt. Let us be honest. I am very sorry. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Members of Parliament did not increase their salaries. Increases fell from Heaven to Parliament! view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am using political language, and not engineering language. My friend is an engineer and it will take him time to understand political language. I want to thank Members of Parliament who supported this Motion. Our contributions to the debate on this Motion will be on record. Some Members of Parliament said that we should investigate corruption while others said we do not have enough machinery to deal with corruption. I think these hon. Members need to be congratulated. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my friend, Mr. Miriti, has just come in and I do not think he is aware of what has been going on in this House. He is just happy to be seen standing! I would like to repeat that the HANSARD has recorded Members of Parliament who are clear in their minds that we are almost losing the battle against corruption, and that we need to put mechanisms in place to fight it. For the first time, I can see that KANU and the Government sides have agreed to conspire and enjoy the fruits of ... view
