• 4 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is appointed by the President. It is the President who should really terminate his services. Even before he was given the termination letter, the Minister and Permanent Secretary told him that he stood fired. Was this done according to the Central Bank Act? Why was he fired by a Permanent Secretary and a Minister? view

• 4 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to say that the President is the one who signed the Gazette Notice? We all know that the President signed Gazette Notice much later after the Governor had been suspended. Is this being done this way because Dr. Mullei is a Mkamba ? view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to join the rest of my colleagues in contributing to this very important debate. In a country like South Africa, this Speech would have amounted to the nation's statement by the President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I begin, first of all, by thanking my friend, Mr. Arungah, for his good wishes. But, in reality, I think we should be able to subsequently move from the culture of street demonstrations. The reason why our people have chosen to go to the streets has a lot to do with excesses committed by ... view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, His Excellency the President referred to the outcome of the Referendum. In fact, the matter of the Referendum which was a watershed event in the history of this country should, in my view, have received a lot more attention in the Presidential Address than is actually evident. I listened to every sentence and even watched the body language of His Excellency the President as he spoke and addressed this august House and, by extension, this country. I want to congratulate the Kenyan people because they overwhelmingly voted to reject a bad Draft Constitution. Some of us ... view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the absence of the necessary Referendum law, what actually happened? Some of us had occasion to say that what happened on 21st November, 2005, was a wholesome application of the provisions of Chapter 7 of the laws of this country, namely; the National Assembly and Presidential Elections Act. This is because voting took place at every polling centre. The result, therefore, was exactly the same as would be the case in a general election. This is why some of us did not want to continue with this process. We thought we should give Kenyans a ... view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: 198 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 29, 2006 Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my good friend, Mr. Wetangula, made an appearance before the so-called Bethwel Kiplagat Committee; the Committee of Eminent Persons. I really wondered why we even have Cabinet Ministers who cannot correctly advise His Excellency the President. My good friend, Mr. Wetangula, appeared before the Committee of Eminent Persons and said that the Referendum was illegal. Mr. Wetangula, to the best of my knowledge, is today still an Assistant Minister in this Government. When I met him later in the corridors I asked him: "Why is it that you never opened ... view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the House can now witness for itself the visible demonstration of intolerance by this Government, and the absolute arrogance that has been visited on this House. How I wish, personally, that elections were held today, so that the people of Kamukunji Constituency can rid this country of this level of intolerance! Let them enjoy every moment now. But the moment the general elections are called, this Government will be fired absolutely by the Kenyan people. view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is lip service being paid to the matter and importance of the youth of this country. I want to congratulate the President for one thing; that he decided to give a job to a good friend. If this Government was able to look at that, we would sometimes be able to applaud. The retired Major Murugu, is today the Permanent Secretary in charge of the new Ministry for Youth Affairs. But I suspect that the good friend has absolutely no idea of what he really should do apart from the fact that he was the ... view
