• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the duty of this House to support the security forces of this country as they endeavour to keep our country safe. They keep our countrymen, and particularly the women, safe. The women are the backbone of our society. We must support the security forces as they try to keep our country safe. The security agencies of this country have made an assessment in which they believe that those buildings pose a very serious security concern. In our very humble opinion, this House should grant that opinion the professional respect that it calls for. Finally, as ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that was my last comment save for the question by Mrs. Shebesh. This Government values its citizens and its investors. The investors have not – and I have not suggested that in my report - done anything that, in the circumstances of the matter, can be attributed to them. I have said there was system failure and it is a failure that we are correcting. Where the demolitions have occurred without requisite notice, as I said before Mr. Mutava Musyimi’s Committee, there will be prompt and fair compensation. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have assured the hon. Member that nothing of the sort has happened and nothing of the sort will happen. The Government will continue to apply the law fairly, independently, impartially and for the benefit of all its citizens, particularly the weak, the poor and the vulnerable. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of the task force that the two hon. Members have made reference to. However, I would imagine that the only reason the Government would set up a task force is if there was lack of clarity on any issue. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the demolitions that were the subject matter of the question by the Member for Kamukunji, there was never any doubt as to the correct legal position. There was never any doubt that the houses had been constructed without requisite approval and that the owners have failed to respond within the required period notice. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: There have been no demolitions in the Central Business District of the City. There have been no demolitions in the City centre. Therefore, I assume that the hon. Member must be mistaken in that respect. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as the policy of the Government is concerned, the Government values every community living in this country. That is not only the indigenous communities that have lived there throughout history, but even the communities that have settled in this country. They are valued by the Government, they are protected by the Government and their property is protected. There is no ... view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the hon. Member the good news that this Statement has come to the House from my Chambers. I want to apologise that it took a bit of time because I was co-ordinating six Ministries to input into the Statement. It is now available in the Clerk’s Office and I will be happy to deliver it next Thursday. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: As you direct, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: And my apologies to the hon. Member, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I thank the hon. Member, first, for seeking me out and my colleagues to discuss the difficulties that he had with the President’s Memorandum and for the very candid and honest discussion that we had. But as I indicated, our points of convergence were many but on the questions of the interruption of the Constitution, we were unable to agree. view
