• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has acknowledged that the skirmishes were as a direct result of dissatisfaction with the electoral boundaries delimitation. Now, the law is very clear on what procedures ought to be followed when there are such disagreements about the boundaries. What steps has the Government taken to ensure that the law relating to the settlement of such disputes is followed, rather than invoking police mechanisms and opening inquests, when the law states clearly what steps should be taken and within what time so that the matter can go to court? What steps have been ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to stand before this House and say that the reason and justification for referring to a Kenyan as a known and notorious criminal is because bonds were found on this person? We know that bonds are not evidence of crime, but evidence of a case going on in court. Is he suggesting that when a Kenyan is charged and before a court of law finds him or her guilty or not guilty, the Government or the police come to the conclusion that ... view

• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the provision of the Constitution, a person is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. Now the Assistant Minister is talking about a preliminary report from a chief, which he used to find the basis that this was a notorious criminal. We cannot let him get away lightly with this. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: It is the same Government that every day, through the police spokesman, say “A notorious criminal was gunned down on some streets of Nairobi” without offering any evidence. Would he table the evidence before this House to show that conviction had, in fact, been imposed on this person he calls a notorious criminal, so that we can believe what he says, because I do not believe him? view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has indicated that one of the problems he is having in getting these children back in Kenya and presumably that is why the officials who drove to Harare left the children to suffer in slavery is because their names were superimposed in their mother’s passport and, therefore, they do not have travel documents. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what specific steps he has taken to ensure that these children have travel documents; that even if they have the tickets today, they are able to travel? This is because there is ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Actually, you also caught me by surprise, Professor, because I thought that you wanted to contribute. Then while you were doing it, you said that we should take it as the official Government response. You will be denying the hon. Members an opportunity to which you would be responding. So, perhaps, you can clarify that, so that we get the hon. Members to be at peace. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Certainly not because this is not the time for the official reply. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Just continue! view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been many years since the Government declared the HIV/AIDS epidemic a national disaster. Despite the fact that the law was passed in 2006 it was not until last year that she effected the operationalization of the law. Could the Minister assure this House that now that the Global Fund has re-opened a window of opportunity for Kenya to apply for available funds, she will encourage this tribunal to immediately apply for funding from the Global Fund so that it can start the process not only of informing Kenyans what role it performs but ... view
