• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Statement, I would like the Minister to explain what measures have been taken by his Ministry to avoid abuse of legal process by the police when arresting and rushing people to court without full, proper and through investigations and, more importantly, when the Ministry intends to bring legislation envisaged under Sub-Article 12 of Article 57, which requires Parliament to enact legislation conferring powers of prosecution on authorities other than the Director of Public Prosecutions so that we may know exactly what is the exact role of the police and the extent to which they may ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last night, an incident occurred to me with grave personal implications to my personal security and freedom and I seek a Ministerial Statement. I have already indicated this to the Minister in charge of Internal Security. The circumstances under which I seek this Ministerial Statement are as follows. Last night, between 11.30 p.m., and midnight, I was driving myself home and I had just turned into State House Crescent when I saw a saloon car that appeared to have stalled on the road. It had its hazard lights flashing. I slowed down and immediately four smartly ... view

He also told me, “Usiende Meru naRaila” which means “Do not go to Meru with Raila.” The other three men who were carrying large kitchen knives then each slapped me with the knives and their leader then told me, “Usipofanya vile tumekwambia, tutang’era wewe na tupelekee mama hii kichwayako pamoja na ile ya vijana wako wawili.” This translates to; “if you do not do what I have told you, we will chop off your head and deliver it to your wife together ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The suggestion that we do not use bodyguards is simply not accurate. The last time this Assistant Minister spoke in this House, he provided me with two bodyguards. Two weeks later, it was found that one of them was a candidate for Mathari Hospital where he was admitted. Clearly, in the choice of these bodyguards, one has to be careful because this is a body guard who was found to be insane and is actually at the Mathari Hospital suffering from psychiatric problems. He is the person they had given to ... view

• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue raised by hon. Karua is really not that simple. I was sitting in this House yesterday when the Minister admitted that the issues raised required a comprehensive answer and undertook to give a very detailed answer. In fact, the HANSARD would bear me witness to this. Is it now in order for the Assistant Minister, having stood before the House to give an assurance that he is going to give a very comprehensive answer to come and give a summary of a denial, when he has stood in the ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this is a matter that requires the Chair’s intervention. It is not as light as the Government side would like to believe. view
