• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the Assistant Minister’s willingness to reconsider the policy, particularly with regard to the two-and-a-half acre ceiling. Looking at the list of the beneficiaries of these funds, I would wish him to confirm that he will follow up on this commitment to consider and formulate a policy that recognizes individual farmers rather that acreage which may, in any case, not be commensurate with the quality of sugar production. When will he bring these policy changes, so that individual farmers can benefit on the basis of their ability to repay and grow sugar-cane? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the entity Somaliland is not recognized by the United Nations and, therefore, their legal system is not a legal system that we, as a sovereign nation, recognize. Under those circumstances, is the Assistant Minister satisfied that these two Kenyans can receive a fair trial in this entity that is not recognized by the UN? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the Minister for Foreign Affairs at this particular time may be a busy person, but he has a very able Assistant Minister. Why can they not share responsibilities and we get the Questions answered in the House? Is it in order for Ministers to give excuses where there are none? This is because the Minister for Foreign Affairs should be able to answer Questions in this House. I can see that, today, the Front Bench is very well represented, including the Leader of Government Business. Why are they shying away from collective responsibility? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to acknowledge that, unlike his predecessor who spent most of his time in the air, this particular Attorney- General takes the affairs of this House seriously, and his answers reflect the seriousness which we expect of the Office of the Attorney-General. But I am concerned about one aspect of the Attorney-General’s answer, where he says that restitution is not covered by criminal jurisprudence. Could the Attorney-General explain what he means by that? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minster makes reference to District Environmental Committees (DECs). I am aware that in most districts, those committees do not exist. Is the Assistant Minister satisfied that DECs exist and, if they do, do they file any returns to his office? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to usurp the functions of the Chair and direct the Chair to ignore an Assistant Minister who represents the people who are treated like animals by this Government? Is it in order? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister makes reference to the Kibaki Administration from 2003. It is common knowledge that it is also the Kibaki Administration--- view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister makes reference to the administration of President Kibaki, but of course, the correct thing is that it is a Grand Coalition Government. It is the administration of the Coalition Government. However, it is also the same Government that set up the Ndung’u Commission that went around the country and systematically produced a report containing names of big people that own public land including the land belonging to the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) all over the country, including Kabete, Wilson Airport and many other places. This Government is selectively applying the law against the very ... view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I raised the point that a document was tabled here by the hon. Member for Gichugu, which makes specific allegations. The Minister has dismissed it by stating that he is not aware and he does not even want to become aware because this Government is so brazen in its anti-constitutional conduct that they do not really consider themselves accountable to the people of Kenya. In these circumstances, is it not proper for the committee charged with the responsibility of examining these actions to be asked to visit these particular regions, including Mombasa Road and bring a ... view
