• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, no lesser person than the President of the United States of America (USA) has gone public on the person of John Harun Mwau, and has served the Kenya Government with specific allegations. Given this very exhaustive Ministerial Statement from the Assistant Minister in charge of Provincial Administration and Internal Security, could he also tell us what the Government has done in relation to that Executive Order issued by the President of the USA and served on the Kenya Government, in view of the Statement that you have now given in this House? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When a Minister stands in Parliament to give a Ministerial Statement, it is on behalf of the Government, which includes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If he has not received the clarification that he sought from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is he admitting that he is not ready to give a full and comprehensive Statement with regard to the issues that have been raised? If that is so, is he seeking time so that we can prepare when he comes back with information? view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has not responded to my point of order. I said that when a Minister stands to give a Ministerial Statement, it is on behalf of the Government; the 44 Ministries of Government. If the information is within one part of the Government, use the channels available but what we need is the information that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has from the President of the United States of America, because it is in the public domain. When will you provide this House with that information? view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a country where small people are always subjected to criminal sanctions while the big men and women who are responsible for massive looting and plunder of this country’s resources go scot-free. I am interested in this aspect of the Assistant Minister’s answer where he says:- “The implementing line Ministries under the supervision of the Accounting Officers and authorized officers will take appropriate disciplinary measures against those responsible.” The reason we created the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is to enable specific actions to be taken by line Ministries. Have they made any ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I started by prefacing on why we set up the Office of the DPP. I want to hear that he has referred the following people regarding these sums of money. Please, let him not go round in circles! view

• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to say: “If it is true that Mr. Omondi died”? In his statement, he says: “It is worth noting that Mr. Omondi had earlier reported theft vide OB No.16/14/2011. The suspect appeared unwell and alleged that he had been beaten up by the members of the public”. This information is contained in the answer by the Assistant Minister. Is it in order for him to now say that “if it is true”, namely, if that is the position, they will take action? Could he ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While we were about to take that Order last time, specifically on 2nd November, 2011, I had risen on a point of order immediately after hon. Mungatana had risen on another similar point of order. Time ran out before I had completed. So, I am seeking your indulgence to conclude my submission on that point of order, upon which I was addressing the Chair as at the time that I was unable to complete. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a related issue, while the Assistant Minister has promised to issue that Ministerial Statement, he will recall that I presented a dossier here regarding the circumstances including the names of police officers, containers and serial numbers. This House was given an assurance that investigations will be carried out. Therefore, in that Statement, could the Assistant Minister explain to the House how far he has gone with regard to these investigations and whether any persons have been arrested or prosecuted following those investigations? This has been pending for several months now. view
