• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can confirm to the Prime Minister, because I still practise law even as of today right from the days that you mentioned that, that is the view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I speak with a great deal of anger that this is happening in the very beginning of a new dispensation, and a new Constitution which forbids this kind of conduct. I speak against the background of a great deal of pontification by Members of the Government, from the President downwards, who keep talking about the great things that view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Ruto Isaac. You have two minutes because the official Government Responder has five minutes. So, you have two minutes. view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, that concludes the business of the day. The House is, therefore, adjourned until tomorrow, Thursday, 11th November, 2010, at 2.30 p.m. The House rose at 6.30 p.m. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that there is no way Kenya can negotiate outside the EAC. Suppose there is conflict of State interest, for example, the interest of Rwanda and Tanzania may be very different from the interest of Kenya--- What will the Assistant Minister do in the event Kenya’s national interests are not adequately dealt with through the EAC? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: That is the point, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. He is my good friend and I do not want to put him to task. However, what is the policy in the event such an eventuality occurs? For example, with respect to the EAC Protocol, one of the main obstacles was the Tanzanian interest. They felt that Kenya was way ahead and they needed to catch up in certain areas including land ownership and freedom of movement of individuals. We had to ensure that Kenyan interests are taken on board. What is the policy of the Government where there is a conflict ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad the Minister, at least, used the Kshs600 million to go to part of Meru. But Makutano Town is actually the commercial capital of the County of Meru. The Minister has been there and has seen the population of that region. Given that we do not have these funds and from 2008, we have not had any monies, what urgent measures is the Minister taking, at least, to address the issue of sewer because a Question has come in this House regarding lack of sewerage facilities? This affects the flow of water even in ... view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I welcome the assurance by the Assistant Minister, but could he give a firm commitment to this House that whatever decision will be made will not lead to the closure of this road, because there is no policy consideration involved, and members of the public are complaining? Weighing the interests of the public against the private interests, clearly, the public interests of preserving the road outweigh those of the private company. So, could he assure this House that, pending that decision, no precipitate action will be taken to convert this public road into a private property? view
• 28 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is obviously giving us an answer that is drawn exclusively from the information supplied to him by police officers. These are the same police officers whom he alleges the deceased was running away from. Let us have some courtesy for the dead. They are not just “fellows”. These are Kenyans who died under circumstances that have not yet been explained. The Assistant Minister has confirmed that one of the people, Ramadham Abubakar survived. Could he tell us whether any statement has been taken from Mr. Ramadhan, because I suspect that his statement will ... view
