• 20 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: are not aware of the medical implications of being tested with new medicine. We have had a case in Kenya where an organisation was using Kenyan children as guinea pigs for testing HIV/AIDS medicine. Even in the United Kingdom, recently, some people died and others had to be taken to hospital because of being tested on medicine which had not been approved. What system has the Government put in place to ensure that our people are protected and that they are not used as guinea pigs? view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to request through you whether under Standing Order No.1, you could, because of the interest in the House, ask hon.

• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to declare my interest on this matter because this is ancestral land, which belongs to my great grandfathers. Even the hon.

• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to actually challenge the Chair? This is a matter that was ruled upon by the Chair when we began debating this Motion which is properly before this House. view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, does the Assistant Minister agree with me that, that is public knowledge to every Kenyan? It has been covered by every newspaper in this country with photographs to boot and yet, the Assistant Minister comes to this House and denies. Is that not evil? Is it not like the snake that is spoken of in the Bible? view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it really in order for a Government Assistant Minister to sit on the Opposition benches and speak from there? Has Mr. Wanjala not defected to the Opposition side in that case? view

• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard you clearly, and I support your sentiments. Thank you, for giving me this opportunity to say a few words regarding the Anglo Leasing Report. With respect to the hon. Member who was on the Floor of this House, the fact that the Anglo Leasing projects were initiated by the previous Government, that does not absolve the current Government of the problems it has caused in this country. Why did the current Government give restricted tendering as indicated in this report? Why did the Government get a particular contractor, who is named in this report? How ... view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Later on, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs told this House that he was misled and read a statement which had been prepared by a civil servant.

This should be done with a suitable apology, (if Mr. Speaker so requires)." 404 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 5, 2006 Therefore, under the terms of the Standing Orders, the ... view
