• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is obvious that the Minister does hold the Chair and the House in contempt. In that line, would I be in order to ask that the Minister be named right now? This is the National Assembly of Kenya and nobody can be above it, however, powerful or clever they are! This is the House of the Republic of Kenya! view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a serious matter touching on the lives of ordinary people. I know the Minister is a very good-hearted person and he is my personal friend. These so- called allegations that are written on that letter of dismissal are reasons that were fabricated so that these people could be sacked. These people were sacked because of the high-handedness of the then Town Clerk of Kisumu Municipal Council who has now, fortunately, been removed from there. I would like to appeal to the Minister to kindly intervene to have these people reinstated. These are people with children ... view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We realise that the technocrats can consult and they also take notes. However, there is a lot of consultation coming from the technocrats to the extent that they cannot take notes of what is being said by hon. Members. I wanted your guidance on this matter. view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: They should take notes! view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to support this Vote of the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. I note that there is about Kshs62 billion that we are going to give, out of which Kshs20 billion is Recurrent Expenditure and the balance is Development Expenditure. I am also gratified to note that Mzee has managed to increase the Development Vote from Kshs26 billion to Kshs42 billion. This is because the roads in this country are in dire need of attention. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset there are some failures that ... view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: ." The tendency in Nyanza Province, particularly, is that when any repair work is being done, instead of using tarmac to repair tarmac, they use murram. You know what happens when that is done. One day when it rains, the road is washed away. When there is sunshine, it turns to dust. It amounts to waste of public funds. I just want to ask the professionals in that industry that we need your help, gentlemen. We need their help. I am not a trained engineer but I can argue at any level. At the constituency level, when they allocate funds ... view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Really? view
• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Bill on tobacco control. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill was before this House last year and we debated it fully. In fact, we managed to pass it at the Second Reading. Unfortunately, we were not able to continue any further than that because we ran out of time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are a few key issues on tobacco that need to be revisited, apart from what we said last year. One, tobacco is the most preventable cause of death, disability and disease in Kenya and the world over. Mr. ... view
• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: But Parliament is still left behind. I want to say that it is incumbent upon the Ninth Parliament of the Republic of Kenya to ensure that there is a proper legal framework within which tobacco can be used and grown in Kenya. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, we had gone through this only last year, and this matter has been debated. So, I will just go through a few things. I want to say that from the farmer to the consumer, Kenyans are faced with grave health problems as a result of tobacco use. Tobacco contributes ... view
