• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the said journalist has been in this country for a long time. Could the Minister, in his clarification, say what provoked his arrest? There are some murmurs that a person, well known for hitting journalists, instigated his arrest! view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. The key word in this Motion is landlessness, especially in the Coast Province. Large tracts of land are owned by absentee landlords. The Government must acquire that land from them and give it to the squatters. If we were to subscribe to the motto of this House: "For the Welfare of Society and Just Government of Men and Women", then we should rightly support this Motion. The question of land is economic, political, social and cultural. It is of such significance that it could bring about the disintegration of ... view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: who have nothing at all? Some even have land large enough to build an airstrip and yet, the likes of Mr. Sungu do not have even a place where a helicopter can land because there is no space. The question of the land system in Kenya is a question which has led to the inequality in development and distribution of wealth. Now, this Parliament must do something about it. I am glad that the Government, the other day, brought a land policy for discussion. I hope and pray that they will bring it to the Floor of this House for ... view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you, for that correction. In my own concern, I forgot that they are from Oman. I am saying that this matter is serious. There ought to be no person in the world who can displace a Kenyan after 40 years of Independence, regardless of where he lives, while he is an absentee landlord, when Kenyans do not have enough land. I do not care whether the landless man is a Mijikenda, Luo, Kikuyu, Meru or Pokot. That man is a Kenyan and it is the duty of this House to protect him. I want ... view
• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Are you satisfied that the hon. Member is in order to consult loudly? view
• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is one of the most important Bills that this House can ever be called upon to debate. You can see what is happening on the other side of the House. Even the Minister for Finance has walked out. Are we, really, taking this debate seriously? Could we have your guidance? view

• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: But is she in order? view
• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to commend the Minister for bringing this important Bill to the House. I would like to reiterate the importance of this Bill. If anybody would care to go into history, they would know that Parliament started in Old England in those early centuries, and the maxim then was: "No taxation without representation". We represent the people of Kenya and we should be allowed to make sure that we debate fully all measures to do with taxation and all financial policies effectively and properly, and no attempt should be made to hurry ... view
