• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I apologise, Mr. Chairman, Sir. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, allow me to congratulate my colleague hon. Wetangula for talking about the sugar industry boldly. It is imperative for the Government to support those sectors of the economy that support the large masses of our country. It is also important to ensure that we practise affirmative action. It is clear that the vast areas in this country that represent the sugarcane-growing areas and which sustain over 10 million people are being discriminated against by the Government. I would have been so happy had my colleague, the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs, hon. Wetangula, said that if the ... view
• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Have you noticed that some hon. Members are standing between you and the hon. Member on the Floor, which is not allowed by the Standing Orders? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given the fact that the powerful Attorney-General has, indeed, told us that these were Assisting Counsels, may we, as a House, be told using the powers available to him, how much they were paid, because they paid from public coffers? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Have you noticed 1382 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 14, 2006 that the hon. Member seated over there is doing so with his back facing the Chair? Is it in order for him to do that? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion on the two reports on the Pan African Parliament. The father of Pan Africanism, the late Kwame Nkurumah, once stated: "Seek yee the political kingdom first and all shall be open to you." The late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga also said that a journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step. I believe that in creating the Pan African Parliament, African Governments have made the first step towards Pan Africanism. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg that I be protected, so that I may concentrate on my contribution. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was being distracted. It is important for us to come together because our problems in Africa are similar. In togetherness, we can do a lot of good to the people of Africa. Kenya has played a very important role in trying to solve problems in neighbouring countries, such as Somalia. We even hosted the fledgling Parliament of the Federal Republic of Somalia. The role that Kenya played through the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in resolving armed conflicts in Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia should not be in vain. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still crave your protection because I am being distracted by hon. Members who are busy consulting in a very unorthodox manner! Do I have your 1386 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 14, 2006 protection? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that prevention of conflicts is so important. Without security even in Nairobi City, you cannot move along River Road. So, our people in Africa need the services of the Pan African Parliament. It is a shame to us as a continent and as a country, that we are yet to raise an army for the African Union through the Pan African Parliament. I remember the other day President Yoweri Museveni talking about Somalia in the United Nations. He said: "Before you have a country, the first word is "army, army ... view
