• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would want two to three clarifications. First there has been a suggestion that the FBI or the CI A should be involved in the investigation, whereas the person alleging is the American Ambassador. You cannot give a dog meat to take to the House because it will eat it. So, there is no way they can be impartial in their investigations because the American Ambassador is the complainant. Therefore, they would want to look for evidence to justify or to link the hon. Members whom he has actually scandalized. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, does the Report say that the four Members of Parliament have not been linked to drug trafficking? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thirdly, I agree that drug trafficking is a serious menace to the public. If that is the case, I have no problem with the police and the other people continuing to investigate until we unearth the actual drug barons. We should not use digressionary situations where we are diverting the actual issues. The Minister should be able to confirm that, to date, the four Members of Parliament are not linked to drug trafficking. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The names of the Members of Parliament must not be allowed to continue being publicised in the newspapers, based on falsehoods. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister is aware of the jurisdiction of the KACC. The KACC has no mandate to investigate drug trafficking. So, the purpose of consulting the KACC, that for me, looks like an exercise that is only a smokescreen. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the KRA’s mandate is clearly known. It is revenue collection. They are an agent of the Government for collecting revenue. They are not investigators of drug traffickers. So, if we remove this mirage, there will be adequate intellectual intercourse that will be able to help us finalize this matter. The Minister should not drag this matter, ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Orders Nos.79 (4) and 82(1). Standing Order No.79 (4) reads:- “No Member shall impute improper motive to any other Member except upon a specific substantive Motion of which at least three days’ notice has been given, calling in question the conduct of that Member.” view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 22nd December, 2010, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security adversely mentioned my name, saying that I was a suspect of drug trafficking. Those are matters that fall within Standing Order No.79 (4). There was no notice and everything that happens in this House is through the will of the Chair. The Chair allowed such a grave mistake to happen. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.82 (1) reads: “A Member shall be responsible for the accuracy of any facts which the member alleges to be true and may be required to substantiate any such facts instantly.” view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, the Chair closed its eyes and allowed my name to be dragged seriously into the matter of drug trafficking without the matter being substantiated. Subsequently, the hon. Minister went ahead to state that the matter is under investigation and the report would be made available within 30 days. That gave me comfort to wait for 30 days, and the 30 days are gone. I have written to the hon. Minister severally asking that I be provided with a copy of the complaint by Amb. Michael Ranneberger, together with the forwarding report or letter of ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.79. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 22nd December, 2010, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Prof. George Saitoti, adversely mentioned me in the House and made allegations that I was involved in certain criminal activity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have never been involved in any criminal activity whatsoever. The Minister went ahead to state that I was being investigated as a result of a criminal complaint filed by one Michael Ranneberger, alleging that I was involved in some heinous ... view
