• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that if a married couple are conducting their affairs normally we should not fear that marital rape can arise because of this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the bit on whether a person should be innocent until May 2, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 833 proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent is debatable as the previous speaker said. I was of the opinion that if it is in conflict with the Constitution, we can amend it here at the Committee Stage. However, it has been explained by the Attorney-General that it is not ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion on the Presidential Address. Right from the outset, I would like to say that the purpose of any Government is to protect the lives and property of its people. That is, indeed, a cardinal purpose. If a Government fails to protect the lives and property of its citizens, then, it has lost the moral authority to govern the people who have elected it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday, 22nd March, 2006 and Thursday, 23rd March, 2006, officers of this Government, that ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: I do not need to elaborate! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Ng'atikong Primary School was built in 1955. This school has 450 children. On Friday only half of them were present in school. This shows that the policy of free primary education, which the Government is pursuing, is being frustrated by certain officers. Worse still, when I met the Minister in charge of internal security he was not aware that this was happening. I wonder who these invisible Government officers who carry out operations at the top are, when the Minister does not know. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, without a secure ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: They are not fellows! They are hon. Members. But they are sitting on that side without consultations from this side! They have caused lack of dialogue and reconciliation. We, in the Opposition, are willing and ready to dialogue! But we do not see the Government creating the environment for that to happen. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been talking about the 5 per cent economic growth. We do not see it. People are getting poorer out there. We are forced to question the 5 per cent economic growth. Are they using the new methods of calculations? Go back to ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need more than ten minutes! view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue we should deal with is whether FORD (P) is an Opposition or a Government Party. If we can answer that question--- view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Members of that party cannot have their cake and eat it at the same time! view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know you have made a ruling. I was only emphasising a point; that they cannot have their cake and eat it at the same time. They cannot be in Government and claim to be in the Opposition at the same time. The simple solution is that they must forfeit the current positions being held by Mr. Nyachae and Mr. Obwocha. There is only one major Opposition party, and that is KANU. There is only one hon. Member from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) sitting on the Opposition side. The fact that historically, they were ... view
• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, they were actually a donation. view

• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: In recognition that FORD (P) was still in the Opposition at that time, we donated two slots to it. Regardless of whether it was a donation or not, the matter now is that the situation has changed. FORD(P) has become a Government party. It has joined the so-called Government of National Unity (GNU). Therefore, it should surrender those two Government positions. view
