• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. My views on this are known. I think last week we went through this and a bit of friction. However, now that we had saved one of our own, let us go back to the real meat because one of our own is not in the picture. The real issue here is that the financial sector in Kenya is a mess. We all want to take this opportunity to right the wrongs. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you read what the experts told us, they said something ought to be done. ... view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me thank the Assistant Minister for saying that he will liaise with the Ministry of Roads to erect bumps. view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, very many people have died in that particular spot or road block. I want to ask the Assistant Minister to tell this House; on the Kisumu-Busia Road, the Kisumu-Homa Bay Road and the Kisumu-Migori Road, how many road blocks should people expect now that from Kisumu to Siaya, we have almost 20 road blocks and the police only stop Nissan matatus ? What is the Government policy on the road blocks? view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want wish to follow up on the submission by hon. Mbadi. I want to hear the views of the Minister in respect to Chapter 415, which is the provisional Collection of Taxes and Duties Act, which requires that any orders given for provisional collection of taxes by the Minister expire after four months, in which case, any taxes which have been collected from taxpayers since 31st December are illegal taxes. Also, because the taxes were not regularized, the law says that the taxes collected from 1st July, are also illegal. That is Chapter 415 of ... view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to also add my voice to Mrs. Shebesh’s request and urge you to do as requested. That is because Mrs. Shebesh has not talked about the admissibility of that document. That was so decided on Thursday when the document was tabled. I know your Deputy is able and he made a call for very right reasons that the document was, indeed, admissible. But the contents of that document, even though my friend Mr. Jamleck would like to make the world believe that even the English could break the English Language, some are so broken that ... view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: That is because if an English man was going to write what is in that document, they could have done better. That document, for what it is worth, was all authored and written by somebody who did not and does not mean well for this country. The issues in that document are so heavy and weighty that whoever wrote that document was being mischievous and wanted to cause chaos. The issue of the ICC is so big; so grave that Kenyans are about to be tried away from this country. But the issues which we see in the so-called prayer ... view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: hand in sending some Kenyans to the ICC. The matter is so grave that we must, as a country and Parliament, rise above and show the way. Kenyans and those gentlemen are accused of mass murder. Some of us are bereaved! Some of us are appalled because Kenyans want to know, eventually, who funded Mungiki ! I have somebody from my village whose genitals were cut with a Fanta bottle. I want to get something to tell Mr. Ndege, whose nine family members were massacred in Naivasha. We are talking of a very grave matter, and playing with it in ... view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you must guide this country and this House, so that it is not always politics and cheap politics for that matter. I ask you to expunge the contents of that document. view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree with your ruling but I wanted to point out that somewhere in this document you are also mentioned. So, by way of authenticity, you could tell us something because it is unclear. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Procedural Motion. view
