• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: We are not saying we cannot do them but we are saying that he separates them because we believe that some of them are not necessary. That is all hon. Members are saying view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that hon. Kajwang knows that for us to amend any part of this Constitution, he will need two-thirds. So, arrogance will not force us! view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, today I am very disappointed with the Grand Coalition Government. My cousin’s house, Peter Okanda, in which he has lived for less than six months, was brought down on Sunday. It is a shame that the Government is watching. Not even the President or the Prime Minister or a Cabinet Minister has gone to talk to the affected individuals! No wonder this Government does not get it that Kenyans want the election date to remain August. It is because Kenyans want to get rid of them. Kenyans wanted an election as early as yesterday, because ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want him to tell Kenyans that he was to do it but he was never given money, so that we can know who to lay blame on. I am against the barbaric way in which evictions have been carried out in this country. I was against the way people were evicted from the Mau Forest. Even though people knew that they were living illegally in the forest, the eviction could have been done in a better way. We cannot live as though we do not care about Kenyans, or about hurting Kenyans. My cousin ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will accept the information. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the big number of fake title deeds flying from the Ministry of Lands is at the heart of this controversy. How many Kenyans own land legally, and why is this problem not fixed once and for all? The KAA must begin to negotiate through the lawyers of the victims of the demolitions and pay for whatever has been destroyed. If the KAA wanted to evict these people genuinely, they would have waited for the ruling in the court case. Secondly, they could have given these people a chance to salvage whatever little they have invested. ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was just wondering if I would be in order; now the two Ministers have said that the documents which were supplied to the Member of Parliament are fake. The Minister for Lands has said that these people are known. Could they undertake to bring these people to be known and table their names, so that they can face prosecution. Alternatively, could they undertake to prosecute them? view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to disagree with Mr. Kimunya that the issue of De La Rue is an issue which has gone somehow through the Cabinet and, the last time the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance came here, he did not sufficiently answer the questions which were asked. This is an issue that will cost tax payers colossal amounts of money. I want to ask the Prime Minister--- In his statement, he needs to give Parliament and the people of Kenya at large, a detailed trail of how this was reached. ... view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. May I inform the Minister for Medical Services that this issue has been before the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade since I became a Member of Parliament in 2003. The Committee has rejected the buying of equity by the Government into De La Rue for the last nine years. It beats logic why somebody at the Treasury is always interested in this deal even when the facts that it would benefit the country dictate otherwise. It is only through a Statement by somebody in the Government; the Co-ordinator of the ... view
