• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just saying that the fact that somebody is related to another who may be working in another company is not unlawful. That trend must stop. I want us to slow down on politics for the future of our country. I wish to support this Report. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is my neighbour, hon. Eng. Gumbo, in order to insinuate that Members of Parliament are not sympathetic to the plight of councillors, while councillors took centre stage in campaigning for Yes? They were campaigning for change. They knew they were voting themselves out of jobs. It is not our responsibility. Is he in order! view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for Mr. Namwamba to try to insinuate that he is only gender-sensitive to women who are beautiful? view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will move very fast. I will not take more than five minutes because we have very many issues to raise. First of all, let me thank the CIC for moving with time and keeping us updated. Secondly, let me thank the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for standing with Kenyans in most of these issues. I really want to thank him even though I dispute the fact that he named his cat Ocampo. However, that is his right. Today is a milestone. It is a sad day for our nation. We should ... view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, please, allow me to have one minute. I want to encourage the Director and the Institution of Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) to ensure that the hon. Members who went to The Hague explain to Kenyans whether they used public funds or not. I am not talking about the Ocampo Six. We have no problem with that. There are MPs who left this country on public coffers and must pay that money back to the people. They must give us that money, so that we can use it to resettle the IDPs. That is arrogance, theft and ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member asked that we request that the Question be put forward, he is in Wajir. I just tried to contact him over the phone but he was not aware. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he said that he is dealing with issues of security. Maybe the Minister can tell us why there is so much insecurity in Wajir but he is there. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to first of all, take this opportunity to thank especially the Chair who guided the Committee with a lot of consultation. I am happy and impressed. I also want to thank the Minister. A lot of things that come before this Parliament, especially this issue, are actually meant to make the Minister look bad. The issues of boreholes and all those are obvious. People know them and they are easily visible. This issue was one like another one which is also about to come, which was meant to make the Minister look different ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to ask Madam Minister not to be afraid. Wherever you are taking water, it is much needed. In this Report, you will see that Gem is not one of the constituencies which have received even a borehole, but I am not worried because I know that somebody somewhere in North Eastern or upper Eastern needs water sooner than people in Gem. That is just a principle of fairness and equal opportunity. So, it is fair that all Ministers behave in this manner. In the upcoming Budget, so that there is fairness, everybody should ... view
