• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the person who was putting questions to the Ministers just the other day is today struggling to say anything. I think that is the nature of this "animal" called the Grand Coalition. view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given the problems we are having after the post-election violence; the IDPs and all other issues, as of now, 20 out of 40 phone calls we are receiving every day are of people whose children are not being allowed in schools because they have not paid school fees. Some people are IDPs in Gem Constituency and their children were going to school in Nyeri. Could the Ministry come up with a policy as he figures out how to get the bursary allocation - which he is doing so poorly - to protect the displaced and people who ... view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is important that a statement comes from the Government to reassure Kenyans who have been displaced and have not had any economic activities, even a little. People who are not IDPs are not able to pay fees given the rising food prices. Could the Assistant Minister, even if he cannot answer this, kindly take this up, as a Ministry, to stop the school heads from stopping our children from going to schools? view
• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, in order to ensure comprehensive protection of the Kenyan Consumer; this House grants leave for the introduction of a Bill for an Act of Parliament entitled The Consumer Protection Bill to establish consumer protection law that will contribute towards the improvement of consumer welfare, and for matters incidental thereto and connected therewith. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not a new Motion. I moved the same Motion last year, and we drafted a Bill which never saw the light of day. Therefore, I want to, again in the ... view

• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the body I seek to establish through this Motion is one that will be responsible for information and advising the public on issues that affect them, be they health, environment and trade.

• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I donate a further three minutes to Mr. Baiya, the hon. Member for Githunguri Constituency? view
• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to take this opportunity to thank the hon. Members who, as I expected, are in agreement with this move to improve our laws to protect our people. It is incumbent upon this House to rise above the usual politics and do something, which is good for the country. Where we are politically, this is what is expected of us. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from here we are going to move expeditiously to reproduce the Bill, which, we hope, will get support in the same manner as this Motion. This is a ... view
• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: You cannot watch for two hours without seeing a naked person! That naked person is not a Kenyan who is lacking clothes! It is somebody showing off his or her body for money! It does not even happen in America, which they say is the most free of the free world. It does not happen! What we see, even the dance channels shown on our television stations, they do not show us people dancing in Kondele, Kisumu! They do not show us people dancing at the Bomas of Kenya! They show us people dancing almost nude, and our kids get ... view
