• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whoever listened to the Minister carefully must have heard that the jail terms and the fines given by different orders vary from Kshs500,000 to Kshs1 million. Again, we have had occasions in this House when the Minister in charge of roads complained that road furniture and other instruments have been destroyed by those who collect scrap metal. The Minister has also said that NEMA is in charge. Why has the Government not taken time to synchronize, or harmonize these orders and the laws because vandalism of transformers is countrywide? Could the Minister give a commitment that the ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while listening to the Minister lamenting how he did not get enough funds, when you move to the police posts and stations in the constituencies and see the conditions under which our police officers are living, you will be shocked. I will invite the Minister to Kahuro Police Station which is in my constituency. We are told by the Minister for Finance that funds have been returned to Treasury. What is the collective responsibility of the Cabinet? Funds have been returned to the Treasury and yet our officers are living in very poor conditions and these ... view
• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady although it has taken me the whole day. I oppose the amendment proposed by hon. Githae. We should read this clause and continue. Those of you who have been here in the past regime know how many people suffered through this. Who says that this will not be repeated? We should go by the amendments brought by the Chair and delete this clause and continue. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, on the second one, regulations made under subclause 1 shall not take effect until the regulations have been approved by the National Assembly. The Committee on Delegated Legislation is required to do so. So, when any organisation makes regulations, it will eventually end up in Parliament through this Committee. I support the amendment. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think if we consider the Council and what they will be discussing and it is brought to the House, it is no longer a secret. Even if they were regulations, regulations are by laws. I oppose. ( Question, that the words to be left view

• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. Much has been said about it, but I think the most important aspect in this issue of integrity is whether we, Kenyans, address the character and values of our society. The problem we have encountered in this country is that we pass very good laws, but we do not fully implement them.
