29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that part "b" of my Question does not apply and we have evidence that IDPs are there. I have a letter here written by a chief of Ol Konto Location confirming that Peter Njenga Njoroge lost his shamba in 1992 and he has not been able to get it back.

29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask the question, this answer is not satisfactory. This issue is of grave importance. We need to get a substantive answer to it so that we can be able to discuss it and serve Kenyans the way we should from here.

29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to start by thanking and congratulating Dr. Eseli for coming up with this kind of Motion; a Motion that deals with the core issues; a Motion that needs to be, in future, discussed in much depth. These are issues that need to be brought out more clearly. They are issues that need to be expounded upon. We need to make sure that they are not clouded in some things that are not clear. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many ...

There is a lot of loud consultations going on. I think the Assistant Minister needs to lower his voice.

29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has kept quiet. I was saying that it is important that we also pay attention to the Kenyans whom we are taxing. They also want to see some form of returns going back to the areas that they live in. It would be sad if this issue is reduced to a point where we look at Mt. Kenya. A lot of this has been said; so, I feel obliged to say something about it. A lot has been said, that there are a lot of resources which have been taken ...

23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe that one of the reasons we have security in place is because there is the fear of the law. I believe the fear of the law contributes substantially to the maintenance of law and order in a country, or in any community. Over the past couple of years, we have witnessed situations where, we, as leaders, have shown a total disregard of the existing statutes in this country. Even as we engage in the debate of amnesty, some people talk about this issue with smiles on their faces, clearly, telling Kenyans: "This ...

15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that there are many African countries which are still in turmoil and the genesis of it is the discovery of oil in those countries. What measures are being taken by the Government, at this early stage, so that in the event that we discover oil, and I hope we do, this country is not faced with clashes that are sponsored mostly by those who have an interest in the discovered resource?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Ndaragwa Constituency neighbours Ol Kalou Constituency and as such I have a lot of interest in the answers that are being given to this Question. Could the Assistant Minister inform this House what criteria or factors are going to be used to determine how the funds will be used once the classification is done?

15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If I heard it right, the Assistant Minister has said that the Government may not post veterinary officers to the highlands because they are not doing anything. If that is the Government position, could we be told so that we can know what to do? That is a very disturbing position because we also have livestock within those regions. There is a lot of dairy farming that is going on and it also requires the same attention. It is important that Ministers cease answering Questions on regional basis! That is not ...
