• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, water companies act as agents of the Ministry because they are appointed by the Water Services Board. Therefore, the Ministry, as the principal, must be prepared to take responsibility for their acts. So, if wananchi agree and the agents appointed by the principal are not prepared to work properly, then the Ministry must come forward and take charge by paying the bills and re-managing the positions. So, under these circumstances, is it in order for the Minister to ask for an undertaking from the water companies when it is the responsibility of the Ministry to ... view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Minister to use the Chair of this House as an example of what he wants to say? It is undignified. view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Assistant Minister must be aware that police orderly room proceedings are not judicial proceedings. They are subordinate to judicial proceedings. Police orderly room proceedings are presided over by the immediate senior of the police officers; most of the time, the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) or the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD), the same persons who offer to charge the same police officer. In the past, it has been a process that has been misused to suppress junior officers by their seniors. Under these circumstances, if the police were aware that they were opting to charge ... view

What is the Ministry’s policy on changing middle-level colleges into universities and having something else in their places? view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I listened very carefully as the Minister for Lands was explaining how valid title deeds can be transferred on leases that were given to public corporations. One of the things that the Minister said was that when conditions of the original lease indicated that the leasehold interest cannot be transferred or sold then any public corporation that attempts to make that transfer or sale, however competitive the process is, will be committing an illegality and will be breaching the conditions of the lease. Under these circumstances, could he clarify to the House if the leasehold interests ... view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue that I have raised has not been addressed by the Minister. The issue was this: If it was a condition in the original lease that the interest would not be transferred, then it is possible that Kenyans who are innocent are being given title deeds which are not worth the paper they are written on. Could the Minister confirm? It is not a question of what the Government will do or what people have agreed on. But has the condition of the lease been changed to allow for transfers of ... view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Energy and I wish to join His Excellency the President, the Right Hon. Prime Minister and the Vice-President and other Kenyans of goodwill who have condoled with the people of Japan, arising from the recent earthquake and tsunami havoc. The Statement I wish to seek from the Minister for Energy is on safety concerns arising from the recent release of radioactive materials into the environment as a result of the accidental leakage from a nuclear reactor in Japan. In particular, I would like the Minister ... view
