• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I feel bad that I have to repeat myself. If you have heard the Minister, he is repeating himself again. The question was; why have you not complied with the court and the directive of this House? Instead he says that he has prepared a Cabinet memo. In effect, what he is saying is that what the court and this House have decided is still subject to the Cabinet decision. Is that in order? view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer by the Minister only demonstrates and perpetuates impunity and disregard for the law. These two old men; Ernest Obwocha and Harrison Buyuka gave all their lives to the Judiciary and they have to go to court for proper computation of their pensions. They got court orders and now they are being subjected to the Cabinet. Could the Minister kindly clarify that it is possible to isolate these two cases from the others that are subject of the Cabinet memo so that these two are paid immediately? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The issue that is causing confusion is reconcilliable. There is no difference between the two reports. The problem may be lack of knowledge on what constitutes assault under the law. There is simple assault, assault causing actual bodily harm and assault causing grievous harm. They are all assault. So, if the Assistant Minister could actually know the difference, there could be no conflict at all. Is he in order? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what hon. Hassan has said is very serious. He is talking about the case of a Kenyan who was arrested and died in police custody. It should not be taken so casually. Is it in order for hon. Ojode to say that there is no Milimani Police Station, when he knows that if you say Milimani in Nairobi, you mean Kilimani. There is no Milimani in Nairobi? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the hon. Assistant Minister must clearly appreciate the fact that the Government has not done enough to make sure that the Kenyan public knows anything about carbon trading. Late last year, this issue came up on the Floor. As I asked the Minister, who is directly concerned with carbon trading, he feigned ignorance. But when we walked of the Chamber, he asked me: “Wakili, biashara gani hii ya hewa unaongea?” view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what does that show? It shows that even in the Cabinet, there are Members who do not know carbon trading at all. So, what is the Government doing to ensure that every Kenyan understands carbon trading and is also assisted to participate? view
• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, debate on this Question should not degenerate into whom amongst doctors and lawyers and magistrates are superior in training or superior in terms of service. It is a question of who among them deserves more security. To that extent, the Minister is right. To avoid situations like in Kisumu where magistrates have to share residences with accused persons, thereby making their lives very risky, what is the Ministry doing to ensure that those who dispense justice like judges and magistrates are housed properly and in a secure area? view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although footbridges are not meant for vehicular traffic they play a vital role in connecting people who would otherwise be divided by the small streams. The problem in the success of footbridges all over the Republic is that they are not being supervised by engineers of the Minister on the ground. There is the case of Tiengele Rota Bridge in Kisumu which does not have ramps on either side. When we report to the engineers they seem to be protective of the contractors and not the public. What has the Minister done to ensure that his engineers ... view
