25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, a school made payment to a contractor on 24th July, 2008 and it takes an hon. Member to ask a Question before the Ministry acts. I wonder whether this Ministry has auditors within its ranks. So what assurance is the Assistant Minister giving us that funds have not been lost in his Ministry as a result of this kind of negligence and lack of due attention to procurement and management of finances?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs to even attempt to think that he has more interest in fish farming than I do when he has no knowledge of how---

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a House of rules. Would I get confirmation whether hon. Karua is legally and officially recognized as the Opposition leader in this House? As far as I am concerned---

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start by urging this House to find that the Speech by the President was deficient in terms of what we expected as per the Constitution. I believe that the President based his Speech on Article 132(1) of the Constitution. It says:- “The President shall- (c) once every year- (i) report, in an address to the nation, on all the measures taken and the progress achieved in the realisation of the national values, referred to in Article 10;”

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at Article 10, I see the national values as patriotism, national unity, sharing and devolution of power, the rule of law---

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
I pause there and ask myself: “Did the President address this nation and told this country the progress we have made in upholding the rule of law?” My answer is “no”. He fell short of telling us how this country has made strides in upholding the rule of law. An example can be given of what happened last week in Limuru, where a young man was brutalised and tortured in broad daylight. A period that we thought we had passed is happening today.

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the President stood here and, instead of addressing us to apologise to the nation for what the security apparatus did, I do not see any strength in the President’s Speech in terms of upholding the rule of law. What of human dignity? What was so dignifying in the way that young man was handled? Could the President tell us why his Government allowed the security apparatus to handle those young people in the way they were handled? Could he tell us why people were shot in their houses by the security apparatus in Dandora? We ...

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Constitution also talks about national unity. The President was very firm about the secession by the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC). I thank him for that. He was very firm about illegal groups, but I never heard him talk with the same zeal and strength about the tribal groupings of the GEMA and Kamatusa, which are also a threat to national unity. They are, probably, even a bigger threat because they have more following. The GEMA is a grouping of so many millions of Kenyans – much more that the MRC. It is more of a ...

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, how I wish that the road was developed in some other areas so that I could condemn those areas, but it is developed towards Thika and it has taken Kshs29 billion which another region has not taken. That is what I was saying and if it is hatred, I just want to ask the Government to balance its resources so that it is not seen that there is any hate.
