• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Gwassi Constituency all over a sudden became rich from a poverty level of 66 per cent to 50 per cent. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, someone sat somewhere in an office and came up with these statistics. This is unacceptable. Even as we want to support this Motion, mine would be that we require a guarantee that, this time round, the Ministry is going to do a credible survey and come up with results that can be relied on; and not outrageous results like the one we see in this booklet. It is important that the Ministry does a radical surgery ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I started by saying that I supported reluctantly. I made my point. The Member of the Speaker’s Panel is harassing me for nothing. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Much as I really appreciate, recognize and respect the competence of the Minister whose education cannot be challenged, I think the matter we are dealing with is very weighty. We would not be discussing this matter if the Government got it right the first time. I would request that, probably, we defer the debate on this matter so that the substantive Minister can take this issue very seriously. Otherwise, the issues we are raising--- Some of us are very bitter that the Government cannot come up with correct statistics. You have ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also expected a Statement from the Attorney-General with regards to the issue of withdrawals of Government funds in this financial year before the Appropriation Act was assented to. The Attorney-General was supposed to bring this Statement last week. However, he was not in the House. I expected it today. I saw the Attorney-General, but he has not given any indication that he has the Statement. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion. First, allow me to congratulate the Committee for doing a very good job within a very short time. All of us watched the joint committee sitting until late, trying to unearth what led to the demolitions of these houses and also to unearth the rot that is in our Government Ministries. Let me say from the onset, that I would like to go back to what led to the two committees being asked to look into this matter. It is very sad that this Government acted with such ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very clear to me from the Report that there is a lot of confusion in the Government. There is rot in the Ministry of Land and it is high time that the Ministry is fixed. Probably we will ask the Minister and the Government to do what we did with the Electoral Commission of Kenya. We should sweep the whole Ministry, let them go home so that we can have Kenyans who can serve Kenyans well in that Ministry. We cannot continue to have a Ministry which does not know who owns land in ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, yes, I want to repeat that. Even church leaders grab land. In fact, I am told that some of the worst grabbers of land are church leaders in this country. It is unethical, unacceptable and, as a country, we need to put a stop to this. I want to conclude my contribution by saying that what has happened of late is something that the Government needs to correct, first, by moving with speed to resettle these individuals and compensate them for the loss they have incurred. Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the way the Assistant Minister is responding to this issue, it is quite evident that he is not sure. He is trying to push it now to the officers who are not responsible to this Parliament. I think it will be in order for this matter to be deferred, so that the Assistant Minister can come properly prepared to answer this Question. The way I see it, the Minister looks a bit confused. view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that the Constitution is very clear on salaries. According to him, any negotiations of salaries must be done by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. Could he tell us which particular Article of the Constitution says so? I am not aware of any. view
• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I challenged the Assistant Minister to tell us the exact article, which he has just quoted. As far as I am concerned, the salaries negotiations given to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission are not clear to me. So, could he educate me because he seems to know more about this Constitution than I do? Could he tell me the exact article which says that any salary negotiations between employees of Government and the Government must go through the Salaries and Remuneration Commission? view
