15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I almost let it pass but now that he has brought it up, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to insist that he gave the breakdown, when he only listed the programmes that are affected? He did not indicate the amounts besides those programmes, so that we can know. If it is a question of drought mitigation in western Kenya, how much is being refunded? If it is the Ministry of Education, FPE funds, how much was refunded? That way, Kenyans can know how much we are likely to lose.

15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has admitted that over Kshs2.4 billion out of the total amount has either been refunded or will be refunded on the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme. It is clearly evident that there are areas where that money will come from. I would like the Assistant Minister to come out clearly and tell the people of this country which programmes will suffer as a consequence of that. That is because he has indicated to this House that he will seek for reallocation from some areas to fill the gap that has been left by that ...

15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to continue misleading this House by asking us questions as to whether it is possible to bring in several amendments through one Bill yet the Constitution is very clear in Article 256? The Minister is a lawyer and should understand this better. In Article 256(d), the Constitution says that:- “A Bill to amend this Constitution may not address any other matter apart from consequential amendments to legislation arising from the Bill”.

The reason why this was put in the Constitution was to avoid the mischief of any Member bundling several amendments together in a way to mislead even the people who would have opposed some amendments. This is very clear. Even if the traditions---

15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to start by saying that on 12th of November, 2011, I think many Kenyans, if not all and even beyond watched with disappointment, confusion and horror and it appeared like a movie when the Government of Kenya decided to demolish several buildings belonging to Kenyans who have toiled very hard; Kenyans, most of whom are below the age of 40 and Kenyans who have no capacity to stop these demolitions. Watching what was happening without even going to the legalities, the documents and the titles, was, to me, a barbaric act by the ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I watched the police officers guarding those houses being demolished, I asked myself: Who really pays these police officers? I thought it was the same mothers, men, parents and siblings of the children who were left in the cold crying.
