• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude my contribution by saying that the main reason why we needed to repeal the Political Parties Act was to strengthen political party management. It was to make sure we do away with briefcase political parties and handle the mischief of party hopping. I think that is a real danger in this country. If I elect a Member of Parliament, as a Member of Orange Democratic Movement Party (ODM), I would want to see that Member of Parliament representing me in Parliament as a Member of ODM Party. If that Member of ... view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you just hear the Minister say that he hopes after the general elections when the Cabinet will reside out there, that this House will be of mature politicians? Is he trying to imply that currently, we do not have mature politicians in this House? view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware of the plan by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) to annex additional 2,737 hectares of private land from residents of Gwassi to add to the gazetted 4,835.7 hectares of Gwassi Hill Forest and, if so, what are the reasons for the move? (b) What measures will the Minister take to ensure that the KFS does not acquire the private land? view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes I wonder and I keep on asking myself so many questions as to why this Government hates my people. I say that because this Government allowed the Uganda Government to take Migingo Island which is in my constituency. As if that is not enough, now they are annexing land and evicting my people. About 8,000 people are affected. There are also six schools in the area. The Minister is misinformed. He comes and says: “Just pockets”. About 2,700 hectares of land added to 4,800 is almost three quarters of the current forest. Where are you ... view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to imply that our people do not want to protect the forest? What we are saying is that the 4,800 hectares which are already gazetted be protected; there is no river in Gwassi. There are only streams in Gwassi. The streams originate from the already existing forest. What you are now taking is where the streams flow to. If you take land up to where they are flowing to, then all Gwasi constituents will be evicted; where will you take them? view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that for the first time I have found a Minister who really considers the plight of the Gwassi people. I am impressed by the Minister’s answer. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Minister if you want to know that what I am saying is true, hon. Pesa’s uncle is Zedekea Ogunyo and he is being evicted. So, I just want to confirm with the Minister; how soon will this trip to Gwassi be so that we settle this matter, once and for all? Who are these people masquerading as leaders, so that I can also see them, because I thought I am the senior most leader in Gwassi? view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Assistant Minister say that we discussed the Report in this House but we are yet to pass the Finance Bill? Is it in order for him to imply that we did not pass the Budget Committee Report in the House recommending that 28,000 teachers be taken on permanent basis? That is 18,000 teachers on contract and 10,000 new or fresh recruits. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would rather advise the Assistant Minister to start preparing to employ these teachers because there is money. Is it in order for him to purport that money has not been made available yet he is very conversant with the provisions of the new Constitution that the budget-making process is now the preserve of Parliament and that even Ministers will not be in the next Parliament? So, how will the Appropriation Bill be brought through the Budget Committee? So, if the Budget Committee has told you we are giving you money, that is final. You should ... view
