2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to insist that the Government can only act if it receives requests and yet, it has Education Officers on the ground? Is he in order to fail to answer that question? Why can they not go ahead and provide the emergency funds without waiting for some requests from whatever quarter?

2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I am seeking clarification on from the Assistant Minister is that instead of seeking to waive the diplomatic immunity, knowing very well that the crime was committed in Nigeria, because the embassy is actually a Nigerian territory, why could he not refer this matter permanently to Nigeria, so that they deal with own problems? We are not sure whether it was the husband who assaulted or the wife who assaulted? Either way, it is wrong.

So, instead of putting Kenya into all these problems of handling Nigeriaâs issues, why could he not leave it to Nigeria to deal with their problems? If anything, it was committed in their territory.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Ugandan security forces still occupy Migingo Island in Lake Victoria despite an agreement between the Government of Kenya and Uganda and that the Uganda Government has continued with expansionist policy on Kenyan soil and waters by illegally taking occupation of Ugingo, another Kenyan island next to Migingo? (b) Why has the Government failed to reclaim Migingo Island even after Parliament passed a Motion urging the Government to use all means possible to reclaim the island on ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the second time, I beg to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs the following Question by Private Notice.

31 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saddened by that very lazy answer from the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs. Listening to the Assistant Minister, you get surprised because he has talked of Ugingo Island having not yet been occupied as if he is waiting for the Ugandan forces to occupy it. He has even talked of Uganda giving us conditions to rename the islands. Next time, they will give us conditions to rename Nairobi. My question is this: We agreed with the Ugandan Government, when we made the agreement, to do the survey of the boundary; that, both countries were supposed ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to ask for my patience when this matter has been with us from March, 2009? This agreement was reached before May, 2009. Is it in order for him to ask for unnecessary patience from the Member for Gwassi?

31 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have requested the Assistant Minister to talk to the Commander-In-Chief of this country to wake up and know that our territory is under threat. He has talked of taking steps to refer this matter to the AU or maybe, the UN. Could he tell this House categorically, when the Government of Kenya will refer this matter to the AU? Could he tell us which date?

31 May 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is quite obvious that the Government is treating this matter so lightly the way it has done for more than two years now. My question was very specific. The Ugandan Government has refused to do even the simple thing which we agreed, namely; to withdraw the security forces. Is it in order for the Assistant Minster to evade my question? Could he tell us when he will determine that this matter cannot be resolved diplomatically between Kenya and Uganda and it is necessary to refer it to the UN Security Council, ...
