• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to mention about the various actions of state officers in this country. Even where the Constitution is not clear, it mandates, and puts a responsibility on us as leaders, to interpret it in a manner that will promote its purposes, values and principles. So, in cases where it is not very clear to us, we should bear in mind that the Constitution has set a threshold for us as a country. Therefore, when we go ahead to make appointments, it is not business as usual. Impunity has no place in this country anymore. ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to talk about the fight against corruption in this country. To me, I am not convinced that this fight has gained momentum as we would like it to. We want the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) to dig deep into mega corruption scandals that have happened in this country. We have cases of Grand Regency and Anglo Leasing which we want investigated and culprits arrested so that this country can start a journey on a fresh path. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Assistant Minister say that in order for one to be the President of Kenya, one needs be aged 35? I wonder which Constitution he is referring to. Our Constitution does not talk about 35 years. He is living in the past. Is he in order to mislead this country? view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was really trying to refrain myself from contributing to this matter, because I am in the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and know what is going on. However, I would urge the Assistant Minister that as he prepares to get us the documents, he should be sure of what he is saying, because he is going to be on the record of the House. It may turn out that what he is telling this House is not correct. If I were him, I would ask the substantive Minister to come and ... view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the recruitment of the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. I think the Government should be very clear on how this process should be done. So, if this House seeks for information, I think it should be provided immediately. In which case, because of the urgency, I request the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to deliver this Statement tomorrow in the afternoon. view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my constituency neighbours Nyatike and a large part of my constituency is also semi-arid. I have personally established that cattle die in Nyatike when it is dry, there are no pastures and cattle move for long distances to look for water. What joint effort has the Government made; his Ministry and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation to provide water points to Nyatike Constituency and other semi-arid view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: constituencies like Gwassi so that when it is dry the cattle get water nearby to avoid deaths? view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very sad when the Government tries to use withdrawal of security to intimidate hon. Members. I want to get something very clearly from the Minister. The security personnel of hon. Kabogo were withdrawn for two days. Who did it? What was the motive? Could the Minister clarify to this nation who ordered view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: the withdrawal of the security? That is because the police officer could not just run away? Somebody must have ordered the withdrawal. He owes an answer to this country. view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, this matter is serious and that is why we are taking it seriously. The clarification we sought was very clear. A police officer who is a Government employee left his duty of guarding hon. Kabogo. By now, the Minister must have known the person who ordered him to leave his station and go elsewhere. He should not tell us what he did afterwards. For the two days that hon. Kabogo did not have security officers, where was that police officer and who ordered him to leave? view
