9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have just heard the Deputy Leader of Government Business requesting that this Question be deferred until Tuesday, next week. This is a Question by Private Notice and I filed it two weeks ago. It was deferred last week because the Minister was not in the House to answer it. I think it will be unfair to me if this Question is deferred again.

9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, before this sitting of Parliament started, I got a call from the Office of the Assistant Minister telling me that they have made necessary arrangements and that the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs was going to answer this Question. As I said earlier, this Question was filed two weeks ago. Last week, it was deferred and it is a Question by Private Notice. Further, I had already raised the same issue in form of a Ministerial Statement and the Ministry deliberately failed to issue that Statement, until I was advised now to file it in the form ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The other time that the Assistant Minister brought a Ministerial Statement to this House, it was later disowned by the substantive Minister in that Ministry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could you, kindly, ascertain---

8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has invoked Standing Order No. 43(11). It says:- “A Question shall not seek information which, by operation of any written law, is secret.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I asked for per district names of people recently recruited to the Kenya Defence Forces. The same Assistant Minister is on record saying previously in this House that they recruited 1,800 members in total. It would benefit this House if he explained how an indication of how many people were recruited from each district and the gender balance is secret. How secret is that? Could he explain to ...

8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, you rightly quoted me when I said that the Assistant Minister not too long ago talked about recruiting 1,800. He even went further and said that 400 or thereabout of the same, were women. The question I am asking is

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this Motion. When this saga came to the public knowledge it was a very big shame to this country. It was a shame when we came to learn that national identity cards were issued to foreigners.

8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I said, this was a very sad period in the history of this country when we learnt that national identity cards were issued to foreigners who had not even been naturalized as is required by the Constitution. The same foreigners were appointed to the police force and made Deputy Commissioners of Police. It is not only that; they were also given VIP treatment at our international airport and other places. This was really sad. If there is anything to call impunity, I think this is the highest state of impunity. The fact that these people ...
