• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister did not get my argument clearly. I wanted to inform him that if you reduce tariffs--- view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought he accepted. view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House that the maximum age for chairmen of boards of parastatals and, more particularly, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is 60 years? view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Even though I agree with my brother, hon. Chanzu, on his concern, are some of the Ministerial Statements that we ask not going to interfere with the freedom of the Press and media? If the media reports some information from some of us, should they be victimized? Should we ask for explanations in this House? view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The first time this incident occurred, the Minister addressed the nation and gave a position. Today, listening to him, I realize that things have changed. It appears that the Minister is getting scanty information from his Ministry. Is it that the Minister is being sidelined in his Ministry and, by extension, in this Government and, maybe, in People’s Democratic Movement (PDM), or is it that he is being sabotaged in his Ministry? Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 2003, a number of people were removed from the streets to join the National Youth Service (NYS) and ... view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my support to the Motion of Adjournment. Many of us have spoken and said that Kenyans have waited for far too long to realize a new constitutional dispensation. It is true that we have waited for that document for too long and the earlier we dispose of it, the better for this country. The earlier we realize a new Constitution, the better for this country. view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I am aware that we will meet somewhere in Nairobi and that is fine. But I would be failing in my duty if I do not warn this House that, even as we consult, we should know that we are making a Constitution for Kenyans. If we go to that meeting thinking that we are making a Constitution for ourselves, we will miss the point. It is also not right for us to demonize the work of the CoE. We hired those people; it is this House that hired the CoE. The process that we used was very detailed and ... view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: And Uganda! view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You know the main reason why Governments are elected is to protect the sovereignty and borders of countries. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, I think, should be restrained from giving such answers on the Floor of the House. I have even asked him a Question on Ugandan forces that are on Kenyan soil and he has not answered. He is purporting to answer a question that relates to another Ministry and yet, he cannot even answer a Question that relates to his Ministry. I would like to ask the Chair to ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I got the Assistant Minister correctly, he said that the Government is in the process of recruiting personnel to carry out that exercise. He is admitting that the Government was not prepared for that exercise. The same Assistant Minister has gone ahead to talk with finality and tell the whole country that, that exercise is not going to be suspended. Why is the Ministry insisting on carrying on with the exercise when the Government is ill prepared for the same? And--- view
