• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Chair has ruled in the past when I was present in this House that if a full Minister or a senior Minister is present in the House, an Assistant Minister should not and cannot purport to represent the Government! view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am raising this point of order with a lot of reluctance. Mr. Mbugua is moving round and threatening us. He has threatened me here by saying that I am planning to bring a censure Motion against the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, and that I will see. He has now gone to the other side of the House, and it appears that he is doing the same. I think he should be asked to be orderly, even though I know that there is very little he can do ... view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion as amended. Let me start by thanking the Mover of the original Motion, Dr. Khalwale for making it possible for us today to discuss this issue that has been with us for a while. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Before we went on recess, I proposed to move such a Motion, but the Government requested that we defer it, so that they follow diplomatic channels. As I talk today, even though the Government is hailing those diplomatic channels, they have not borne any significant fruit. I do not want to belabour the point of where Migingo Island or Kacheliba is because it appears now that even Ugandans have confirmed that they know it is our territory. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was young, I used to fish up to Migingo Island. Even then I knew it was our territory. I was never harassed. In 1991, the first inhabitants of Migingo Island settled there. They were all from Kenya. As I talk today, about 90 per cent of the population in Migingo Island are Kenyans. Over 50 per cent of that population come from my constituency. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: I would like to point out that even with the map, the Ugandan Constitution and the Kenyan Constitution confirm that Migingo has always been and will always be in Kenya. Yesterday when I listened to the President of Uganda talk, I was amazed. First of all, the Government of Kenya must take immediate steps to protest to the President of Uganda to be a bit civil in his language. I do not understand how a President of a whole nation can abuse a community that forms a third of his own country. The Luos are not only in Kenya. There ... view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: That notwithstanding, we cannot entertain and tolerate the President of the so- called friendly country exporting his dictatorial tendencies to our country. I do not want to hear Alfred Mutua speak today over Migingo. I want to hear the President of this country speaking to the President of Uganda and telling him that his comments on the Luos are unacceptable. We, as a country, are trying to heal from the effects of ethnicity. We are trying to work on cohesiveness of this country. We cannot at this time accept another country to come and segregate us and turn a national ... view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: We want to remind him that Kacheliba and Migingo are in Kenya. The President of Uganda must desist from interfering with our country. Our country must remain sovereign. He is referring to the water around Migingo Island as Ugandan water. He should be reminded that the bulk of the water in Lake Victoria comes form Kenya. That includes the water in Jinja. So, he should not intimidate us. We fought dictatorship in this country. We cannot fail to fight dictatorship from another country. If we fought dictatorship of a President who was residing in Kenya, what can stop us from ... view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the economic effects of what has happened ever since this controversy began, I can tell you that I have some of my constituents, who used to fish around Migingo Island. Due to fear, they have grounded all view
