• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for quite a number of years, this issue of the Anglo Leasing scam has really occupied a lot of the time of this House. The mistakes that were made mainly by the former Government, cannot be corrected unless we look forward. This is because if we live in the past, it will not be possible for us to move forward. I think that is why this Government prefers to move forward and forget about the past. view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: There have been challenges on the Floor of this House about the growth of the economy. When ever, in the history of Kenya, did the budget of this country reach the figure that it has reached now, of Kshs474 billion, out of which 95.28 per cent has come from the economy itself? This 95.28 per cent is money which has not been begged, like it used to be. People used to travel all over the world to beg. This money has come from the pockets of Kenyans, through taxation. How have they been able to afford this if the economy ... view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am responding to the Motion, which has been supported by other hon. Members; by over-praising corruption rather than noting the way corruption has been corrected. That is what I am doing! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that the economy has grown by 6 per cent. We also know that inflation has been going down and not up.

• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to respond as follows. On 10th April, 2007, hon. M'Mukindia rose on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement on what he termed, and I quote: "The escalating insecurity in the whole of Meru region" April 12, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 601 and what action the Government is taking. view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would appear as if Ministerial Statements are not of very much importance. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the very beginning, let me assure this House that although there were incidents which have led to insecurity, the matter was promptly handled and there was no escalation of insecurity in the whole of Meru region as alleged by the hon. Member. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, boundary disputes in the greater Meru District date back to the colonial times. However, the recent flare up of hostilities between the Tharaka and Meru can be traced to 1986 when the ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: , just opposite a road leading to Kibunga. The Tharaka community objected and shot at the DC's entourage with bows and arrows. That was in 1986. In 1994, clashes again erupted between the Tharaka and Meru communities claiming many lives. The Government of the day, therefore, mandated and facilitated the Njuri Ncheke elders to resolve the boundary issue.
