• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second part of hon. M'Mukindia's question was that this House should be told what the Government has done. This is what the Government has done:- (i) Two suspects have been arrested for incitement. (ii) District Security and Intelligence Committees from the larger Meru sub-region have held several barazas to ask wananchi to maintain peace and give the task force a chance to complete its work. (iii) Security has been beefed up in the affected areas through police patrols. (iv) There is an on-going search for more suspects who are believed to have incited the youths ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. 604 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 12, 2007 Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been asked to guarantee security to the task force. That security is there. That is why the task force is intact and in existence in the area. Security for the task force will continue to be provided. What I cannot guarantee is whether the task force will finish the work in two weeks. It all depends on the pace at which they will move in doing the work. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kagwima wants me to guarantee him that the boundaries that now exist will remain intact. ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me address the concerns expressed by Mr. Muite by first of all, confirming to him that the Government has no intention of creating additional provinces. If there have been any discussions of that kind, it is more of speculation than a factual situation. Secondly, on the creation of districts, Mr. Muite is proposing that we pass the law and then create the districts. But the districts come from the wishes of the people. Therefore, people must consult before the creation of new districts. That is what we have done so far. We are still in ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On the issue raised by Mr. M'Mukindia as to whether politicians are involved--- Obviously, nobody, politician or non-politician, is allowed by law to disturb peace. Everyone is bound by the law. They cannot go wrong when they follow the law. There are two councillors that we know have gone into hiding. We are looking for them. That is the extent to which politicians, as far as I know, are involved in that matter. Mr. M.Y Haji has told us what they have done in their district. But he has not told us that the neighbouring district has some pending issues ... view

• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Prof. Maathai, the Member for Tetu Constituency, to insinuate that this Government does not respect human rights, and that even where people have surrendered, they have been shot? view

• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was going to thank you before I was interrupted and to appreciate your indulgence in giving me the opportunity to make my contribution to this Motion. April 5, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 445 The IPU is an institution that is committed to the promotion of parliamentary democracy; democracy that respects the rule of law and recognises each country's culture and embraces the modern concepts of a democratic state. It is because we have these attributes and others that we are members of that union. A few years ago, while in the Opposition, I attended one ... view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. So, I am saying that the truth will prevail, because all that has been attributed to me, I have never done it. Some hon. Members of this House have fallen into the trap of believing everything that is printed in newspapers. The hon. Member for Tetu raised this issue in another forum, and I took the opportunity, although it was a very brief one, to clarify the position. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, can The Standard newspaper get it right this time round and write exactly what I said? If they have to ... view
