• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I do not think there is any shame in us as a State financing through our meagre resources, the peace process in Somalia. Those people are here. They are friendly people. They are people you sit down with and have a cup of tea, argue and discuss the essence of peace and development. Let us not look at Mogadishu as a competitor of Mombasa or Lamu. Let us look at them as compliment to what we do. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I recently went to Somaliland. I was shocked that over 5,000 Kenyans are expatriates there. But we do not have an embassy there because somebody thinks; we should not have an Embassy there. Note that it is not necessary for us to have an embassy there, but it is a shame of our time when we cannot create jobs even for our graduates. This is a country that respects us to an extent of allowing over 5,000 Kenyans to work there. Why do we not recognise them? In the process of not recognising them, we also do not recognise our ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Why do you want to continue cleaning toilets in down town Washington while you can be an expert in your own country, earning such a decent salary? Why do we have a policy here with this Government that cannot wake up one morning and get all the lot of people who are educated in agriculture, arid lands, farming and livestock and so forth; go there and negotiate with Somalia people. These people can help in rebuilding that country. They can help in technology. Our tissue culture in bananas, for instance, which is world class, should be able to be exported ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the same strength, they should be able to investigate this Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Who drives their agenda? Who drives their policies? Is it the Cabinet or this House? If it is this House, indeed, then we are saying the people of Kenya must be represented, wherever they are, by this august House. We are not here on the instructions of EEC. We are not here to carry the wishes of the US Government. We are not here to carry the wishes of any other State. We are here to carry the wishes of Kenyans ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: would not cost much. If you do so, then we can export faster to Middle East and Asia. We will have business people open their hotels along the road and railway line. You can also be able to export clean water through the same system using the major rivers that we have in Mt. Kenya. Mt. Kenya people had better listen to this. They should look at Mt. Kenya sometimes other than where the God of the Kikuyu lives. They look at it differently. I am looking at it as a place where they can get fresh water piped along ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister persuade his prosecutors and the police to charge the new suspects under this new law so that Kenyans, indeed, can see those people found with AK47s going in for life, now that it is an Act of Parliament? view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is doing very well. What we are saying is to encourage the prosecutors to charge the suspects under that new law, because unless they are charged under that new law, they will still go round using the other old law. We have so many cases every day. That is all I am saying. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister explain the specific measures she has undertaken with regard to the mobile phones because there are over 20 million pieces which are being disposed off as common waste at the rate of 6 million pieces per year? view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: (a) why the Ministry has delayed completion and commissioning of the Naivasha Water Supply Project inspite of several promises by the Government over the last two years; view
