• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Assistant Minister appreciates the problem of road signage, can they consider making it compulsory to have reflective plastic fittings on the highways to save lives? Without warning signs, motorists, and especially politicians, who travel at night; are at risk. Can we have plastic reflectors compulsorily fitted on all the new roads, so that when scrap metal dealers steal road signage, motorists can stick between the white and the yellow lines? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to interrupt my good friend, hon. Kabando wa Kabando, but can I suggest that we do three minutes each, so that all of us can contribute given that time is running very fast? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Bill. Just today in the news, somebody buried a 95 year old woman alive because she was too poor and a headache to the family. It cannot be worse than that in any part of the world. Looking at where we sit in this wonderful Chamber here, and I invite the Members to look at the Mosaics on the walls of all the regions from Mt. Kenya to the Coast, they show poverty. In some of the areas, people live in areas that are defined by the United Nations as conditions that ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister need not worry about this going on because we have seen it in the Traffic Act. There is a precedence that we will continue up to the conclusion. The good ideas in this Bill can still be amended further when the other Bill comes into force. However, we must have something to take home for the sake of the 95-year old woman who was buried alive. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, PBK is the property of farmers and the Government does not have a single share in it. What is the Ministry doing by appointing CEOs, financial accountants and even selling assets of the PBK? view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in seconding this, I want to remind the House the days of the CD3 forms, and it was a criminal offense to have a one dollar bill 48 hours after you had come from a safari. We have so many Kenyans in the Diaspora, and when they remit their mortgage payments, they have to do it through the banks and they lose massive amounts of money. Since most of them have investments in mortgages, it is very important that we allow this mortgage companies, particularly Housing Finance Companies, to trade in foreign exchange, so that ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious there is a big problem in that region. It is also obvious that all the parties do appreciate that particular phenomenon. Shall I be in order if I persuaded the Chair to refer--- Although you have said many times that the Chair does not have to really--- view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: I stand guided. My apologies, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My mind was on the Chair of Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. When talking about that, I feel that there are some issues which are so sensitive that if said even with all these six or eight walls that endorse this particular plenary, we are still not very okay. The Chair, Mr. Kapondi, who is my friend, is capable, perhaps, to go even within his Committee to have a sub-committee so that we can have the nitty-gritties of that particular matter. That is because violence looks real in that particular ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to congratulate the Minister and his staff because the people who thought they had made fortunes out of piracy can now have sleepless nights. The Minister will be able to move in. The Minister will have to instill confidence in the international world. The people who thought Kenya was safe to bring all those proceeds from such weird gains; from pirating have no place now. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it takes courage and I want to thank the Minister for taking courage and leading other African nations in showing that we can be disciplined ... view
