• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is about life and death. It is about people who are going to die in Naivasha. Recently with a lot of sadness, we buried 26 unidentified bodies which have been left in Naivasha because of these kind of accidents. When you are dealing with this kind of scenario, truly one day is too long to wait. One week is even longer and one year is impossible to wait. We have a time limit in our lives; our lives are not limitless. We need to have traffic flow that functions. Let us look at the ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: , we are very far off. I want to say that now that we are going towards elections and I know in some quarters that some junior officers are said to be under pressure from their bosses to do certain things and because of that, they continue asking for fixed bribes, usually Kshs100 or Kshs50 depending on which route you are and how poor you are and it is routine even if you have a new vehicle. I had a personal experience in 1986. Having come from Australia, I bought a brand new pickup. For clarity so that you can ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: We must have systems that function. A new car could not pass because the owner is driving it and did not have in the cigarette ashtray Kshs700 or Kshs800. What we are saying is that Mr. Michuki - God rest him in eternal peace - did the rules but they were not in the main statute. I do not see the difficulty with the Minister coming here at the Third Reading and causing amendments in this particular amendment. I do not see the difficulty with it. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would describe them by any other word as corrupt police officers in precise and concise English. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I withdraw the word “idiocy” because it is not parliamentary but I want to find a better English word and I wish I had my dictionary here; a word that describes a corrupt police officer who forces a brand new car owner to put Kshs700 in the ashtray so that that car can pass an inspection test. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am trying to find a good English word but my English is failing me. Having said that and having withdrawn the word “idiocy’ with apologies to them, they must have been sacked a long time ago, I want to tell the Minister to look at the cries of many people who are wailing in mortuaries today. I have seen my own uncle in Naivasha where there was an accident where 41 people died. I asked the Minister who is before me here about that accident and before my uncle died, he only gave one ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Ole Ntimama if he is here and I am asking for forgiveness, he will say that his daughter passed on because traffic could not move. There was no way ambulances could have moved from Athi River up to Nairobi Hospital because of the jam. There was a traffic jam for over two hours and she died of cardiac arrest. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The blame for that mess can be shared by two people; first, the Government. The Government itself has failed to do what is called the fire lane. The fire lane is where hon. Kimunya and other VIPs, not only VIPs but the fire engines and the ambulances can pass. I have seen the designs of the roads now, and I do not see any such designs. I have seen the designs of the new roads and I see the Minister in charge of roads is also here with us today. He also comes from Nakuru--- In all those ones, we ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The other one is about indiscipline. The feeling that you can buy everything including people’s lives with money; that is what is even killing our people. We have to support this Bill so that the Government wakes up from slumber and at the Third Reading, we will cause a few necessary amendments. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, having gone through the hell of the Naivasha Highways, having known the many Kenyans who are suffering, I support wholeheartedly. view
