• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Minister aware that all the youths in Naivasha have been turned away from the Armed Forces because of rotten or brown teeth associated with the high levels of fluorine and further that scientifically, the children being born risk being stunted or having lower IQ than the normal because of the very high fluorine levels? view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) whether he could reveal the names of personalities, both from Kenya and abroad, who own the Laico Regency Hotel (formerly Grand Regency Hotel); (b) who the shareholders and directors of the holding companies and their subsidiary companies are; and, (c) whether he could table copies of the due diligence reports, as well as the shareholders and directors as at the time of execution of the sale and confirm or deny that relatives of owners of the former Grand Regency are among the owners of the hotel. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In supporting the Presidential Address, I want to acknowledge a very important paragraph in his Speech, and I quote:- “Indeed, as a country, we have not in the past given priority to systematic unveiling of a set of values and principles which define or become our national interest”. This was a very good admission that the way we have conducted ourselves in the past leaves a lot to be desired. The way forward is by keenly following what the new Constitution now requires us to do. I want to go straight to the ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: I notice that one very critical aspect was left out, namely, the matter dealing with post-election violence. The President should not squander that chance and he should, on the same breath, order that we have special courts dealing with our affairs. We cannot wait to see what the international community is doing. We cannot wait here and listen to Ocampo or indeed, the ICC, whereas we have an opportunity within ourselves and within the powers of this House to do as required and as ably said in this landmark Speed, to have special courts. I would persuade this House to ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I respect the Prime Minister, I respect the Ministers, I respect his loyalists, but you do not need to go to any dictionary or it is not rocket science to know that those people who manage the FBI are white men. The commanders of the Scotland Yard are white men. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not need information. The people who run those institutions that we cherish, including Ocampo; Ocampo is not a Luo. He only has a name that seems Luo. He is Frenchman. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for his comfort, what business would we have with a Government that does not believe in its police force? What business do we have sitting here when we have bodyguards who are police officers and we do not believe in them? What business do we have with courts that we do not believe in? It is good that we declare here in this House. If we do not have faith in the police force or in our courts, then it should be as clear as that. Nevertheless, I did understand that policemen are suspects. There ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can see that hon. Members are very anxious to consume my time. I want to borrow from the triviality and talk of real issues. This Speech lacked real approach on gender. To an extent that if you look at the overall budgetary outlay and the Ministry of Agriculture, for instance, I am glad to be the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives, the labour input by women is actually 62 per cent. This is acknowledged. When you come to specific projects like mama mboga, poultry farming and so on, all ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm or deny that the actual problem is a conflict between interests in companies being pushed by several people in the Government who are antagonistic? It is these people who care causing this jam. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nation Newspapers produces thousands of papers within seconds. This is just a piece of paper. The De La Rue was just around here. Why can the Minister not produce that piece of paper and register Kenyans? view
