• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the youth are really wondering about the trend of sale of parastatals and other assets that this country acquired some time back. Could the Assistant Minister assure Kenyans here and now, that he will stop the sale of these parastatals with immediate effect now that we are going on with the budget process making? view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, incidentally, I want to support this amendment and say that it is not only old men that marry young girls; what we know in Kenya is that child marriages exist. It is something that, as Kenyans, we would not want to continue. So, if we have it in the Constitution, I think this will protect our young children who are married off at an age when they really need to be going to school. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support the amendment by hon. Ruto because when you look at Section 63(1), as it is written here, you will see that it does not take care of many constituencies in this country. For instance, when you talk about Migori with regard to land being given out according to ethnicity, we will create a lot of problems. I think the substitution of communities is not also very good because that is what caused us problems the other time. We should rather, as Mr. Ruto puts it, delete those sections and replace with what he ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment because the security of this country is paramount. I plead with my fellow Members of Parliament to take this issue seriously. Kenyans have given us the responsibility to write for them a Constitution. It has been cited here that the amendment of this Article may not need simple majority in Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that earlier on this morning, we talked about a similar Motion. While I support this Motion I also want to request that you put it to vote so that we can move on. ... view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although I have not received the written reply, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime and Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm to the House how Treasury plans to raise money for growing list of emergencies, given that the process of the sale of Consolidated Bank of Kenya has run into trouble after a group of investors moved to court to block it? (b) What stake does Treasury (together with the Deposit Protection Fund) own in the bank and what percentage has been earmarked for sale in the 2009/2010 ... view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although I have not received a copy of the written answer, I beg to ask Question No.1 by Private Notice. view

• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to mislead this House by quoting that it is God who created people to work hard? Actually, I think it is during Adam’s time that he should have quoted? view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer given by the Assistant Minister is more or less the same as an answer that had been given in this House last year. I would like to tell the Assistant Minister that at the moment, most of the small industries in Migori are suffering as a result of power failure or interruptions. Could he give us the timeframe within which this project will be implemented so that we can wait, bearing in mind that the problem will be solved? Otherwise, I take this just as an answer given by the Minister--- view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has just told this House that it is the President who appoints the chairmen of those boards. Could he tell this House what he has done to inform the Head of State that, that appointment has taken too long? view
