• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my constituency, I have a district hospital and, for the first time, I want to say that the patients in my constituency and in the casualty waiting area can sit down and watch television. Things have improved, just but to touch a few. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, roads are being constructed and that is the effort of the President that we have today. If this Grand Coalition would have followed suit, and looked at the issues that concern the people of this country and work like the Government of the last five years, this country would be completely different. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Once again, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country is captive of three major issues. One of them is corruption, the other one is tribalism and the other one is lack of food. We are in a very serious situation because this country cannot feed its citizens! A lot has been said here. Every time we have shortage of food, the Government is very fast to raise funds to buy food. Those funds are in billions of shillings! view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the acreage that we have in Eastern Province alone, being a very fertile area, is enough to feed this country. If the water that flows through Tana River and Athi River can be contained and given to the farmers in this country and, more so, in Eastern Province, it would be good. First of all, to start with, that province alone is capable of feeding this country! view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also Central Province which has very hard working Kenyans! The only thing they lack is water. I would suggest to the Government that, instead of waiting to spend Kshs10 billion or Kshs15 billion or Kshs20 billion to give Kenyans relief food in the coming years, it is time now the Government should use those resources to get water to the people to do irrigation in this country. Rwanda and Burundi are smaller than Eastern Province by size and yet, we do not hear what we are facing in this country happening there. The ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On the issue of corruption, we are going on recess now. I want to ask the Government, through the concerned Ministry, to facilitate quickly and complete the investigations on the maize scandal in this country. We are going back to the public, who are going without food. They want to know exactly what has happened with the food in this country. What has happened with the maize that was bought with their money! They are the people who pay taxes outside there and yet, they cannot be given enough food. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I want to ask the person involved and, more so, Justice Ringera, to complete those investigations so that by the time we come back to this House, we want to know the people who are involved, so that they can be shown the door! President Kibaki should be given the names of those people in total and full commitment, so that he can show them the door. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The other day, he was asked to stop the bus and kick out the pick-pockets who were pretending to be conductors and yet, actually, they were pick-pocketing the passengers they are supposed to protect! So, we want the issue of corruption to be dealt with immediately and with all the seriousness! view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, tribalism in this country is a disease that will bring this country down. It will stop the development of this country! The reason I am saying that is because the other day, we were recalled to this House to come and set up a Parliamentary Select Committee that will be tasked with the issue of forming the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC). We had nine names here but, because of tribalism, everybody was trying to look at "who is going there to represent me? Who comes from my community? Who is his mother? Who, actually, ... view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also stand to make my contribution on this very important Motion. As a people of this country, my great concern is that we are raising issues to do with jobs which do not exist in this country. Discrimination and marginalisation is something that affects the whole country. I do not want to talk about specific areas. The whole Republic of Kenya is affected by this problem. What we should be raising here are not issues based on regional representation. view
