• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of any politician going to announce about certain areas being in his constituency. I have said that there is a dispute because of the creation of new districts. Until we resolve that, there will be a bit of disagreement. It is important that we do not politicise small disputes like this one. However, I am prepared to take the list from the hon. Member for Bahari and investigate it. If anything is found, we will deal with it. 1098 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 3, 2007 view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take the advice of the former PC and call this a big problem that we will deal with. view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that on 22nd April, 2007, at about 1300 hours Allan Inganga Ashiali in the company of other boys went to a disused quarry within Kayole, which was filled with rain water, to swim. He, unfortunately, drowned. His parents sought the help of one David Ochieng to try and retrieve Allan's body. Unfortunately, David also drowned. (b) The Government airlifted Kenya Navy divers from Mombasa on Thursday, 26th April, 2007, and they were able to retrieve the bodies of Allan Inganga and David Ochieng by 27th April, 2007. The ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to admit that there was undue delay in getting the divers from Mombasa to come and help in retrieving the bodies. We are going to investigate. In fact, we are investigating to find out why this happened because they should have been there in the shortest time possible. So, once we investigate, we will take the necessary action. view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to tell my friend that sometimes, if people insist on committing suicide, the Government may not be able to guard them. If you cannot jump into a quarry, you will jump into the nearest river or get the nearest tree to hang yourself. However, I have already explained that in this particular instance, the quarry is fenced but vandals always go and remove the fence and steal it. Even now, it has been fenced again and we are not sure whether vandals will not come again. We are sensitising the public to avoid ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will advise the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) to go around advising property owners who have quarries to do that very important thing of filling them and planting trees. However, this particular one is used occasionally by the Department of Defence (DoD) which owns it. It is in the middle of that area and it is fenced. view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have taken the sentiments that the hon. Member for Khwisero has raised very seriously. We will take his views when we re-formulate our policy on disaster preparedness. GOVERNMENT'S COMPLIANCE WITH PROCUREMENT/ANTI-CORRUPTION ACTS view

• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, following information that high profile terrorist suspects were being housed by one Ibrahim Oubeidila, who was also alleged to be the Imam of Musa Mosque, a search was conducted at the premises by police in accordance with Section 20 of the Police Act, Cap.84, Laws of Kenya, which gives the police power to conduct searches without a warrant. Following the search, 11 people were arrested, out of which ten were found to be Kenyans with proper identification documents and were released immediately. The 11th person, who was alleged to be an Imam, was later on discovered ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already indicated that investigations have been done and it has been confirmed that this particular individual is not a Kenyan. He had a Kenyan Identity Card which had been acquired fraudulently through false declaration. We have established where he comes from, even his village, his relatives; we have established everything! view
