• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I thank the President for highlighting Government policy in his Speech. However, there are some fundamental things which lack in the Speech. I do not think I will blame the President for that but the Speech writers. The President’s speech writers do not have the pastoralists in their hearts. There was no mention of the suffering of the pastoralists in the Presidential Address. Last year, and the whole country is aware, pastoralists lost between 70 and 80 per cent of their livestock, and yet there was not even a mitigating statement in that Address that could give hope and courage ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Members of Parliament, to fight the dragon called “corruption”. Dragons fight back. We have a tendency, as a Government, to sacrifice people who are not responsible for corruption. We have a tendency of going for the blood of the innocent and leaving the real culprits outside the dragnet. It is, therefore, important for this House, especially now that we are debating this very important Speech, to send a very strong message that Kenya is not a country of corrupt people. We cannot have thieves becoming the heroes of this country just because of their looted wealth. We have to fight ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yesterday I opposed this Motion, but since it has been amended, I now support it. We just need transparency and accountability. Thank you. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: THAT, pursuant to Section 4A of the Public Roads Toll Act (Cap.407 of the Laws of Kenya) this House approves Sessional Paper No.4 of 2009 on the Nairobi Urban Toll Road Concession Project laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 8th December, 2009, together with the proposed Concession Agreement and Tolling Regime annexed thereto. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important motion. This recess is well deserved. This House has performed, and it is the right time for us to go to our constituencies to ensure that what we actually decide in this House is implemented. I just want to make very important remarks on four issues. The first issue is about security; this country is under threat if organized crime is allowed to take root. I am so happy that this House passed a Bill on money laundering. It is important, as it ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that Wednesday, at 3.00 p.m. is designated the Prime Minister’s Time to make a statement or answer Questions. But when you look at today’s Order Paper, there is nothing which demands that he either makes a statement or answer a Question. It is very important for the hon. Members to follow what is on the Order Paper. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very brilliant idea from the Ministry of Roads. There are several advantages with regard to this proposal of decongesting the city and also reduction of time spent on our roads. However, there are very glaring shortcomings in this Paper. This is just like a single sourcing. We have been talking about transparency and accountability. When you look at a situation like this one to which you are going to commit a country, you have to look at the future. When you look at this case, you just see a single company. That ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am elected by the people of Kajiado to represent them with regard to the resources of this country. I have not even said that I am opposing this Motion. I just said that there are glaring shortcomings in this Paper. There was no proper tendering and that is a fact, unless we were shown the companies that applied for the tender and the winner. According to information which has just come out, this company is not registered in this country. That is another shortcoming. We have not been shown the agreement between the Kenya ... view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
