• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Bahari has asked whether these pamphlets are real. The hon. Member has not denied that. So, I assume that they are real and they were authored by him. Mr. Mututho has asked a very pertinent question. Since I have laid these documents on the Table, I will refer to the hon. Member’s pamphlet on page nine. The problem of this co-operative society lies with money and nothing else. This is known. Whether it is Mbui-Kamiti or the other one mentioned by Mrs. Shabesh--- There is a part here which says; “mitambo mihuthire”. Since quite a number of Members are ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why I asked a friend of mine to translate for me what the pamphlets meant. I want him to confirm whether he is the author of this pamphlet. If you go through these pamphlets, you will find that it amounts to incitement which I do not want to go into now. I will direct my detective to check whether, indeed, it amounts to incitement. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also request the Chair to ask a translator to translate what is written in this pamphlet after the hon. Member admitting that he is the one who gave out the pamphlets. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I answer my good friend, the hon. Member, on Thursday 27th May, 2010, he held a meeting with about 150 youths at the BTL College Conference Hall in Ruiru. The information we received indicated that the same youths were paid Kshs500 each to cause mayhem. These are the same youths who were being blocked by the District Commissioner from entering the venue. We only expected members of the co-operative to go to the stadium. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: This is a very sensitive issue, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have also instructed the police to find out whether there is any evidence that the youths were paid Kshs500 each to disrupt the meeting at the stadium. I will get the report soon. With regard to the photos, it is not indicated anywhere whether it was at Uhuru Park, whether it was at Mombasa in 1992, whether it was wherever. I cannot admit that these are the photos taken at Githunguri Stadium. It is the discretion of the Chair to check whether this photo as you see it, indicates that it was taken at Githunguri stadium. ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I would also want to appeal to my honourable friend that matters related to co-operative societies must be left to co-operative society members. I have given you the background why there is a wrangle. The wrangle is because of the money; those who want to buy the second hand equipment for the UHT processing are on the Member’s side. There are those who do not want to spend Kshs150 million to buy a completely new UHT plant. Those are the fellows with Mr. Charles Mukora, who is the current chairman. I rest my case. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me also add my voice to this Bill which has been moved ably by the substantive Minister. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I agree that at times there are problems here and there but you know when you are condemning the whole Police Force just for the sake of doing so, I do not think it is right. This particular Bill, which I request Members of Parliament to pass today, will give us a new lease of life. We will be able to identify those who bring criminals within our system. Kenya is not the first country with this kind of Bill. You will agree with me that even America has this Bill. The courts decide what to do with those who ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if this Bill is passed, convicted criminals, after serving their jail terms will not come out and enjoy their loot. It is said here very clearly that once you have served your jail term, the proceeds from your loot will be sold. The Bill targets gangs, as my colleagues have also indicated, including human and drug traffickers. We are talking of corporate fraudsters, counterfeit currency printers, pirates, the Mungiki et cetera . However, we are hesitant to mention that we are going to target view
