• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Therefore, I wish all of you well and God’s blessing. Even on the issues that we could not be able to agree, I am sure that when we come back, we will all have freshness of approach and we will make progress. After all, we reported progress this afternoon to the House. With those remarks, I beg to move and ask the first Deputy Leader of Government Business who is also the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, hon. Musalia Mudavadi, to kindly second this Motion. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity to make a very brief Statement. From the outset, allow me to salute hon. Members for the dedication and zeal demonstrated in the collective quest to fulfill legitimate obligation since the House was recalled on 14th of February this year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you consulted with the Executive and it was found necessary to have this Special Session. We have made absolutely good use of the same. At the level of view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for protecting me from my good friend; the Member for Belgut. It is so amazing that sometimes you need protection from friends and this is what is happening. I want to be very brief so that he does not have the opportunity. Let me thank him and all of us for what we have done so far. In the event that the Motion is moved and Members do not want to agree with us, of course, we will meet next Tuesday and be able to schedule further business for the House. I thank you. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I asked for the Floor in order to clarify the perception that the Government would have any hidden agenda over this matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that on a spur, the Cabinet did meet over this Bill and I know that my learned friend, hon. Orengo, is ready to move. But I am also aware that land is so emotive that we would rather listen. Therefore, the Cabinet is prepared to listen. I want to confirm that I have issued a four-line whip today. The moment for reckoning is now because the country is ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. He can inform me; he is my neighbour. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I should have began my presentation by joining the Deputy Leader of Government Business in apologizing profusely to this House for what happened this morning. That is basically because of what happened; the death of the late hon. John Michuki. I was chairing a funeral committee at exactly 9.00 a.m. this morning. There are no hidden agendas over this matter. Therefore, if we can let the bygones be bygones with regard to what happened this morning, where the Front Bench was not looking so good, we owe it to this country. We want to offer an ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for affording me this opportunity to join with you and this august House and the whole country in mourning the departure of one of us, who has illustrated to all and sundry that we can have straight leaders. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: This morning I joined the international community at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) where Minister John Michuki was supposed to be the host to over 100 of his colleague Ministers for Environment from all over the world, gathering at the special Governing Council as they prepare to go for what they have termed as Rio Plus 20. It will be recalled that in 1992, the world gathered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for what then was the Earth Summit. Therefore, the preparatory session for Rio Plus 20 is taking place as I speak to you. This morning, the international ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I mentioned that the last major Ministerial function that Minister John attended was in Durban where he elaborated Kenya’s position so well mainly on this matter of the environment that the polluters have actually to pay for the consequences of global warming. Soon after that he was taken ill and he went to London. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have known Minister John Michuki for a considerably long period of time. I know him as a very straightforward leader. I think the greatest tribute we can pay to Minister John is to emulate his example. If he believed in something, he stood clearly and said so. When it was time to say that the end had come for the matatu menace in terms of disorder, we all know what happened. The results were the “Michuki Rules.” Even when he dealt with issues that were controversial, he never shied away from taking his position and elaborating ... view
