• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was actually coming to that, if the hon. Member had been a little patient. Knowing him, and given the capacities he has been able to display, I will not be surprised if in another 20 years’ time, the hon. Member of Parliament for Garsen becomes the President of the Republic of Kenya. I wonder whether at that time, he would want, for instance, when he chairs--- view
• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he can always revise my timetable, but the point is this, on a very serious note: Imagine a situation where Cabinet meetings that have to deal with matters of national security have actually to be done in the full glare of television cameras. Is it not the case that, because of the nature of some of the business that comes before this House, sometimes we would want to have sittings of the National Assembly held in camera? I do not think we have come to that stage yet. Certainly, there is going to be a lot of ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. With your permission, I propose to donate four minutes of my time to the honorable Member for Ndaragwa, hon. Kioni, and another two minutes to the Member for Kangundo. I gather they have been standing for the last four consecutive days without catching Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker’s eye. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. In further exercise of my rights under Standing Order No.74, I would like to donate a further two minutes to the Minister for Special Programs, who has ably lobbied me to speak on IDPs. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Please, allow me to thank the more than 40 MPs who have contributed to this Motion dealing with the exposition of public policy contained in His Excellency the President’s Address when he opened the Third Session of the Tenth Parliament. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: A lot of contributions have really highlighted the plight of Kenyans who are living as refugees in their own country. I gave you the example the other day of people in Ol Kalou in one little settlement hosting over 17,000 Kenyans living in conditions that are clearly unhygienic. Until we are able to give decent quality life to those among our people who are living as refugees, we cannot, to that extent, claim to be truly doing well. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: On the other hand, MPs have really dwelt at length on the question of Kazi kwa view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: I think it is a wonderful programme that the President and the Prime Minister were able to initiate. I was able to join them on that particular day when we attempted to dig a dam in Kajiado and went to clean the Yatta Canal. But I think this Yatta Farrow is overworked because whatever people want to do, they want to use it. This was put up by Mau Mau freedom fighters, so many years ago. Since then, we have never been able to do one inch of a canal. This is time to be serious about irrigation. Without irrigation, ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: I can see hon. Kiuna here from Molo. I hope they are busy planting potatoes and food that we can, from my constituency, come and try to buy. We also want to have capacity right across the country where Kenyans can grow their own food through irrigation. Therefore, the important thing is to, really, go for irrigation. I want to suggest that if every Member of Parliament could have an irrigation scheme in his or her own constituency, we would be able to feed our people and get rid of the shame that has become our lot, year in, year ... view
• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek the Chair’s indulgence because, in moving this Motion, my very good friend and colleague, the hon. Professor, was not able to realise that the very first Procedural Motion that this House adopted was that the Mover was entitled to 20 minutes for moving and 20 minutes for replying. view
