• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the request by the hon. Member for Yatta. I thought he would have started by thanking the Minister responsible for bringing normalcy to the Prisons Service. view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was very tricky because all the six issues which he has actually raised - uniforms, mandatory deductions-- Yes, that will be subject to investigation by the Committee that I have set up, including irregular promotions and Prison Service allowances. I have been able to address that. That is what is called risk allowance. But we thought we should make it specific to the Prisons Service-- view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am actually responding right away. I think it is important to do so now because this matter is current. I have been dealing with it for the last two days. I am in charge of--- I am in a position to respond immediately! That is what I am doing. view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter of decent housing will also be addressed. Indeed, I saw for myself a very unacceptable situation when I visited Thika Prison. So, indeed, I want to inform the hon. Member for Yatta that one of the things I discovered, to my horror, is that, out of the remandees in Thika Prison, 60 per cent of them were from Matuu, which is in his constituency! It looks like there is an attempt--- Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is having his own constituency, perhaps, victimised by a police officer who wants to act not in his ... view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Yatta who raised this matter has sought clarification over two issues. The first one, and I think that is what the Member for Imenti Central, hon. Imanyara, has sought to deal with, is the matter of officers who were actually charged yesterday afternoon. In trying to answer a question by the BBC correspondent, she even put it better than the hon. Member. She sought to know why we should punish whistle blowers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my response to the question I hope my hon. colleagues here will appreciate that under Chapter 90, ... view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members who are willing can come along with me on Monday at 10.00 a.m., so that we can all inspect this house. Perhaps, it might also be useful to some of our constituents in the various constituencies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I have dealt with this matter. It is a serious issue, and I thank God that the prison officers have called off the strike. I hope hon. Members will also appreciate that when dealing with members of the armed forces, men and women carrying arms, you really cannot play around with national security. This is why some ... view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as soon as I leave this Chamber I will try to establish from the Minister of State for Provincial Adminstration and Internal Security the actual position with regard to the request for a Ministerial Statement by the Member of Parliament for Turkana Central. view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may not give that assurance; the best I can do is to communicate the fact of this delay to the Minister. view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I give that assurance, because I am unable at this stage to know the content of the request by which it was demanded. However, I want to assure this House that before the end of this week, whatever and however serious the content, the Minister responsible will have responded. view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was hesitating because you were still on your feet and I am supposed to freeze or sit down. Now that you are comfortably seated, I want, on behalf of the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources, to give a very brief response. I have spoken to the Minister, Mr. Michuki, who is still settling in his office, but fortunately for him, I am the one who established his office at the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Building. When I was the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, I dealt with this matter of the menace ... view
