• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am advised by you, but I want to say that for the future, this country may want to consider a justice and reconciliation commission to really deal with corruption instead of us castrating the anti-corruption law.

• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want, in supporting the Attorney-General, to state as follows: If we delete Sections 26, 27 and 28 of this anti-corruption law, we are in essence killing the soul of the anti-corruption law. As hon. Karua said, it will be tantamount to repealing the law. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although there is apparent jubilation in Parliament today, this is a very sad moment for our anti-corruption efforts. This morning, there was a Motion that was fronted by an hon. Member of the Opposition in which the Government was being accused of not following its ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I conclude, and I do not want to be intimidated, I want to state that I have been a student of corruption. One of the first books that I wrote with colleagues was the " Anatomy of Corruption inKenya," which almost led, actually, to my own physical death. I know that, the world over, the jurisprudence is that where public officials have unexpected wealth, before anti-corruption commissions, they can show how they came to gain that wealth. If these three sections are defeated--- Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not want to talk ... view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Regarding how much funds have been set aside for implementing the Ndung'u Report, there is a joint programme between the Ministry of Lands, Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission and the Attorney-Generals' Office in terms of developing the modus operandi of operationalising the Ndung'u Report. This is in terms of what would be the necessary law to do that. That is something that we have, together, taken on board and, indeed, we are developing a Paper for the Cabinet. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, regarding how much money has ... view

• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member was informed by some of the people that he works with at the constituency, indeed, on 26 January, 2007, several people were arrested because they were undertaking illegal charcoal burning. Those people were taken to court and on 29th January. They were convicted and placed on community service orders. Therefore, those people were properly processed because, contrary to the law, they were actually cutting down the forest. The hon. Member should help the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to ensure that forests are protected. view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that the hon. Member helps us in this matter. We have arrested people who were destroying forests and engaged in illegal charcoal burning. They were taken to court and were found guilty. They are still complaining that they should be allowed to reap forest products. They should follow the law. They should not do so in an illegal way. view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is correct that there is a new Kenya Forest Service, which is in the process of finalising regulations that will pave the way for the establishment of community associations. Those associations will, in a legal and sustainable way, make use of forest products. view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make a statement regarding charges that the Acting Minister for Lands has incited local residents to invade farms around Emali/Kibwezi District.
