• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the Prime Minister decides to come here and talk about any issue, as he has now decided to talk about the performance of Team Kenya in the Olympic Games, he must also be able to answer the questions that hon. Members are going to raise. Hon. Members have asked specific questions. We want to know who the joy riders were. We want to know the specific number of officials who were there. Is he in order to just say that he has spoken about joy riders? We want to know how much taxpayers’ money those joy ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to join the rest of my colleagues in sending my condolences to the family of Sheikh Rogo. I also want to condemn the killing. I also extend the condolences to those who have died in the unfolding violence. While it is bad to kill a clergy, it is also bad to kill a common man or woman. What we are seeing happens every day in other parts of the country, where common people are gunned down yet the Government does nothing about it. The Government has been sleeping on the job. What we are ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while the Assistant Minister has said that the website will continue functioning even after the elections, could he tell the nation how long Kenyans have to wait to get ID cards after they have registered because there are people who have been waiting for over two years? What is the mandatory period after which Kenyans should start agitating for the IDs, if they do not receive the documents after they have registered? view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Assistant Minister to defer answering my question which was very clear? What is the duration in which Kenyans should wait with the waiting documents before they start following up with the Ministry so that every time people register, they know that they have to wait for 14 days, one month or 20 months? Could the Assistant Minister tell the nation how long they should wait? view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Public Service:- (a) whether he is aware that some Ministries such as Trade, Industrialization and Energy in Mutito and Nzambani districts do not have departmental heads, (b) what measures he is taking to ensure that departmental heads for all Ministries are posted to the districts. view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is yet another example of how Government is insensitive to its citizenry. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like the Minister has said, the only officer of trade they have is not even in the county, he is in the regional office in Machakos. From Katundi area of Malani location of Mutitu District to Machakos, it is over 350 kilometres. Does he consider that reasonably enough for a trader to move all the way from Katundi for 350 kilometres to Machakos just to go and ask for these services or is the Government’s motto not to ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister should actually empathize with the people of the region that I am talking about because to get a driving licence, even for the boda boda, our people have to travel all the way to Machakos. To say that the people of Kitui County must wait until the rationalization of the county governments view
• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, while supporting this amendment, what hon. Murungi is raising now has already been taken care of under Clause 66. Moreover, I want to also inform my friend, hon. Githae, that, we as a Committee, visited the Congress and we sat with hon. Members of Congress of a similar committee of intelligence. They said the only oath they take is the oath which they take when they are sworn in as Members of Parliament, but they do not go through vetting. We were there a month ago. So, your position is actually misleading the House and I ... view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister address the real issues? The reason why he is not opening that bank is because of foreign forces. It is just because the former American ambassador said that the bank cannot be opened. It is not because of anything beyond that. The bank is very solvent. The money is there and the problem has nothing to do with the running of the bank. It is just because this Government is controlled by foreign powers. That is the reason why they are trying to intimidate an indigenous bank, so that the foreign banks can ... view
