• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is acceptable because the Deputy Speaker was assuming that he was on the Chair. However, my point of order is that the Deputy Speaker has made a claim that the Luhyas are now the community with the highest population. Where did those figures come from? Could he substantiate or withdraw? This is going to bring a problem when hon. Members, who are responsible leaders, stand here and make allegations which they cannot substantiate. view

Unajua jambo la dini hushika watu sana. Je, Bw. Haji anaweza kueleza ni watu gani wanaleta uhasama? Ikiwa hawapo, basi Bw. Haji akanushe matamshi yake ili tuendelee na mjadala huu. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of Order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realise the anxiety of the Members of Parliament wanting to contribute to this historic debate. We have been painstakingly standing up and down to catch the eye of the Speaker. Would I be in order to request my colleagues that we confine ourselves to five minutes so that all Members can get an opportunity to contribute to this Motion? view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this historic debate. I stand here, to support, in principle, a new constitution for this country. This new constitution comes with progressive laws view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue which needs to be amended is the issue of freedom or Bill of Rights, where we talk about freedom to access State information. As hon. Members of Parliament, where are we talking this country? Are we not exposing our own country? Where on earth has a State ever opened its secrets to outsiders? I want to agree with those who are saying that we need to amend this draft Constitution. It will be cowardice and myopic on our part to say that we cannot raise the 65 per cent threshold that we need ... view

• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to contradict the Head of Public Service who issued a directive saying that 25 per cent of employees in every Ministry should not belong to one community yet they are coming from the same Government? view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Prime Minister is aware that one of the problems we have in the constituencies is from the Ministry of Public Works. For instance, to construct a classroom that would cost the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) between Kshs200,000 and Kshs300,000 under the ESP, the Ministry of Public Works gave an estimate of Kshs1.4 million. A good example is Belgut Constituency, where the area Member of Parliament, together with the District Education Board (DEB), had to intervene to have such estimates stopped. What is the Prime Minister doing to ensure that officers from ... view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm that this is not the first time that the same trader has been found holding ammunition illegally? What action was taken against him last time he was caught with a cache of arms? view
