• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with me is a letter from a Committee, which was appointed by none other than the hon. Prime Minister to investigate this scam of contaminated maize on 2d February, 2009. I want to table this letter. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. He has not responded to my clarification! view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister is doing his level best not to address the contents of this letter from the sub-committee. He has now started character-assassinating some of the people who were appointed to this sub-committee. You should not allow any hon. Member, under the privilege of this House, to intimidate civil servants. Prof. John Lonyangapuo a person I do not know, is a gallant son of this country. He has the guts to write such a report but there are many others who know what is happening but cannot talk because they fear being intimidated by politicians. That ... view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want the Prime Minister to give consent to this letter; that he is aware of this sub-committee and that these findings were brought to him and in view of the findings that he has contradicted here, would he consider, as the Prime Minister of the country, allowing an independent body of Kenyans to go and look at this matter further because it touches on the lives of Kenyans? view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Prime Minister in view of the various public and contradictory statements issued by various Government agencies concerning the contaminated maize, more so, yesterday’s statement from the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation – that, that poisonous maize could have found its way into the shops. More so, there are also leaders who have gone to the media, telling the public to be careful and to look out for that maize when they go to the shops. In view of those facts, I would ... view
• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am alive to the fact that a Question similar to this request has been raised. However, the urgency of my request has been caused by the fact that the Government has said that the maize is contaminated, and that it is already circulating in the market. People are dying. We want to know: Are they dying because of this maize? Are Kenyans safe to continue buying maize from shops? So, you will agree with me that next week is too far. I would request the Government to take this matter seriously ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on behalf of the hon. Member for Yatta to submit the following Question to the Prime Minister. I have not received a written answer as yet. Why did the Government decide that married couples should not work in various Government Departments or Authorities under the Ministry of Finance? view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Prime Minister for that comprehensive answer and more so for the directive that, that earlier directive was not the position of the Grand Coalition Government and therefore should be withdrawn. However, Mr. Prime Minister, Kenyans are suffering because of this Grand Coalition Government when you as a Principal and the President are not talking. Directives are being issued and then you come to the Floor of this House to direct that they be withdrawn. How will Kenyans know that this directive has not been agreed upon by part of the Government while ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had reserved the last remark, as the Questioner, as has been the practice of the House. If you allow me, I would want to--- view
