• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: 1304 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 13, 2006 Mr. Speaker, Sir, we already have an example from hon. Members of this House who were previously Ministers of this Government; two very senior hon. Members from my own community resigned from their Ministerial positions to pave way for investigations to be carried out when they were implicated in the Anglo Leasing Scandal. Therefore, I wish to encourage the Minister of State for Internal Security and the Minister for Immigration to step aside to allow investigations into the matter. view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: The two Ministers are friends of mine. I think it is important that the investigations should be carried out without them being in office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, another very serious issue that Maj-Gen. Nkaissery has just mentioned is that, you should not deport a criminal before he is charged in a court of law. It is only after the determination of the criminal charges that one is either acquitted or convicted and, subsequently, deported. On what basis were the two Armenian brothers deported? Why were they deported instead of them being charged under our laws? Why have people like Kamau, ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. As hon. Wamwere has said, the institutions that we have set up in this country, do not seem to be effective. We, in Parliament, must stand up to be counted against this evil of corruption. There are so many national institutions that have progressively in the last 30 years collapsed, not because they could not function properly, but because they were "killed" by corruption. A lot of our people have been impoverished. Many have lost jobs. The economy has suffered simply because we allowed corruption to get into the roots ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: If we do not trust our security agencies and administrators, who are we going to trust? Who is watching over Kenya today? Is it the Ministers, the police or the army? We are exposed! It is corruption that has exposed us. We must stand up and say: "No!" While we accept that we are very much exposed in all ways, I would like to remind the Ministries concerned that our police and security agencies require to be properly equipped. It is not possible to fight corruption without the tools to do it. For example, whether the issue of forensic laboratories ... view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Sambu, you should be allowed to continue without any interruptions. Proceed! view

• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am not a lawyer but in our legal system, the burden of proof is always on the complainant. It seems that we have changed that principle in this particular Bill. We need to be aware that now, the burden of proof has been transferred from the complainant to the accused. If that is acceptable to the House, I have no problem. But I do not think that we can pick up just one specific law and change the basic principle. For that reason, I support the amendment. In fact, Clause 29 touches on the ... view
