• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Ng’etich was a new employee. Considering that he was employed in September, 2009, he had hardly worked for a year. He seems to have joined a cartel, with the 13 people who were sacked at the same time. The earlier New KCC got rid of people who manipulate figures and cause losses to the company, the better. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not true that people are sacked on flimsy grounds. Before you become a grand thief, you start as a petty thief. This person started as a petty thief. He had hardly stayed at the company, but he had already joined a bad company. If you add this Kshs18,000 to what other salesmen had stolen, it amount to a lot of loss. It is a pity that this man was not even stealing the money, but he was only manipulating figures. He used to take stocks from the store, sell them, come back and say ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are cheating ourselves in this House. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me use another word. I think we are misinforming ourselves in this House when we say that Assistant Ministers sit in the Cabinet. We do not sit in the Cabinet. I was a Minister and sat in the Cabinet. I wish today we are given the Floor of this House even if we are Assisting Ministers to talk about cattle rustling because it affects the very people we represent. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to call our constituencies little communities? We are talking about the lives of our people. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister implying that Members of Parliament from communities which are affected by cattle- rustling do not take the issue seriously? You have already seen it on the Floor of the House. We were ready to break the rules of being partisan to the Government so as to address the issues of our communities. The hon. Minister is now saying that we are not taking it seriously. Is he in order? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate the Committee that did this work. However, there are a few areas which I feel they did not capture. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, cattle rustling is a cultural practice and to change people’s culture, they need to be taught new ways of life. I expected that in their recommendation they would have asked the Government to send more community social workers to those communities. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issues that I feel were not captured are to do with early marriages and female genital mutilation. Once girls are circumcised, men are ready to marry them and resulting from that is the issue of dowry. To afford dowry, men have to raid neighbouring communities. So, for these people to change this aspect of life, we need community social workers. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I once went to Israel and found that the descendants of Jethro are the ones who give more security because of their ability or character. Some of the recommendations could be that when they are recruiting people into the armed forces, more should come from those communities because they are good. But what happens is that when they are recruiting people into the armed forces, they take more people from the densely populated areas and just post one or two to those areas. In the Ninth Parliament many street children, both boys and girls, were ... view
