• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed as it has been said, this matter is very serious because it involves an Ambassador of another country. Has he tried to seek for international co-operation the way it happened when there was a grenade explosion in Eastleigh Estate? This country sought for assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) immediately. Has he sought assistance from the FBI or any other foreign investigating body so that this matter can be investigated with speed and the transparency it deserves? view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. It is very important to support this issue because it recurs after every two or three years or shorter than that. In 2009, this country had one of the worst droughts in its history. We ran short of food and we had to import a lot of it. A year later, there was over production of food, mainly grains. Eastern Province led in the production of food. There were good rains there after the drought, but the Government was not prepared to buy that maize. ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Prime Minister for the Statement, I would like him to let us know what is causing the upsurge in terrorism in this region. What extra precautionary measures has the Government taken to protect civilians from unnecessary attack like providing metal detectors to all bus companies to screen the passengers and their luggage before boarding their buses? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not finish because I ran out of time. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just for the benefit of those who were not here, I made reference to chapters 102, 103, 104 and 105 of the Report. In those chapters, it is stated that one of the possible reasons for the killing of Dr. Ouko was to do with his foreign trips. One of the foreign trips mentioned was the one to the United Kingdom (UK). I said that I was the ambassador at the time and all that was said there was definitely not true. If you look at the source of that formation on another page, it says ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason I am able to interrogate this Report is that my name is mentioned on page 42. It talks of things as if they were facts when they are not. As I explained last time, this could not have been possible. It would not have been possible for the British Government to invite the Minister for Industry directly. That did not happen. The invitation was issued by the Kenyan High Commission. We discussed it with the East African Association (EAA) and the CBI. It was, in fact, my idea that he should come to London. ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute in support of this Motion of adjournment. I would like to say from the outset that this Parliament has done beyond expectations. Many Kenyans thought we were not going to pass the Bills which we have passed today. We have appointed the Members of three commissions; namely, the view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: I am winding up, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Minister has promised that by the end of this month, all Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) will have been settled. We stand to see that action being taken. Thank you. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am informed by the Member that he has had a conversation with hon. Magerer, who has agreed to defer this Question. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it can be deferred to the next sitting because he is apparently out of town over something important, which is only effective today. view
