• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to support this Bill. I thank the Mover for taking his time to bring the necessary amendments to the Nursing Act. The role that nurses play in this country cannot be over-emphasized. Most of us who come from rural areas know that the dispensaries that we have at home are managed by nurses. With them around, lives are saved. It is not only that. To be a nurse is a calling. That is because unless you are prepared and your mind is set to help humanity, it is ... view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Mover to be asked to reply? view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek a clarification on part “c” of the Question which asks: “What steps is the Government taking to ensure that Kenyans are repatriated and tried in Kenyan courts?” What is the policy of the Government of Kenya in respect of all its citizens being tried in Kenya? There are some Kenyans who have been taken to The Hague and a part of the Government is seeking that those Kenyans be brought to Kenya for trial. Here, we are also seeking that other Kenyans who are in Uganda be brought to Kenya ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I support the Motion, I would like to bring to the attention of the House what I have also had an occasion to bring to the attention of the Speaker, the status of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The fact that we may reduce its membership will lead the Committee to face the hurdle of not being capable of meeting and processing many Bills. To date, that issue remains unresolved. Eight of the 11 Members of the Committee wrote to the Speaker, expressing lack of confidence in their Chairman. To date, ... view

• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: However, I will oppose the Motion for the following reasons. First, the Minister has given 30 per cent allocation for the importation of petroleum products. What is the capacity and capability of NOCK in terms of storage and petrol stations, so that they are able to reach the consumer? The main reason NOCK was formed, if my memory is correct, was to reach the remote areas, where the multinational companies could not take petroleum products. It was formed to contribute to areas where the big firms which have profit motives cannot go. So, if we have to support NOCK, then ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: The Minister is here and he should tell us whether NOCK was not contributing to crisis last month and this month, because of their inability to supply fuel. The Procurement Act is very clear. It has not been changed. He has no powers to disregard the provisions of the Procurement Act. It is very clear that there should be no discrimination. The Energy Act is also very clear. It provides for importation of petroleum through open tendering system. Therefore, if NOCK will remain in the market, it will contribute like other marketers. It should be able to contribute competitively like ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I do not mind if the Minister is coming up with a policy for NOCK to hold stock for six months or a year, for the strategic reasons for the nation. However, it is wrong for the Minister to use his position to allow a company which is competing for the market like any other company to import oil. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not talking about oil marketers. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I am not saying oil marketers have failed to meet what the nation requires. As far I am concerned, they are doing so. However, the issue here is price stability. The issue here is national storage for the products. The main reason why NOCK was formed was to provide petroleum products in remote areas of this country where marketers were not able to reach. That is why we have a crisis sometimes. If the Government wants NOCK to import 30 per cent of the fuel, I think there will be a crisis because they do not have the capacity to ... view
