• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you remember, as a prelude to the entry of the Ethiopian security forces into Somalia, late last year, the Kenya Government stopped all flights into and out of Somalia. You remember that during that period, they never gave opportunity to Kenyans who were in Somalia to evacuate because by inference and by all the conducts by this Government, they were party to what Ethiopians were doing or were to do in Somalia. Why is the Kenya Government not coming out with a policy about Kenyans who may have been picked genuinely in Somalia and yet, ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a portion of this road actually passes across my constituency. The Assistant Minister says he has finished with design work. What is the specific time frame or period - is it this financial year or the next financial year which starts on the 1st of July - within which the Ministry intends to actually advertise for the construction of this road? view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) whether he is aware that erection of bumps on classified roads contravenes the International Highway Code; (b) whether he could order the immediate removal of bumps on all Class "A", "B", and "C" roads as they are a danger to the motorists and cause damage to motor vehicles; and, (c) whether he could further ensure that proper signs and signals are the only acceptable mode of controlling vehicular traffic in the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not received a written answer for this Question. The answer that he has ... view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me on how outrageous that kind of answer is. The Assistant Minister is not aware of our National Highway Code. He is taking advantage of the typographical error which indicates the International Highway Code. But our National Highway Code prohibits the erection of those obstructions on our highways. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he says that those bumps were erected due to safety concerns. Some few months ago, we had a problem. Mr. Poghisio and I ran over a bump and the car spun six times. Less than ten days ago, His Excellency ... view

• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Assistant Minister and the officials who are helping him to answer the Question have been to every corner of the world. Whether it is North America, Europe or China, there is nowhere else where they use these barbaric and uncivilised "objects" on roads. I would like to give him an example. If you drive from the Embu-Makutano to Maua, it is a distance of 200 kilometres and they have erected 128 bumps. view
• 10 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you are on this road with a vehicle and you are not supposed to speed, why can the Assistant Minister not ask motorists who do not want to speed to use the bush instead of the road? We have destroyed the road! view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you followed the Assistant Minister's response, you must have heard him say that he wants to consult. He said that the relevant Ministry will answer the Question and, now, he says that he will answer the Question next week. 336 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 4, 2007 Which is which? view
