• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: allegations; we should admit allegations. Otherwise the Bill is timely. We need to appoint very many independent office holders, including Commissioners for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Review Commission. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I want to say that processes can be manipulated even when they are televised. When it is a panel interviewing, two people can collude and inflate the marks for one candidate. We need to put in this Bill that the report on how the interviews were conducted and the scores of all the interviewers must be in the public domain, so as to prevent manipulation. I know that in one or two places, there has been manipulation. We, therefore, need to improve on what we have. Therefore, I support the Bill with those proposals for amendment at the Committee Stage. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not received a copy of the written answer as of now but I am ready to hear one if there is. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) how much money the Government has allocated to each of the four districts in Kirinyaga County for the construction of district headquarters and District Commissioner’s residence; (b) whether the Government has posted Officers Commanding Police Departments (OCPDs) and District Criminal Investigation Officers (DCIOs) to serve the said districts and, if so, when they were posted to each of the districts; and, (c) whether the Government has supplied vehicles to the DCs, including administrative vehicles, in each of the districts. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to draw the Assistant Minister’s attention to the Constitution which prohibits discrimination and it is quite evident from his answer that Kirinyaga East is being discriminated against. I do not know whether it is because I am an abhorred critic of the Government yet my people are taxpayers. From the answer given Kirinyaga West represented by the Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development has been given Kshs30 million. I do not know whether the criteria is about who is representing it. Kirinyaga South, which was named only the other day, was given Kshs4 million. ... view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no need for a DC to be posted when he or she is not supported by way of infrastructure. Could the Assistant Minister tell us on what basis the decision to award monies to various districts and to fail to award any single cent to Kirinyaga was made and the reasons thereof and whether they are pursuing a deliberately discriminative policy even with the motor vehicles? I stand here to say that the motor vehicles for Kirinyaga East are as old as perhaps this House. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to begin by letting Kenyans know that these are not the KANU days when people were threatened with no development if they opposed the Government. I will continue opposing it and the people of Gichugu will get what is rightfully theirs. It is clear that it is a policy of discrimination the Government is pursuing. If it is the criteria the Assistant Minister is talking about then it is Kirinyaga South, which is new and there is no infrastructure that should have had the Kshs30 million allocated to. I want the Assistant Minister ... view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I asked a question! view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid the question by citing the stimulus projects which are in 210 constituencies in Kenya? Is he in order to avoid answering the discriminatory policy they are pursuing which is reminiscent of the KANU era? view
