• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am okay with that request. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week, I requested the Chair, and the Chair agreed that a Ministerial Statement which had been sought on various matters by the Member for Makadara and which had not been answered ought to be answered. The Government side confirmed that it would be answered today. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the areas was public land in New Muthaiga. It had about six or seven aspects. That day, I had the whole paper and I read it through and I think the Clerks-at-the-Table have the Ministerial Statement. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just rose as a Member whose appetite for the information sought had been wetted. This is a Ministerial Statement that had been sought on 24th March, 2011. It was to be answered on 30th March, 2011 and we are now approaching the end of April. I remember the Minister for Lands saying that he was seeking information because the Statement was directed at him and he was present. He said that he had been waiting for information which he had received and was ready to deliver the Statement. The parcels of land included the international casino ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to make a Personal Statement, pursuant to Standing Order No.76. On Saturday, 23rd April, 2011, namely, the night of Saturday, which could also be the early morning of 24th April this year, the home of Emily Wanja, one of my key supporters and co-ordinators in Gichugu and the larger Kirinyaga County was attacked. Her house was broken into and she was brutalized. This is in Ngiriambu Sub-location of Gichugu Constituency, Kirinyaga East. On 26th March this year, at a public rally in Murang’a which was hosted by some of the Ocampo Six, certain utterances were ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one wonders, of all the homes in the area, how did they identify Emily’s home? Very few items were stolen. Her car was taken but was recovered the same night, meaning that the work of breaking grills et cetera could not have been just to rob a few personal items. This makes me fear not just for my safety, but for the safety of members of my family, my supporters and friends. I want to state that any harm that befalls any one of them, the first suspects should be those responsible for issuing the said threats. ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of this Bill. I notice that the Members have a great interest, which really, is something to appreciate, because having sound electorate system is of paramount importance to this country. If we really want to avoid what we went through, we must concentrate on bringing good electoral laws. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I want to mourn the fact that the Minister has brought only this Bill. The electoral laws should have come as a package, not just the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission law, but we are able to see the new electoral law and any other law that is related. But all is not lost; it ought to come in quick succession. We need to start asking ourselves; what is new in this Bill that was not in our earlier Bills? We had no Electoral Commission Bill, if I can remember because it was just coming from the Constitution. But what ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: No; not at this moment, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that I would be seeking to see whether everything about disputes resolution mechanism is there. We do not need to--- view
