• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is collective responsibility in the Government. Half of the Ministerial Statements sought related to the status of the land in question which is Government land. The companies and names of the persons who have grabbed that land are there. Three of them are said to be sitting Cabinet Ministers. In view of the Minister of Lands stating clearly that he has the information and using the doctrine of collective responsibility, can the part of the ownership be given to him while we wait for the security related part to be given ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if he heard me correctly I said: “In the evidence, it appears that three…” that did come out in the request for the Statement. However, because as Members we do not have possession of Government records, the good Minister is here and I can see him holding a folder--- view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the position is this; when there are powerful individuals being protected, we have noticed that certain Ministers just absent themselves. I am pleading on behalf of this House and on behalf of the nation that once this half is given, it will actually compel the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to come running. You may not have to issue sanctions because before the end of the Statement they may very well surface in the House to issue an alternative rejoinder. This Minister who has graciously come to the House stated that he had ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a unique case where you will assist the House and the nation so that people stop hiding by being absent. Let us know the truth once and for all. I see an envelope. view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of the failure by the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to notify the House or come and give a Statement, knowing very well that the Statement was urgent in view of security implications, what sanctions – because normally you do issue sanctions – do you give to this Ministry to serve as a lesson to those in Government; that when the House has a date with them and is expecting information, it must be delivered? Otherwise, this House will be trivialized? view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very clear case of subversion of the cause of justice. In December, 2007, the court orders investigations into the missing file and also orders that the land should not be transferred to anyone. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the meantime, this land is subdivided into 17 parcels and no investigations are done until the Question is asked to Parliament. What action is the Assistant Minister taking against the officers who delayed the investigations for three years and against any land official who may have been involved in the subdivision and transfer of this land. Otherwise, we shall undermine the rule of law in this country. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are happy that the Assistant Minister has given firm assurance that arrests will be made today. Is it, therefore, in order for me to request that the Question be deferred to next week when he will have a fuller explanation to the House? That is, when the arrest will have been made because the question is complaining about action not being taken for too long. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister will agree with me that it is the duty of his Ministry to issue ID cards. The applications were made in April. That is over six months ago and the dates for reapplying were only given this month, I suppose after the Question had already been submitted to Parliament. Could the Minister assure this House by which date the process will have been completed so that those individuals can either get their IDs or be told the reasons why they cannot get them? That is because that delay is not good. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the sensitivity of this matter - it is two ways, if it is not being wound up, it will be hurtful for investment. If it is being wound up, it is hurtful for Kenyans. There is collective responsibility in the Government. The Registry is still at Sheria House. The Attorney- General may be abroad, but the Registry is in Kenya. Would I be in order to ask the Deputy Leader of Government Business to have this Statement responded to on Tuesday, next week? view
