• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My last question was very clear. I started with a list of those in the camps, and I ended up with a question on integrated. I clearly said that in the camps, there are still IDPs at Kikopey, Maela, Ol Kalou, Mawingu, Kasuku, Burnt Forest and then I went to the integrated. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the question I posed to the Minister who is responsible. But I know for a fact that the camp at Mawingu - and the Member for Ol Kalou is here - Kikopey and Maai Mahiu. The reason I am asking for how many more is because as we pass those places, we are able to see there are more IDP camps than the Minister is saying here. It is her responsibility to take a tour and give us the numbers. I cannot, as a Member, have that responsibility. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Motion. I want to say that the consultation and the four steps that we made have proved that Parliament can no longer be taken for granted. In line with the new Constitution, we better learn to consult and consult early, to avoid aggravating Members the way it happened this time. It is our duty now to move with speed and start implementing the Constitution to ensure that Kenyans reap benefits. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of this Bill, but subject to some amendments which I will be proposing. I think the overhaul of the tea industry is long overdue. I want to congratulate the Minister for tabling this Bill. Once it is in the House, it is the property of the House and it is up to us, and I am glad hon. Members are already doing that, to make suggestions on how we can strengthen this Bill so that it carries the aspirations of the farmers. The speaker who was before me has properly diagnosed ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is noted on the postmortem form that the accused had an injury caused by a blunt object. Since he was in custody, are the police taking responsibility for the injuries that the deceased suffered and which contributed to the cause of death? Has any action been taken against the officers involved? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to ask the House to believe that the police account is correct, when he knows that recently, 14 people were found dead in Kinale Forest, some of whom disappeared while in police custody? In those circumstances, is he in order to ask us to believe the police story? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take the Assistant Minister seriously with his answer of upholding the right to life. I want to remind him that it is estimated that about 2,000 young men from the Mount Kenya region have lost their lives through extra-judicial killings by the police. In view of his answer that injuries were found on the bodies of the four and as the relatives buried them the other day, it is clear that they had all been in police custody shortly before they met their deaths. Could he check with the Kikuyu Police Station and ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the Assistant Minister is not satisfying the House with his answer. I am requesting your direction. Would it be in order to ask the Parliamentary Committee on Security to investigate this matter, so that the House may get to the bottom of this case and other unexplained killings? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one answer by the Assistant Minister has disturbed me; asking that the complainants report to the police. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: A report by an hon. Member to this House is an official report and there is no legal requirement that one reports to the police after it has reached the House. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that he will now cause internal investigations to go on following the matter which has now been formally raised in this House by an hon. Member? view
