• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Members have spent sometime about the bashes or rather the parties that were hosted by both the Prime Minister and the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, and the party I lead, NARC-K. I want to say that we are not in the same category. Parliament is here to scrutinise public spending. Anything to do with parties is for the Registrar of Political Parties. But I want to happily tell the Members who have been requesting, asking me why I did not invite them that there was a general invitation to the public. It was quite ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathise with my colleague who may not have extensive command, on this occasion, of the English language. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: I also modified and said throwing parties. I hope that my colleague now understands. So, I do not think that it is in the province of Parliament to wonder how those who came to the NARC-K party paid or how we got there. We are definitely not a party in Government although some of our members remain in Government. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Having said so, I want to say that it is time they remained with the express permission of the party. I want to remind the Government that with the new Constitution, the Government must move speedily to complete the resettlement of IDPs. Otherwise, they will attract civil suits. The IDPs have been out there in the cold for the last three years. How can they celebrate a new Kenya? How can they enjoy the Second Republic, when they are out in the cold? view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to remind the House that the guiding principles of the new constitution are participation by the people, and to lament that political parties view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: were not given their space in the celebrations at Uhuru Park. We requested for special space for leaders of political parties in Parliament and cards to invite our top brass. I saw people in Government and those who associate with Government, little known people, inviting their whole family. We do not mind because they are Kenyans, but we are saying the new move with the new Constitution is participation for all, and creating space and room for everyone. It is Kenyans who voted and brought the Constitution for themselves. We were all entitled to celebrate, including those in Government and ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to say that I sympathise with those who were given a robust feedback by the people at Uhuru Park. I would not myself encourage such, but Kenyans are also entitled to their opinion. Perhaps, one should take a little time, reflect and wonder why there was that robust feedback. It was not something given to everybody. Finally, the census results are here. Yes, some districts’ results have been cancelled. I urge hon. Members that, as leaders, let us carefully analyze the data so that where we disagree with the Government we are able ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Attorney General what action he has taken on the Harambee Sacco Society investigation file forwarded to him by the Kenya Anti- corruption Commission (KACC) on 12th August, 2003. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your direction whether this Question should be answered together with Question No.008, which was referred by the Chair to the Attorney-General. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We appreciate the Attorney- General’s answer, but the consultations are very loud. For example, we did not hear who declined to audit. May I request that you protect the Attorney-General so that we are able to hear the answer? view
