• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to say that as we promulgate the new Constitution on Friday, it will be time for appointing a head of the Police Service who will be head of both Administration Police and the regular police. Let the appointments not be business as usual. If those leading now cannot lead reforms, then it will be time to go home. If people cannot show that they can lead the way forward so that other people feel that the police are their friends and protectors--- What is the criteria of choosing the 30 districts where headquarters ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since it has been established that it is a British Army vehicle, even before you identify the driver, have you asked the officer commanding that British Battalion to take responsibility? It is him who must identify which of his officers and which vehicle was involved in the accident. What are the terms of agreement between Kenya and the British when they commit offences on our soil? view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid the question on whether he has been in touch with the officer commanding that particular British Battalion and whether they have taken responsibility including responsibility to identify the vehicle and the driver? view
• 17 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
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer is curious because the Attorney- General gives the excuse for not prosecuting as the recommendations of an annual general meeting. If we were to go that way, no thief would ever be caught. All we would need is an annual general meeting approving theft. Could the Attorney-General tell the House how many persons were recommended for prosecution by the KACC report under reference, and why was the matter turned civil when clearly it was a criminal matter? view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Consultations are so loud that we cannot hear the answer of the Attorney-General. view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that this is one of the worst mismanaged SACCOs and the largest, receiving more than Kshs500 million per month from its membership. What action is the Attorney-General taking or has he taken, noting that at the time this file was passed on to him, Mwaliko and others were actually Commissioners inquiring into the affairs of Harambee SACCO and receiving honorarium from the body they were investigating. What action did the attorney-General take in respect to conflict of interest or any other offence revealed? Could he table the minutes of the meeting that approved these ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what the Attorney-General has said. However, my last question related to the apparent commission of a criminal offence; that is, conflict of interest where an investigator received money from the person being investigated. These are the details which make us ask for the minutes of the meeting, and which require the Attorney-General to take serious consideration of the Question and then make a full answer to the House. It is not about who reported. It is about the action taken by the Attorney-General upon his realising that a criminal offence had been committed. We ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to begin by commending the Ministry for providing this critical service to Kenyans. But now that we have passed the new Constitution, distribution of resources will have to be equitable by law. Equitable does not mean that it has to be the same everywhere. Places with special needs will have to be considered but the total outlook must be that each area must get their share of the resources. I want to urge the Minister to direct her eyes on the issue of governance of the water organizations and the regulator ... view
