• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The consultations are so loud that I can hardly hear what the Assistant Minister is saying. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that very comprehensive answer and for the action taken so far. What is he doing about threats issued by the same prominent politicians, to the effect that voters will not be registered in Murinduko South Ngariama Ranch area? Secondly, what is he doing to ensure that there will be security tomorrow, when the burial of the four people who were murdered will be taking place? view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is regrettable that this matter is being trivialised. I do not think according to our Standing Orders, the media can selectively use photos of Members of Parliament and selectively use parts of their bodies to sensationalize their reporting. Next time, we do not know whether it will be the mirrors that they will drop as we pass as schoolboys used to do. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. It is about the dignity of this House and its Members. I think that it is a matter that deserves your direction. We appeal to our colleagues in Parliament, both male and female, to take the matter seriously. This can get a little bit far. The privilege of reporting in the House carries the responsibility with it. This is the responsibility that is not being shown in this photo. We crave for your directions in the matter. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that the end of the financial year is beckoning and this was a project for this financial year, can the Minister tell the House exactly when he is going to finish these consultations and whether they will include the relevant Parliamentary committee? These days we like the participatory approach as Members too have ideas on how best we can serve our people. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has admitted that the rules are discriminatory which is unacceptable. Also, his written answer which shows that 1,098 applications were rejected because some had already registered as refugees reveals irregularities in the Government service. Could he tell this House what action, if any, has been taken against the civil servants who gave supporting documents to these applicants who were already registered as aliens? What is he doing to improve the service, so that the errors of civil servants do not make him discriminate against Kenyans who need national identity cards? view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Motion. view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of this Motion which has been so eloquently moved and seconded by the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC). view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I will endavour not to repeat what has already been put before the House. A lot of issues have been raised by people about the checks and balances of a presidential system of government. I will begin by saying that it must be noted by all that the system we have is a parliamentary system, but corrupted by the Office of the President being merged with the Office of the Governor at Independence and, therefore, creating a presidency that is unknown to a pure parliamentary system. view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General has told us that his office has done its part in communicating with the relevant Government offices, but my experience is to the contrary. Could he table the letters with which he communicated to the relevant Government Ministries in this case, so that we can see on what dates and we can apportion the delay? Secondly, could he also tell us whether he has advised the Government that failure to pay is actually a case of impunity? The rule of law means that the Government must obey the law like all citizens. view
