• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would just like to note that when we are reading a Second Time, explanations are expected so that the hon. Members pass what they know. In the absence of explanation by the Mover, it means that there may not be any good reason for passing the amendment. It is for that reason that I oppose. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I support the amendment about counterpart funding, et cetera . This is only 10 per cent. The other 22 per cent is going to the constituency, making a total of 32 per cent. The 68 per cent is at the disposal of the Government. If the Government wishes to do affirmative action on it, there is enough money. If the Government has not, in the past, carried out any affirmative action on these funds, while we debate the best way to do it now that we hear intentions, that can be achieved by ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: I second the proposal view
• 24 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I asked for a Ministerial Statement on the 11th of this month. The Chair directed that the Minister in charge of internal security gives that Statement last week on Thursday. I was away on an errand for Parliament. Today, I see the Minister is here, I do not know whether he is ready to give that Statement. view
• 24 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Statement was on the killing along the Nairobi streets of one Njuguna Gitau and the general insecurity in the country, including the murder of very many young men, especially from the Mt. Kenya region. view
• 24 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will notice that the Minister has avoided one very key component of the request for the Ministerial Statement. That is the number of executions in and around Nairobi from January to this time. I deliberately asked about the executions which would include murder and those by the police. I would like the Minister to say when he will avail that information because he has left it out. However, with regard to what he has answered, I want to draw his attention to the fact that Luthuli Avenue is one of the busiest streets of Nairobi ... view
• 24 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I seek another clarification? view
• 24 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has not answered the question I have asked. I have said that there are plain clothes police officers along every busy street and I wonder what they were doing on that day. Why was there no swoop or rapid response after the shooting of this young man? I salute the Minister for admitting that the police need reforms. When will the reforms be carried out? What is he waiting for? Could he begin by making every police officer accountable for his or her actions? Could he also begin by not accepting that every time ... view
• 24 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not even wish to seek any clarification. I just want to draw your attention, Sir, that the Minister did not answer one critical question. How many people have been executed within Nairobi since January this year? That was missing from his Statement. Could he undertake to bring that information tomorrow? view
• 24 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have looked at it. It is only indicating prominent personalities executed. I was looking for all Kenyans, not only prominent personalities. So, could he, please, give a list of all persons executed within Nairobi, since January this year? People who are not prominent are also human beings! view
