• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister’s answer that Telkom Kenya is a private company and at the same time, he is saying that the Government view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us if we are going to vote using what he is calling “polling books”? If we are going to use “books”, then there is no difference with manual registration of voters. He needs to explain to Kenyans view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was expecting a Statement from the Minister for Lands as to why the Government has not gazetted the Land Commission. The Statement was due this time and I have just seen the Assistant Minister for Lands walking towards that side. I do not know why the Statement is not here and the Chair ordered that it be given today. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, it will be on Tuesday since Wednesday will be a public holiday. It is okay. I have been corrected. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was not aware that you had already passed that it will go by guillotine, so I wanted to talk. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the Paper and say that I have actually gone through it. It has very good proposals; for value addition for agricultural products, for all other sectors, proposals on how to link things that will spur industrialization, how to link Ministries of Energy, infrastructure Ministries and many other things. It is a very good paper, and I beg to support. view

It would be a tragedy for us to abdicate the responsibility given to us by the Constitution to set qualifications, especially for Parliament. ... view

• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was just thinking, through you, that the Minister will need to let Kenyans know because to vote, one will have to be identified through the biometric machines and yet, the kits are being shared by polling stations. How shall we vote? That is the real question. They need to come ready so that there is no confusion on the voting day. How else can we be identified without the kits? Are you buying more kits before the voting day? view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Lands. The Minister should tell this House why the Executive has failed to gazette the members of the Land Commission in spite of them having been approved by this House and in spite of the pending court cases having been finalized in October. He should also tell us when they intend to gazette the members of the Land Commission and whether they are still within the law for having delayed this gazettement. view
