• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want the Assistant Minister to confirm to the House that Bingwa SACCO Society is one of the best managed SACCOs in the country, and the fact that there are members who have been suspended by the SACCO does not mean that it is crumpling, and that the Ministry will ensure that the SACCO and its members are protected so long as they operate within the law. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that Government land, numbers LR 209/10219and LR 209/10220, situated in Mukurukwa Reuben and meant for a community school, police post and dispensary, were illegally consolidated and issued to an individual as LR 209/11887; (b) whether he is also aware that the said land has been used to secure a loan; and, (c) what measures he will take to ensure the said parcel of land reverts to the community. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I am now satisfied with the answer up to and including the revocation, I am very concerned with the tone of the Assistant Minister wanting to reward public land grabbing. Is he aware that the copy of title attached to the answer in which I had supplied him, on the face of it, it shows that this title was issued on 1st December, 1990? But at the back of this title where the conditions are, it reads: “10th day of March 1993. It is clearly showing that, that is a fraudulent deal? On what basis would ... view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I express satisfaction in the manner he has answered, except on the issue of possible compensation, which he has promised to look into. I just want to thank the Assistant Minister once again and urge him to ensure that he protects public utilities view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: It is the Equalization Fund! view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I agree partially with the Address and, therefore, my thanks will be partial, and not whole. On the statement that the Grand Coalition Government has focused or/and has sought to improve the lives of our people, I want to say that if they have tried, then they have failed because a majority of the people cannot afford even their daily meals. A majority of the people cannot access the basic services such as healthcare and housing. Even the education that is supposed to be free when children have no food and ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he may inform me! Having been my deputy, he may inform me! view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you. Actually that is correct! It was initially reported as Turkana but it was West Pokot and I thank him for that information. I also want to comment on the fact that the Constitution has created 47 counties. Many of us politicians are living in the past. They are talking of Rift Valley, KAMATUSA. They are talking of Central and GEMA. For information of all Kenyans and to restate what is in the Constitution, the Rift Valley as a province has ceased to exist. The Central as a province has ceased to exist. In its place are five counties ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I was quite surprised when the President talked of the Bills that we must pass, including the Bills relating to land and I endorse it. He did not talk of the Bill to enforce Chapter Six on integrity. He did mention that the elections are near; does this indicate that the Grand Coalition Government does not prioritize that Bill to enforce integrity? He also did not mention the Campaign Financing Bill. These are very important Bills and I want to urge the House that if the Executive fails to prioritize them, as a Parliament, we can, and we must, prioritize ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I would want to wonder when we are showing partiality in application of the law; when the Government has put its machinery at the disposal of the suspects, and it has not put the same machinery at the disposal of the victims, is this the environment where the Government now can say that impartial investigations and trials can be conducted? There is nothing wrong with wanting a local tribunal, but the questions are: Will it have an international component because this is a highly emotive political issue? I noticed that when the President was appointing a tribunal to investigate the ... view
