• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Mr. Joseph Kinyua Marui disappeared in Mt. Kenya Forest where he had gone to graze cattle on 26th October, 2011 and has not been traced since? (b) What efforts is the Government making to ensure that the said person is traced? view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Assistant Minister for that answer, I am a bit disappointed that the only action taken was sending signals around the country. What is required in a case like this is a search party which should go into the forest where this man was. Is the Assistant Minister prepared to organize a search party, so that the family may be able to ascertain whether this man is alive or whether harm came upon him? Is he willing to immediately organize a search party of the KWS, the army, the police and the members of the ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the Assistant Minister’s commitment to conduct a search, but I would want his assurance that in future in cases of this nature, immediately a disappearance is reported a search will be mounted without any delay to aid the family of the person who will have disappeared. Otherwise we are devaluing the citizenship of our people. There must be some value in being a citizen. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise in support of the Motion and thank you, hon. Members, for indulging me. I rise in support of the Motion and seeing the interest I will try to be very--- view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to, first, commend the Committee, I wish they went a little bit further and moved this House to stop all demolitions until there is a policy on demolitions. I am hoping that before the conclusion of this debate, an appropriate amendment to that effect will come up. I think the Committee tried within the time and the means they had. I want to refer to one of their observations that there were court cases between the Kenya Airports Authority and the residents of these places before the demolitions. This brings to question the issue ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I am not misleading and I think if he means it as a point of information, he is welcome. I would not agree even with the Attorney-General. There is nothing wrong with the law. There is something very wrong with the enforcement. If you want to know how correct that is, we have a new Constitution. Why are people being evicted in a worse manner than under the old Constitution? This has nothing to do with the law. It has something to do with attitude. It has something to do with the impunity that reigns in this Government. That is ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not hold brief for hon. Waititu, but I think that the House will need your guidance. A Member has tabled documents which speak for themselves. So, if any other Member says they are not what they are, the onus then will be on that Member. However, to ask a Member who tables a document, to do something technical, like saying the location and other technical things, it will set a dangerous precedent. We shall never be able then to table documents unless the ones we have authored. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: to ask the Minister for Transport the following Question by Private Notice: (a) Why were the residents of Kyang’ombe and Maasai villages in Embakasi area, Nairobi, evicted without notice? (b) Why has the Government not provided the residents with alternative settlement? (c) What measures has the Government taken to offer assistance to the evictees? view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Kenneth Muchiri Muriithi, a Form III student at Kiine Mixed Secondary School in Mara District, disappeared on 7th September, 2011 and has not been traced since? (b) Was a report on the disappearance made to the police by the School and, if so, when? (c) What is the Minister doing to ensure the whereabouts of the student is established? view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard that unfortunate statement from the Assistant Minister “where the student is hiding”. This is a boy aged 17 years, in Form III and, therefore, he is a minor. He was in a boarding school and disappeared from a boarding school where the parents entrusted him to the school authorities. The school took more than seven days to report. They only reported after the mother went to school and discovered that the child was missing. Has the Assistant Minister investigated the relevant personalities in the school, from the watchman to the teacher on ... view
