• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, when I stood here and supported the point raised by Mr. Mungatana, I did say that I had not been as meticulous as he was. So, I was admitting that I had not completely gone through the Bill. But I called for a scrutiny of all the Bills passed during that period, which you have adopted and made part of your ruling. Therefore, one gets a little lost when that call is said to be misleading and yet, it has been adopted by the House. I think it would be laudable to recognize anybody who “bells the cat” and ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. 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 police officers shot and injured Messrs. Fredrick Nyaga Ndubai and Patrick Mwangi Waweru at Njathaini Kasarani on 3rd August, 2011? (b) Is the Minister also aware that Mr. Patrick Mwangi Waweru subsequently died of gunshot injuries? (c) What action has the Minister taken against the police officer(s) involved and what plans does the Minister have to compensate Mr. Ndubai as well as the family of the late Patrick Mwangi Waweru? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Minister for that answer, and also noting that the police are dragging their feet over the investigations--- That incident happened in early August. We are now in October and investigations are still going on. Now that Fredrick Nyaga, who survived has, a bullet lodged in his lungs and he is not able to afford medical treatment, what is the Minister and the Government going to do to ensure that Fredrick Nyaga does not also lose his life and that the bullet lodged in his lungs is removed pending all those investigations? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite clear that the police were not shooting to disable, but to kill, and one man succumbed to injuries, while the other one is in hospital. Therefore, it appears it is a clear case where the Minister ought to take action. When is he going to take action? Could he promise to have a letter tomorrow morning, to be picked by Fredrick Nyaga for treatment at the Kenyatta National Hospital? That is what we are looking for. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Minister for the letter and it will be collected by 10.00 a.m., tomorrow morning, but what about taking action? It appears they shot to kill and not to disable. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to congratulate the Attorney-General and tell him that he is capable of doing better than he is giving on this one. Yes, he is the Attorney to the Ministry but there is collective responsibility in Government. He can commit and in case he fails to commit, I will turn to the Chair. Could Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker direct that the cheque be availed here in Parliament within a month? That is enough time for the Government, through their internal procedures, to produce the cheque. This is a case of impunity where a judgment ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. When the Attorney-General says that he does not wish this to be the channel of getting decrees, if only in one instance Parliament compelled payment of the cheque, all Ministries in this county would shape up and impunity would have been broken. Is it in order that the Chair helps the Attorney-General by directing that the cheque be here by the 10th of November, which is a month from today? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could the Assistant Minister consider liaising with the Office of the Attorney-General to see whether, through subsidiary legislation, they could find a way of enforcing the Sugar Arbitration Tribunal judgments as we await those amendments? This matter is urgent and the number of cases pending enforcement is just too big. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am requesting for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. I appreciate that the Deputy Leader of Government Business is listening. There are General Service Unit (GSU) officers who have been given an eviction notice. They have been residing at Kabarnet Gardens here in Nairobi. They are still in service. It is not clear why they have been given an eviction notice from their quarters. They were given the notice on Tuesday, 11th October, 2011, and asked to move within two days, I suppose by today. Could the ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Deputy Leader of Government Business appears not to have understood. Two days are ending today. So, an undertaking is required that the Government minds the welfare of these officers who are still in service and will withhold any precipitate action pending the satisfactory answer on Tuesday. It is within their powers. These are Government quarters. view
