• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I wonder whether this is in tandem with our new Constitution which envisages a Minister who will be outside Parliament. It would be important that a way is found where the reporting system reaches some independent body that is able to scrutinize the reports. To that end, I wish to propose to the Minister to consider bringing in a provision for the report to be coming to the relevant committee of the House. I know we will have the opportunity to pursue that further in the Committee of the Whole House. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: The other thing that I want to comment on is that I know this is going to regulate the private sector, but I think the biggest spender is the Government; the biggest transactor in money is the Government. So, I want to see how clearly the Government is safeguarded in this national payment system Bill With those few remarks, I support. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister seems to be stuck on the Kshs1 billion that is with the Ministry of State for Special Programmes.

• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to even make it more straightforward. I want to thank the Minister for that answer. Similarly, the Homa Bay sewerage system which has been operating in the past has stalled. There have been various attempts to resuscitate it. Could the Minister make an undertaking that he will consult with his colleagues to ensure that the Homa Bay sewerage system is also undertaken? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion, that this House adopts the report of the Departmental Committee on Defense and Foreign relations on the Familiarization Visit to Kenya Embassy in Somalia laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday May 3, 2011. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me from the outset to join my Chairman in sending my condolences to those patriotic Kenyans who died in the course of duty as they were trying to defend the territorial integrity of this country. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me also to say that the issue of Somalia is a very serious issue, particularly to our great country, Kenya. As a human being, I do not choose my relatives. I have a choice of who my friends will be, but as a country, you do not choose your neighbors. Every country finds itself with neighbours whom it does not choose. One of our neighbours is Somalia, among others. It is important that we take responsibility to ensure that we live very well with our neighbours. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to point out that I was privileged to have been part of the Kenyan delegation to the last UN General Assembly. During that meeting, I was in the company of his Excellency the President, and his Excellency the President took that opportunity to seriously mainstream the issue of Somalia. That demonstrates the great lengths to which this country is prepared to go, to ensure that there is peace and stability, law and order in Somalia. view
