  • 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: I did it before, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
  • 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support. In supporting the Report, I will be very brief. I want to indicate that even though I may not know many of those people who have been appointed, I know two of them. The Chairman, Mr. Macharia, was in my class and has worked a lot on the issues of police reforms. view
  • 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: All that I want to encourage is that they should have a temptation that, having worked with the police, they will be biased towards the police. They should look out for the citizens. I know Ms. Rose who has worked in the children sector. I hope she will actually look out for the children interests in the Oversight Board. view
  • 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
  • 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, for that comprehensive answer. Could the Minister clarify what action she has taken to inform the public of the existence of the tribunal given that there are many cases of discrimination that relate to HIV/AIDS? What has the Minister done to popularize and sensitize the public of the awareness of the tribunal? view
  • 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to request the Assistant Minister, given that he is naming almost the whole of Nairobi, that he gives us the areas that are not affected? I think that would be much easier. view
  • 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to know that from the Statement he has shown almost every part of Nairobi is unsafe. He then concluded that we should be relaxed because Nairobi is safe. In fact, he has just advised me to avoid some areas, which are so numerous, and include where my friends live. That is, Kamukunji, Runda, Muthaiga and Mathare. Is the Assistant Minister in effect basically telling me that I should not be travelling at all at night? Can the Assistant Minister tell me which place is safe and which I can ... view
  • 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I need your direction. The direction I need is that the Constitution says that there shall be no discrimination on several grounds including that of ethnicity. I am glad that the Member has apologized for what he said and I am glad I was not very keen. However, I listened to what you said and it is upon what you have said that I need your direction. I have stood on this Floor, in the past, and named even tribes which do not include mine but which I have felt are ... view
  • 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also wish to request the Minister in his response to also indicate the specific role of these County Commissioners vis-a-vis the roles of Governors and what measures have been put in place to avoid conflict in terms of competing roles. view
  • 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Finally, I spoke earlier about the issue of ethnicity and for the first time the Constitution provides that---- and many marginalised communities always complain that they are not included. For the first time, we had an opportunity to give at least one ethnic community a position. Why was it not possible to consider one person per ethnic community and there would still have been extra five to distribute amongst the bigger tribes if we must? So, could we not just give one per ethnic community? view
