• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: I am concluding, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also want to say that we need to protect the freedom of the media. What we saw with the Artur brothers was an abuse of the freedom of the media. That is something that we must protect at all times; whether or not you are in power. There are principles that last at all times. Whether you are a Minister, President, Prime Minister or Back benchers, you must respect everybody’s right to freedom of expression and inherent dignity. You must respect rights that are provided under the ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am getting concerned at attempts by various hon. Members to force us to read another Report which is not before this House. I have heard some hon. Members alluding to dishonesty by us. If you read this Report, on page seven; Membership of the Committee, you will see that it is very clear. We were not there. So, we are not dishonest. We are reading this Report which we were given by this House. If you look at page 25, there are recommendations in relation to Raju Sanghani and Kamlesh ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to seek your direction because this issue keeps coming up and it will probably come up another time if we do not get your direction and for my information, especially as a first-timer in this House. If there are names mentioned in a report, I would like your direction on whether or not we should discuss them or whether we should give a blind eye to names that are in the Report, because at other times, we will have to bring a Motion when the names are not ... view

• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The information we have is that 400 police officers went and invaded this farm that has only 300 people. Here is a situation where the police are the ones that are involved and the Assistant Minister is telling us that he is not aware. Do you expect your own police to come and report that they invaded and hurt an 18 months old baby in the process? So, is the Assistant Minister in order to be evading answering the question from the Member? view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Assistant Minister’s written answer, he has actually indicated that one of the reasons that they have not paid is because some of those reservists do not have bank accounts. Given that these people are not ordinarily employed and, therefore, not paid on a month by month basis, how does he expect them to open a bank account just for purposes of payments? Could he find a different way of paying them so that their payment is not delayed just because they do not have bank accounts? view

• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Of course, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know you know me. The names of the members we were given are persons of great repute. I am very happy that even the women who applied are of very good academic qualifications and repute. I wish we were able to take all of them including Koki Muli and others. Unfortunately, we were not able to get everybody on board. However, she is a person who is outstanding. I wish we could recognize that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would only want to add that in relation to Mr. Philemon Mwaisaka Wawaka, we questioned him ... view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead the House? Since I have just had the benefit of discussing with one hon. Member here, this is an issue that has come before our Committee and it touches on gender discrimination. I am standing here married in Zimbabwe but in Kenyan Parliament.

She comes from Western and when we questioned her ... view
