• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate your ruling. We accept it. However, I wish to inform the House that I am not even in receipt of a written answer from the Minister. Ordinarily, it should have come through their office. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we all know the important role that nurses play, particularly in counties where there is a shortage of doctors. So, the nurses are a critical element of our health care services. The Assistant Minister has said that in May, eight nurses were recruited and they are waiting for the Public Service Commission to give them numbers. I think the Assistant Minister is trying to pass the buck to the Public Service Commission. Does he have evidence that he has actually followed that matter with the Public Service Commission? If he has, could he table it so that ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a clear case of discrimination. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that persons with disabilities cannot perform after 60 years while those who are not disabled can perform? Is he in order to mislead the House and the country? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a serious matter; it is, indeed, a grave matter. It is about the security of this country and the Assistant Minister cannot afford to make it trivial. Is he in order to impute improper motives on the hon. Members of this House by suggesting that we are not supporting the initiative of the Government to maintain law and order in this country? Can he withdraw and apologize? view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that the Assistant Minister has veered off the concern of Mr. Hussein, by going into issues that are currently happening and which, as Kenyans, we all support. But we, hon. Members, have been victims of those flights, particularly the ones coming from Somalia. It is important that the Assistant Minister knows that. Flights that come from Somalia - according to his answer - first land in Wajir Airport. Now, Wajir is part of Kenya; it is not in the Somalia territory. Now, Wajir has Immigration Officers and ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to support this very important Motion. At the outset, I want to say that fully I support all the recommendations that this Report is asking us to do from a point of knowledge. I happen to be the person whom President Kibaki appointed as Kenya’s Ambassador to Somalia, after almost 20 years of Kenya’s diplomatic absence in Somalia. I want to thank the President for having given me the opportunity to serve my country in that capacity after our long diplomatic absence in Somalia. I ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: The diplomatic leverage that Kenya required to host the Somali peace process in Kenya, which went on for two years, was as a result of the fact that we had never interfered in the Somali conflict in terms of supporting any particular group in that country. Hon. Members will remember that after the collapse of the government in Somalia, there emerged thousands of small organisations which wanted to control the country. While other countries in the region might have been accused of aiding one particular group, this country has always stayed away from interfering in the internal affairs of Somalia. ... view

• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to apologize for the failure on my part to ask this Question early enough due to unavoidable circumstances. I wish to seek the indulgence of the Chair to allow me to ask this Question. view
