• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that makes my contribution even juicier. Now, I can stop contributing. The issue of solar was spoken about in great detail by my colleagues. Perhaps the Minister can use more resources in future. This is because in that province and many other provinces in the north, particularly, Turkana and North East, we have solar in abundance. However, there has been no capacity or resources deliberately sourced and injected by the Minister and the Ministry over the years. Every time the Budget has been read, the Minister has always given a desire that this is a resource ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to begin by congratulating the Assistant Minister. Knowing him, I am sure the Minister has an able deputy. Now that he has confirmed that relief food is being supplied to every part of the country, could he confirm that in the northern parts of Kenya, and the President himself has directed that the relief food be doubled from the initial distribution levels, will receive enough food so that people can be comfortable before the rains come? view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is reading before the House an Act which clearly has been violated by his own principals and school administrators. For the case of Muslim children, particularly Muslim girls who have been denied an opportunity to wear hijab, which is a religious obligation in the schools where they are currently studying, for example, The Kenya High School. He has not taken any measure to monitor what these children go through. The fact that his own education officials have view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want the Minister to listen. He has read an Act of Parliament which clearly states that the wish of parents will be taken into account. The wish of Muslim parents is that their girl-child wears the Hijab . Today, we want the Minister to solve it administratively. However, if he will not be the Minister tomorrow, what will happen to them? We want a policy implication so that in future, Ministers who will come after him know it as a policy. It is the wish of Muslim parents that their ... view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I consulted with the Minister and we agreed that he requires to go to the depth of this matter. I think the two weeks that he has requested will be sufficient enough, but I want to plead with him to ensure that proper investigations are done, so that these Kenyans who are unnecessarily suffering do not suffer for long. So, two weeks is sufficient enough for the Minister to investigate this matter. I thank him for that statement. view

• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I intend to take the least minimum time because this is a very obvious Bill. It is an important Bill. The Minister was very right in insisting that the Commission must, truly, be independent. I know that the Minister was under considerable pressure not to allow the establishment of this Commission. But I want to salute him for that wisdom and foresight. The reason why, for the last several years that there has been a struggle to change our Constitution as a country, is basically on account of two things. One was on account ... view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: If the jobs are so serious that women cannot occupy them, then they should not be employed in the first place. A Commission like this one is important. It must be equipped and those who will serve in it must be truly qualified. They must understand what it is supposed to achieve. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he could explain the circumstances that led to the death of Ms. Fatuma Farah in Garissa Town on March 25, 1994 and whether he could state the findings of Inquest File Number 3/95; view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question I had asked on the date the Assistant Minister has given referred to Inquest File No.2 of 1995. But the Question this afternoon is on Inquest File No.3. So, there are two files. The one he answered was Inquest No.2 and I am asking about Inquest File No.3 of 1995. So, it is a different Question! view
