• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to, first of all, congratulate the mover but also to say that there is a lot that needs to be done on the management of the next general elections. I just want to alert the House that I have already alerted the Speaker and the Office of the Clerk as we speak now, of a draft Bill regarding further amendments to the Elections Bill particularly on the voting of Kenyans in the diaspora. As you know, regulations alone are not enough. As it is, they are so insufficient. We do not know how the ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. I want to congratulate hon. Simam. You know, there is something very special with teachers. Even in this House, there are quite a number of us who have been teachers. I was a teacher. The Mover of the Motion was a teacher. Dr. Khalwale might have taught at one stage in life. Most of us were teachers. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Therefore, this is not a matter we can joke around with. Teachers are pursuing a legitimate right. They are pursuing an agreement they reached with the Government. It is not out of the blues that teachers have gone on strike. The Government knew that they had entered into an agreement with teachers, but the same Government has refused to implement it. It is, therefore, the fault of the Government, and not that of teachers. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was very surprised when I saw teachers on television, being chased around and tear-gassed by the police as if they were criminals. It is the height of shame for the Government to do this kind of thing to teachers. I want to request the Commissioner of Police to look at those television clips, carry out investigations and arrest the police officers who have been beating up teachers for trying view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter is not as easy as the Assistant Minister is trying to portray to the country and the House. This country hosts one of the largest refugee camps in the world. There are very many people living outside who wish to come and visit their relatives here in Kenya, but who, by virtue of where they live may not have acquired the passport of that country and, therefore, they have what he has called travel documents in his answer. If these referral visas are reviewed, the Ministry could generate a lot of income from all ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Defence:- (a) whether he is aware that Mr. Abass Sheikh Nur (No. 18131849) served in the Kenya Armed Forces between 1959 and 1962; (b) whether he is also aware that the said officer sustained injuries following an accident along Gilgil Road in 1962; and, (c) what the policy of the armed forces was in providing assistance to officers injured in the course of duty before 1963 and whether he could ensure that Mr. Nur is assisted. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Assistant Minister for the answer given. Mr. Abass is a resident of Wajir County. He was recruited from Wajir in 1959. Even at the time of Independence, all the officers who served with him, including himself were taken over by the Kenya Armed Forces as officers of the Kenya Armed Forces. This officer is aged and suffering as a result of sustaining injuries in the course of duty. I just want to find out from the Assistant Minister because there is no evidence to suggest that the responsibility was taken over by ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead the House that this officer was paid when indeed he was not paid? If he was paid, can you table evidence that he was paid because we know he was not. You should not mislead the country. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, none was paid. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am quite satisfied with the Assistant Minister’s assurance. I hope that when I visit his office with Abass, it will not be a different ball game altogether. view
