19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just saying that, at the burial of one Kenyan hero, our hearts were pierced by the cries of the widow. The widow appealed to Kenyans and asked: Why, after 40 years of Independence, blood is still being spilt in Kenya, in search of peace. She asked: "Why? When shall we have peace in this country?" We were all very moved, indeed! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to look at the genesis of what is bringing insecurity in this country, particularly in areas in upper Eastern and North Eastern. It is not ...

18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to start by congratulating the Leader of Official Opposition for the excellent way in which he presented this Report. Likewise, I would like to congratulate the Government Responder for the fluency in which she dealt with the matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government's determination to fight corruption is total. I am part of that Government and I abhor corruption. If I stood here and tried to oppose the adoption of this Report, I would be sending out the wrong signal that the Government ...

18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is plain from the Committee's findings that Mr. Githongo first knew of this contract on the 3rd of March, 2004, exactly three months after the contract had been signed. It had been signed on 4th of December, 2003. When he came to know about the contract, already Kshs90 million had been paid. Furthermore, Mr. Githongo informed me of this discovery on the 10th of March, 2003, already three months and seven days after the contract had been signed. He came to lunch at my house on the 4th of May, 2004 exactly five months after the ...

11 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House do adjourn until Tuesday, 18th April, 2006. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not a Motion that we expect debate on. You have said it all. Yesterday was the saddest day in the history of our country. Since we got Independence, while we have lost from time to time hon. Members of this House, it has never happened that in one go, we lost so many of them. This country is composed mostly of young people. When you look at the hon. Members and the senior civil servants ...

6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Kenya Charity Sweepstake has collected a total of Kshs1,879,146,000 in the last four years. The breakdown of the amounts raised is as follows: Year 2002, Kshs570,496,000; year 2003, Kshs468,501,000; year 2004, Kshs432,149,000; year 2005,408,000,000. Total, Kshs1,879,146,000. (b) It should be noted that the Kenya Charity Sweepstake gives its donations in terms of provinces and districts, but not per constituency. It is, therefore, not possible to give a breakdown of how much each constituency has received in the form of charity. However, the Kenya Charity Sweepstake intends to adjust its format to capture ...
