• 19 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you only read the names of hon. Members who will contribute from the other side! view

• 19 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to inform hon. Paddy Ahenda, my good friend, that the reason why his grandmother was not consulted is because he is here. He is elected to represent her at every level, including Budget proposals. view
• 19 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you had already indicated that I was speaking next. I had no doubt that you will not rescind that order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also take this opportunity to laud the Budget. In the last two to three months, we have had very frightening developments in the area of security in this country. I am happy that this Budget has addressed the issue of insecurity by availing enough money to hire 25,000 policemen. If that is done, we will be able to increase policing to curb insecurity. Criminal gangs should not be allowed to take ... view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, you may recall that this Bill came here, was moved and, in the process of being moved, it was stepped down. The reason why it was stepped down is because we have an Inter-Parliamentary Parties Committee sitting together with civil society to discuss issues of what has been variously May 24, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1629 called minimum, essential or necessary reforms. This Bill was tabled at the meeting as one of the key documents for discussion. I have been privileged to be chairing a sub-committee that is dealing with technical issues of this Bill. This ... view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. On 16th November, 2006, these applications in respect of eight Tibetans, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, were submitted at the Kenya High Commission in New Delhi. The request for issuance of the visas has not been granted. No subsequent application has been lodged in respect of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Kenya supports the one-China policy and that Tibet is part of mainland China. view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I heard a speech. However, be that as it may, I have said very clearly that Kenya has a wonderful relationship with China. That is why in the last 12 months, we saw the President of China, the Prime Minister of China, the Chairman of the China Congress and the Speaker of the China Parliament all visit Kenya. I have also said that an application was made and that it was not granted. I also said that no further application after the first one was declined has been made. Whether a letter was written or not, ... view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that the application for the visas has not been granted. I did not say the application has been denied. What is important is that Kenya is an open society. If His Holiness Dalai Lama was to visit Kenya, for example, and his only reason is to visit our national heritage sites such as the new wonder of the world - the Maasai Mara - we would have no problem with that. I am sure the Government of China will understand that. I have, indeed, spoken to the Chinese Ambassador and expressed these views to ... view
