• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Assistant Minister prepares to provide an answer, I hope that he appreciates the importance of this Question. Many of the people who are affected by this particular Question have been very anxious since the passage of the new Constitution in August last year. Some of them have been lobbying and trying to get in touch with me, as the Chairman of this House’s Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources. Therefore, I trust that this matter will get the attention it deserves. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In that case, perhaps we could be allowed to pend hon. Kioni’s Question, so that the answer can be comprehensive. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for that speech. He has talked about politics in Kenya being masculine and physical. Politics in Kenya has also become some kind of national addiction, courtesy of politicians and the media. What is the Government doing to make sure that our politics is more peaceful and ideological? view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are very glad to hear that the Ministry is trying to do something about this road. However, the Assistant Minister seems not to understand that this road is in a terrible state. The Kshs60 million set aside for this road is not enough. I have no doubt it will go some way in patching up some sections of the road, but the actual bedrock of the road is gone. Once you lose the bedrock, repairing a road becomes extremely difficult. Could he help us understand, whether there are plans to put much more money into ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Assistant Minister wants to maintain what does not exist. The road is actually gone. So, could he help us understand what he actually means when he says that funds have been set aside to maintain the road? The road is actually gone in big chunks. view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you were saying your prayers, somebody said they detected a tremor in your voice. They were a little concerned about what lay ahead. I told them that that tremor would normally precede a solemn statement. You have not disappointed. We thank you very much for what you have said today. I stand here today to also add my voice to the fact that the sovereignty we exercise today is delegated to all of us in power. That sovereignty belongs to the Kenyan people. Being a Member of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs we are ... view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, the sovereignty we have, in your words, is exercised on behalf of our people. Therefore, I stand here today to remind us that this sovereignty, whether exercised in the Judiciary or in this Parliament or by the Executive, is delegated. It is sovereignty that belongs to the people of Kenya. The people of Kenya have given to themselves a new Constitution, and they have huge expectations from those whom they elect. I stand here to make a plea to all of us who are in positions of power, and remind ourselves that power ... view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to make a plea to my colleagues here and in the Committee and those who enjoy high office in the Executive. To the two Principals I say this: The authority they exercise as our Principals is delegated authority. It is delegated to them by the people of this country. The sovereignty belongs to the people. It is vested in the people. So they enjoy it as delegated authority. That, I think, is a statement of fact in line with the new Constitution. So, we humbly appeal to our Principals to, please, create ... view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I plead through the Chair that the Principals provide the stability, a credible centre and a place around which we can begin to enjoy the new Constitution and make it meaningful. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we are all aware of how serious these matters are. The hon. Members of this House, as you are aware, have been associated with matters that are weighty, both nationally and internationally. Even as you look at the authenticity of this dossier, we have been told by the hon. Minister and also the Prime Minister that certain investigations are taking place. Could I kindly request that you give a ruling with regard to the timelines on these investigations that they are undertaking, so that we are clear by what time the reports from the Minister ... view
