• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, today, in one of the dailies, there is a photograph of a tent belonging to a Kenyan in an IDP camp. We are told that he is missing. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: You can see the flap of that tent. He is missing because when the tanker rolled, he thought he could go there, perhaps, collect a little super petrol, sell it and make some money. However, the President and Prime Minister, who benefitted from the National Accord by bringing peace in this country are themselves failing in leadership. They have failed to lead this House and the country in passing this law that will enable the citizens of this country, including those whose homes were burnt, children who are unable to go to school and women who were raped--- We are ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: My very good learned friend is raising a point. He is saying: "Why should we spend so much money?" But has it occurred to the country that the law we are going to propose in front of you protects the victims of the offences that occurred in January to March last year? The victims of Fe bruary 3, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Watapanda ndege view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: This is an extremely serious problem and I want to ask that as politicians and leaders, we show leadership to the country. We should rise to the occasion. We understand that our citizens are living in camps for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). We should entrench the creation of this. We should bite the bullet and say, we are young. Hon. Imanyara is my junior in law but a very able man. He is a very young man politically and everything else. He has a great future and all of them here including the Chair of the Legal Committee. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: This is the time to go and lobby Members of Parliament and Kenyans. Bring everybody here. This gallery ought to be full watching us amending the Constitution so that we tell Kenyans: "Never again will you touch me because of casting my ballot." That is my next point. Never again will you torch a church. Never again are we going to remove a child from the back of a mother and throw it into a burning church because if you do, the Kenyan law will drop on you like a tonne of bricks or shall we say, like a tonne ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is because if we allow the Hague to be the one to do so--- I want to remind you, if you allow me to do so because I should not--- Kenya has been famous as an island of peace which is respected for one thing and one thing only, which is regular elections. We have never had problems or military coups or power by force. It is true we have rigged elections but our opportunity has now come to say: "Not again". We want to say to the young Kenyans, "whenever you cast a ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me remind the country that photograph of December 2007, which was on television, of a young man in Naivasha being extracted from a moving matatu and chopped to death. How will that person who died go to the Hague? I have been told about air tickets but is that the spirit? Is he going to the Hague? Who will be able to speak for him? Who wil speak by him and who will stand by him? Therefore, I want as a country, to respect our sovereignty by acknowledging that we are signatories to the ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: As signatories, we have also been privileged to contribute a judge there. Let the citizens of other failed states go to the Hague. "Do not be vague, go for the Hague." In Kenya, we will say, you can be vague because we will do it in Kenya. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the absence of light is darkness. This amendment to this Constitution is an attempt by this country to produce light. Between December 2007 and March 2008. there was darkness in Kenya. Blood was flowing on the streets. Even the churches were silent. They did not even know how to pray any more because people were killing each other. Some of them have said that they were encouraging their congregations to participate in the demonstrations. view
