• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is incumbent upon us, as hon. Members of this House, to verify the authenticity of matters that we raise here. Mr. K. Kilonzo has just claimed that the seminar which was going to be in Naivasha was going to cost Kshs150 million. Unless he can verify that the seminar was going to cost Kshs150 million, he is out of order. Is he in order? view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the answer. However, it is known that water levels have gone down in many lakes in the Rift Valley. The one feature that is known around Lake Naivasha is the big flower farms. It is also known that they discharge a lot of chemicals into the lake. Could the Minister state categorically what steps have been taken to confirm that it is not these chemicals which were responsible for the death of the fish? view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, two years ago, the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC) placed an advertisement in the newspapers to acquire consultants for construction of their headquarters building in Karen. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I want the Prime Minister to tell the people of Kenya how this land in Karen was acquired; how big the parcel of land is, how much was paid for it and whether it represents value for money for the people of Kenya and why the construction of the KACC headquarters has not started. view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the President’s Address to the nation. I join my colleagues in expressing my support for the quest by the people of Kenya to attain a new Constitution. I think this matter has been overdue. We have been on it for over 20 years now and probably it is time we got it behind us so that the country can move forward. Even as we go through the process of giving our country a new Constitution, I would like to say that even the best ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: bottom of his heart. As a nation, we are still dealing with what I believe is an invasion of our country by a neighbouring country. This is the issue of Migingo which has not been resolved. Down at the Coast, in Msambweni and my colleague is here, there are some border posts where Kenyans have resigned to acquiring identification papers of some countries because the harassment by security forces from those countries is too much. Let us be firm to defend our country and be proud to do so. With those remarks, I support this Motion. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion of Adjournment. I join my colleagues in asserting that the recess is well deserved. As we go out there, let all of us be Kenyans in the way that is expected of our positions in leadership. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to call on my colleagues and fellow Kenyans to, at all time, put our country before self, before various communities and even political parties that have brought us to this parliament. I know a number of my brothers and sisters have already expressed their wish to lead our country which is okay and within their constitutional rights. Indeed, leading this country is a unique privilege. But we, as Kenyans, must say that it should not be at any cost. Some of us who believe in this country get extremely ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Finally, we are embarking on making a Constitution for our country. But as a person, I do believe that the real reforms that Kenya needs is not to be written in our Constitution, but it has to be written in our hearts and minds. Some of the greatest democracies in the world have Constitutions which are only four pages long. In fact, the Constitution of the United States of America is shorter than the index page of our view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
