• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the Motion for various reasons. The issue of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) has been haunting this country for the last three years. I think it is past the time when we ought to still speak for people who are internally displaced, people who lack the basic amenities, people who have children who cannot even sit exams and cannot have the basic education. The Government has been too lax for a time too long and this House cannot watch in earnest. For the last three years, questions have been coming to this ... view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. For the benefit of my colleagues, I want to be very brief in my contribution. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whilst I support this Motion, it has been said very clearly that this culture of maiming, raping and killing people in northern Kenya has been something that has been ongoing. But the expectation of the people from northern Kenya has been that, at least, with the promulgation of the new Constitution, this culture will come to a complete halt. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I go back to the events of when ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to keep on not answering this very valid Question? What expertise do the officers from the Ministry of State for Defence have to verify whether or not an identity card is genuine? view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) to provide details of names, sex and serial numbers of people vetted for issuance of National Identity Cards in Nanighi Location between 26th and 29th April, 2010, and what the status of the applications is, (b) whether he could confirm that the applications are still lying at the Hola District Registrar’s office and have not been taken to Nairobi and, if so, state why; and, view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: (c) when the applicants will be issued with the identity cards. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Minister has been congratulated for answering a Question very well, but I do not know what to say about this Question because he is denying Kenyans information which is within his reach. These Kenyans have been issued with NPRs, which are counterfoils from the forms that are issued from the registration office. The Minister has the audacity to tell this House that he cannot provide the names because they are not in his possession. They were issued by the District Registration Officer who is answerable to his office. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would ask ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there seems to be a disconnect between what the Minister is saying on the Floor of the House and what he has given as an answer. He is saying that the forms were taken to the headquarters and then returned to the area chief. But the date he is giving as when the forms were issued and the date he is giving as when the forms were returned are tallying. The same dates the forms were issued are on 26th to 29th. He purports in his answer that they were returned to the chief between on ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir! view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know who the representative of those people is, other than me. I am the Member for Bura in this House that the Minister is purporting to have complained. If he has any letter to show that there were complaints from the locals--- That is because it is the same locals who are pressuring me to put the Question to the Minister. If there are any legal complaints he has in the form of a letter or audio tape, let him table it in the House. That is because ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will seek your indulgence because this Question has generated a lot of interest and, as the Minister himself confirmed, the issuance of IDs or getting an ID is an inalienable right of every Kenya. There seems to be so much controversy surrounding Kenyans and the issuance of IDs. Whether or not a Kenyan can get a job or even a driving licence and any other document depends on getting an ID. I would seek your indulgence that you allow some more ventilation before I--- view
