• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the Assistant Minister’s statement if you want to get extra security personnel all you have to do is cause insecurity because they deploy security forces where there is insecurity. I thought security forces are to deter insecurity from happening. Since many guns which were used by people to protect themselves were returned from Tana River District, his Ministry has time and again promised us that it will do a review and head count of the KPRs. When will the head count end and when will we get additional security in return? view

• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on matters pertaining to women and their involvement in politics, the meeting noted that the Millennium Development Goals had sought to reduce poverty and have the number of people earning less than a dollar a day by the year 2015. Although these goals are quite ambitious, they are not sufficient to eliminate poverty worldwide. Women parliamentarians were, therefore, urged to be at the forefront of preaching peace and fostering all forms of peace initiatives in their countries. view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy, Speaker, these are in a nutshell, the discussions that took place in Addis Ababa and successive assemblies are usually held every year. Two Assemblies were held; one in Geneva and one in member states. The one in Geneva followed in October, last year, whereas we had one in April in Bangkok this year, which our Parliament did not participate in because we were engrossed in the debate on the new Constitution. view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to move and ask hon. Ethuro to second. view
• 8 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you and the hon. Members who have supported this Motion. It is apparent that as we have our own fight here between the Executive and Parliament, and with our country going for reforms, where the demarcation will be very clear and lines drawn between the Executive and the Legislature, so is the global world and perception. This is the only conglomeration of parliaments that tries to exercise their authority and influence to better the lives of those people they represent in a world that is becoming more of a village. The world ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With the understanding that this Ministry was created for the development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands, the budget Speech by hon. Kenyatta this year mentioned Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands more than 100 times and there were monies allocated for water, agriculture and livestock. Which Ministry is implementing these projects? How does the Ministry of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands come in, in this aspect? view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, electronic voter registration will lead to electronic voting when it comes to the election day. With the current percentages of illiteracy in some parts of this country, which go beyond 80 per cent, how is the Commission and the Ministry prepared to make sure that those people who are registered are able to vote quite comfortably when it comes to electronic voting? view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought when the Heads of State are visiting, it is something that is known prior, in fact, a week to the schedule. So, I am a bit confused whether this Head of State just gate crushed or at least, there was prior information and the Chair would have been privy to that discussion even before it. view
• 6 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. It seems this issue of Ministers absenting themselves during Question Time has been recurring. I would attribute that partly maybe, because the Ministers do not understand the Standing Orders. Would I be in order to suggest that the Attorney General, who is the chief legal advisor of the Government, should take the Ministers for a weekend off for an induction workshop on the Standing Orders so that we are not caught up in this melee again? view
