• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as hon. Bahari rightly put it, the Question I posed is key as to whether the Kora National Park as it is and gazetted holds any water as a National Park or it will revert back to a reserve. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I quote verbatim Minute No.7 which is in Kiswahili language, it says:- “Na kuvunja mojawapo ya moja, mbili, tatu, nne na tano hapo juu, ni maana ya kwamba mapatano haya yatavunjika rasmi.” These are agreements. view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just quoting a document verbatim and that is allowed by the Standing Orders. But now to translate to those who do not understand Kiswahili Language like hon. Nanok, the essence is that if the agreements as per the minutes stipulated are not met by the KWS or whoever was in charge then, the Kora National Reserve does not or will not view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no problem with two weeks, if only the Assistant Minister knew that this Question has been in abeyance for one year and that is what the Executive usually does. view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister knows that Isiolo is one of the flagship cities. The Government wants to construct an airport and make it a resort city. How many roads in other places in the country have had their BoQs prepared and approved after 2007 – after the BoQs for the one in Isiolo had been approved – and the Government has gone ahead to fund them? Could he tell us which roads they are? view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is, again, a case of one Kenyan whose whereabouts we are unable to tell. For two months now, the police are still chasing and following leads. If the Assistant Minister says that disclosure of the individuals under investigation will prejudice the arrests--- If they have been unable to make any arrests for the last two months, we can even help them if they give us the names of the people they suspect. That is because they have been unable to do so. As hon. Bahari has requested, if the Assistant Minister can be a little ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we are asking for are timelines. Despite the Assistant Minister standing at the Dispatch Box close to three times, he is still stuck with the one month. If they are unable to do something in two months, they cannot do it in one month. So, it is only calling for the urgency of the matter and the seriousness as a Ministry. Maybe, you can give the indulgence of one more week so that the Assistant Minister can brief the House on how far they have gone with the investigations. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would request that you be a little bit patient with us on this. If the Assistant Minister wants the House to take him seriously on this matter, Mr. Duale, gave names of suspected Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) wardens and the vehicle registration number. The Assistant Minister has not even told us whether they have up to date, recorded statements from the suspected wardens and officers, and whether they have been able to trace this vehicle. He is not disclosing any information. He is bluntly telling us that investigations are going ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. So, that we do not send the wrong signal to the Executive, that they cannot be compelled to answer a Question, I want to refer you to Standing Order No.46, which says that it shall be a disorderly conduct for a Member to fail to ask or for a Minister to fail to answer a Question listed on the Order Paper. That is what Mr. Lesrima is doing. The Standing Orders give you powers to compel a Minister and if they do not answer, you chase them out of the House. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The concerns of Mr. Ruto and Mr. Ethuro are not wild. This House has proven beyond reasonable doubt that this Government only moves when it is moved and especially the Executive side. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this “wheelbarrow” we always refer to has proved to be a real wheelbarrow. When three months ago we raised the alarm that there were constitutional Bills which had not been presented to Parliament and whose time would lapse any moment, we were advised and, in fact, promised by the Leader of Government Business, and the ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not have a problem. view
