• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish the Assistant Minister when answering the Question read the answer. This is because Members are not all privy to the answer and I am the only one who has a copy here; because of their laxity in providing enough copies Members are not able to follow. I am really disappointed by the answer that has been given by the Ministry. It is completely unsatisfactory. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a matter that has disturbed this House when a lot of pressure is piled on Members of Parliament here because they are ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Question has already taken more than a month now. Giving the Ministry one more week would not be doing justice to this Question. In fact, the Assistant Minister is misleading this House because if he talks about liaising with other Ministries and key stakeholders, they are not doing that. This is because even on 30th May, 2012, as he prepared this answer, he stated that the Bill on Leadership and Integrity will be forwarded to the CIC next week. Even before that, this Bill was already with the CIC. ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am a bit at a loss because the Minister’s answer contradicts itself in some part. He has given us the status of all the land parcels belonging to the KMC, but in his answer to part “d,” he says that “a team has been formed to establish an accurate inventory of all the land belonging to and reserved for the KMC.” So, is he confirming to the House that whatever he has given us in the earlier part of the answer is not accurate, and that it should not ... view

• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you look at part “b” of hon. Duale’s Question, it asks: “Could the Minister provide a list of all the land parcels and properties owned by KMC indicating the Land Reference Numbers, their locations and status of ownership?” When we are ambiguously told about Coast Members of Parliament, which I also happen to be, although I was not a Member of Parliament during Moi’s regime, it places a very black coat and condemnation over Members of Parliament who passed through this House. Could the hon. Minister table a list ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Mungatana has raised concerns in respect of which we all need to worry, but I have a different line of thought. Last year, when enough maize was harvest in this country, the Government made an allegation in this House that we were facing a shortage of food and maize, and that they wanted this House to approve the importation of millions of bags of maize. As a House, we turned down that request. Since we have denied them the right channels for the importation of maize, is this a scheme by the same Government to hoodwink ... view

• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not responded to my question. Although he has said that they are not aware of any biological warfare from companies, I made it clear to him that this Government was contemplating importing maize which we turned down as a House. Although he says that he will not allow maize to be imported to this country until they exhaust and buy all the maize in the country, they are already dissuading farmers from planting maize and telling them to plant tomatoes and beans and as a result, creating artificial shortage. So, is the Assistant ... view

• 23 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You must have heard Mr. Ojode saying that if DCs are involved in irregularities, they do not expect such information to come from the NSIS. Is he now confirming to this House that he has no confidence in the entire NSIS such that when things go wrong in Government offices they cannot report? Is he in order? view
