• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I must confess that I have not been to Homa Bay for the last two years because of that road. I confess further that I will not go to Homa Bay for another year because that road will still be in that state. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the resources of this country belong to all Kenyans and this House is a House of justice and fairness. If you look at the manner, way and style in which these funds have been shared out, there is no justice. We could be the minority but justice has been defeated by the ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is a very good friend of mine. He is elderly and we respect him and I am sure that in his youthful days he used to love visiting Homa Bay, Sori and Kendu Bay and he can only do so by improving the roads to that side of the world. We have no problems whatsoever with allocations that have been given to other places but we want fairness in these allocations. Hon. Ojode here has to come and sleep in my constituency and tip-toe to his area because there is no road called ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree. I entirely sympathise with hon. Ojode since he might soon use boda boda to his home since there is totally no road there. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is indication that some money is being given to the District Road Engineers. The Members of Parliament who are expected to "participate" in the efficiency with which money is utilised and eventual services to the public are edged out completely. We meet, talk about roads and say that Road "A" should be done but when we look at what has been done, you will find out that it is like what our people say that "ploughing using goats is very different from ploughing using the oxen". The roads are so badly done. If somebody does ... view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want the little money allocated for the repair of those roads to be properly utilised. Migori District, for example, has been allocated Kshs50 million for the public works activities. The Kshs50 million ostensibly is for putting up the district headquarters. There was so much hullabaloo about the creation of new districts during the referendum. However, we do not see anywhere, on the ground, where such districts are covered. I sympathise with Mr. Ojaamong when he brings his Bill because he was granted leave by this House to do so. What will happen to those ... view
• 13 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this wonderful debate. I want to thank the Minister for coming forth and proposing Sessional Paper No.1 of 2006, whose objective is to regulate the NGOs. Although the Minister is brand new in that Ministry, his effort to bring this Sessional Paper is a starring score on his performance as a Minister. The responsibility of providing services, developing this country and ensuring that laws are obeyed squarely falls on the Government. Any entity that wishes to share in that responsibility must be regulated and must ... view
• 13 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: You also know that terrorism has taken a covert position in the global security threat. A lot of NGOs are a conduit through which money that funds terrorism is channelled to the terrorists. So, it is important to know our NGOs so that other than being suspected to be drug traffickers like we are, we should equally not be suspected of being channels through which monies that benefit terrorists are brought in. We know that terrorism has no friend and does not love life. We, as a country, have suffered intermittently and continuously from such acts when we are not ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The Mover of this Motion is a good friend of mine. We have, in fact, had a discussion as to whether I should move an amendment to this Motion. However, I have changed my mind and wish to go on record as opposing the Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in modern governance systems, the word "ban" is never used. So, as part of the democratic world, Kenya should never be encouraged to ban anything. The appropriate word that is permissible in modern ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have been trying to catch your eye. There is a point that Ms. Karua has raised and I want to correct it. She said that personal bodyguards of hon. Members are not provided for in the law. If you look at the Parliamentary Service Commission Act and the provisions by the Cockar Report, it is a right and an entitlement to all Members of Parliament! view
