• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, although not through the Chair, I have been informed that he is Rev. Muhoho. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contract sum was varied from Kshs800 million to Kshs10 billion. However, this was done without re-tendering. Most of these contracts are illegal. They are happening in the full view of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). The KACC has not moved to look into these matters. We only see them going to City Hall to arrest councillors who misappropriate Kshs300 from meter parking fee. The good man of God, I have tremendous respect for, varies a ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not have to clarify. It is in public domain--- view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am networking to get that information tabled before I wind up. In the meantime, I withdraw. However, truly, the facts are obvious. This is a contentious issue that this Government must clear. view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Tuju is my best friend and he knows how to manage the media, but I do not. Perhaps, he should advise me that if I need to catch the headlines I must look at the Press Gallery. In fact, that is a titbit. I want to catch the headlines because it is a long time since I did so. For sure, I am not a luminary, but I would like to catch the headlines. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I said is an issue of concern to the general public. There is truly ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we denied the presence of mamluki in this country, but they were here. Today, we have denied they are not here, but eventually, they would be found. Whether my neighbour wants me to withdraw the statement for the sake of it, which I can do, but the fact remains! There is a problem at the KAA. The sooner the Government addresses it, the better for them. It could lead us to consider voting them in. Through the Chair, why can Mr. Tuju not take the advise to correct the situation, in this House, and advise ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take that information. view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the report could come out, it could stop the "big boys" from "sucking" from the pot. It is convenient that the report does not come out, so that we can turn our eyes the other way and continue paying, while killing mother Kenya's children. Our country bleeds under the hands of corruption. Unless we address that matter, we shall continue suffering in the hands of bad governance. I was talking about the issue of roads. A devolved government would address the issue of concentrated distribution of resources. I want to state here that there ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Wamwere was a very effective Member of this Committee, and I am sure he would like me to jog his memory, so that he can contribute to this Motion very objectively. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to find the solutions to the problems of this country in terms of efficiency, we must rate these people on the basis of economical, efficient and effective application of resources given to them. Your grandchildren, and mine too, will be burdened by the yoke of debt. That debt is not disappearing soon. It is actually growing by the ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am wondering whether the hon. Member on the Floor is in order to refer to hon. Members as "characters". Is he in order? This is a Minister of long standing experience in Parliament. view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I want to congratulate the hon. Members who participated in this forum, and particularly the Mover, who has made it possible for us to deliberate on this very important Report on the Floor of the House today. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my key point is on increase in small arms. A good neighbourhood is the best comfort that one can get. It does not matter how secure you are within your home, so long as your neighbourhood is not ... view
