• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with a light touch, the name is Saddam Farah and we are doubtful whether he is not an Iraqi, but I have now confirmed that he is a Kenyan and he has since registered. He is waiting for his identity card. This is a very serious matter because the student should join university. I confirm that those who have now applied, unless there is any other question, will get their identity cards in 30 days. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have the normal security apparatus there. We need the chiefs, the elders and the intelligence officers to help us because if you go through this list, you might find names which you are very doubtful whether they are Kenyans or not. We want to check that. We will try as much as possible. The Member should encourage those who registered there and are afraid to come out. There are so many other people who registered and they now want to declare that they are Kenyans, but they are afraid that they may be arrested, but we ... view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is some information from the Sultan, which I will accept. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is amazing how many could be there and it is not exaggerated because the refugees that are registered and are in our database are in excess of 700,000. So, 2,000 is a small percentage. So, it is not something which should scare anybody. I am trying to say that every Kenyan who registered as a refugee, but now wants to declare that he has seen the light and wants to become a Kenyan, should come out. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Arising from your ruling, it would seem like there should actually be a Motion either to amend the Report, even before we debate it, to suggest that any of the resolutions of the Committee that suggest an increase in the number of wards beyond the ones that are provided for in the Devolution Act, should be struck out. That is the first thing that we should do, so that we then deal with the remainder of the Report. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, the House does not just change its mind. The House can only change its mind by another resolution. There is no proposal on the Table for a resolution of change of mind. So, can we proceed by way of striking out any part of this Report that purports to increase the number of the wards beyond what is provided for in the Devolution Act, so that we deal with the other sections that have nothing to do with those numbers? view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Committee of the House that has brought this report arrogated to itself certain powers that unfortunately it does not have. You can only exercise those powers that you have by law, but you do not go and arrogate to yourself the power to apportion or hive certain enclaves to yourselves and then bring them to this House and suppose that we may, by some misfortune, support you. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: If you looked at the 60 or so called wards that are additional, some maybe deserving and some may not, but the truth of the matter is that the beneficiaries are Members of that Committee. If you know that you have an interest in the matter which you are dealing with as a Committee, you declare that interest. You even withdraw from that Committee because you cannot sit to be a judge in your own case. This thing has made us look at the Committee with a lot of suspicion, that any time now that you are given the privilege ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is really their report. I do not have to substantiate anything. Just read your report and look at every ward that has been created of the so-called 60 wards and see who has benefited from them. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
