• 31 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek your guidance as to whether hon. Members are allowed to sit at the Clerk's Table. view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. This country has only two communities. The community of the rich which comprises of a few but stinking rich and very powerful people in this country. view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Not MPs! I am very poor. The second community comprises of majority of Kenyans who have been impoverished over time. Unfortunately, this country does not have a social welfare system where the money from the rich can be used to support the poor. This country needs a system to support the poor. We should find a way of getting the poor out of where they are. We should give them economic support. The lack of economic empowerment has left majority of Kenyans very poor. Inadequate resources have been mobilised to get majority of Kenyans out of poverty. Mr. Temporary Deputy ... view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has admitted that it is true. view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the poverty most Kenyans are suffering from is linked to the pattern of politics in this country. That is the famous phrase that Mr. Moi used; that is, politics of discrimination which have led to poverty in this country. That cannot be denied, although it is still being done today under the NARC Government. We do not know whether the Government is promoting NARC or NARC(K). view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us how money meant for water development was--- Anyway, a lot of money which was meant for water development in this country has been taken to areas surrounding Mount Kenya. I think the 3130 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 25, 2006 Assistant Minister should tell us about that. The resources that have been available in this country have been misused or abused. For example, money for the YK `92, Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation (MYWO) and some which was supposed to be used to assist the disabled was misused. How was it used? ... view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: May be it is Kenyan like you only, not everybody else. The YK `92 money was meant to abuse or misuse the youth for political reasons. The same was done to women using the MYWO and even the disabled. If such money was put in the hands of people who had skills, or was well managed, a few more Kenyans would be doing better today. So, we need a system where Kenyans are trained better on how to manage small business enterprises. We need a legal system which helps in having such money well managed, not simply misused by politicians. ... view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My assumption is 2452 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 27, 2006 that the Responder is to come from the relevant Ministry, which, in this case, should be the Ministry of Finance. The Minister for Agriculture can just make his contribution to the debate and not respond officially. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In places where such gangs operate, it happens that some police officers are in league with them. I had similar problems in my constituency recently where gangs were operating and raiding my constituency. I was informed that there were some police officers who were in league with them. Is the Assistant Minister convinced that there is no police officer operating in league with Kilunda in this area to terrorize people? view
