• 20 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: That is okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister clarify whether the high powered committee he has appointed will look into the following issues: One, the specific role of the previous Board because corruption is not just in the public sector but also in the private sector? Could he clarify whether he will engage the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) and the police to do the investigations? Secondly, he should look into the issue of goods worth Kshs1 billion having been purchased from China as well as the issue of the inflation relating to the company's buildings, have the culprits prosecuted and sent to ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You had indicated 1292 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 13, 2006 earlier that you would give an opportunity to one of us on this side to contribute to this Bill. view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the time that those Armenians have been in the country, they have behaved the way they have because they have been protected by high ranking people in the Government. Some of the items that were found in the house in Runda where the Armenians were staying were the same ones that were stolen when there was a raid at the Kenya Television Network (KTN) and the Standard. The Minister of State in charge of internal security said that, that was a Government operation. Where is the dividing line between the Armenians and the Government? view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, available evidence shows that those Armenians were part of the raid. Therefore, this Government has consistently protected those Armenians until today, when the embarrassment got out of hand. Mr. Shadrack Kiruki was once a Commissioner of Police. I was the last person to see him as the Commissioner of Police that morning. I went to see him to protest about his violations of the law. He was sacked at 1.00 p.m. But now, you are appointing him to head a Commission of Inquiry to inquire into the activities of the Armenians. Only Parliament can conduct independent and ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Some of the issues that need investigations are with the individuals in the Government who have been protecting the Armenians. They must assume responsibility! The culture that we have in Kenya of passing the buck downwards has to come to an end. You should pass the buck upwards! You should assume responsibility. Therefore, we need to have the evidence of the Commissioner of Police and others before we can believe Mr. Michuki, who has been defending the Armenians, actually ordered for their arrest. It is very difficult to believe that he went through that metamorphosis! view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not right for the hon. Member for Central Imenti to say that people from Murang'a fought for our Independence. Not all of them were freedom fighters. Some were not! view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we are saying is that, if His Excellency the President wants to be taken seriously, let him start from the top in terms of sacking people. We have seen other Ministers being told to step aside to allow investigations to be conducted. Why are the Ministers responsible in that case not being told to step aside in order to allow investigations to be conducted? We want to know how high up in the echelons of power the protection went. We must bring that scandal to an end once and for all! view
• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement on what the Government intends to do on the Uchumi Supermarkets issue and particularly on three issues. First, if the Uchumi Supermarkets is permitted to go under, chances are that Nakumatt Supermarkets, the only other big supermarket chain, will purchase Uchumi with the result that the public will be subjected to a major monopoly. Secondly, over 1,000 Kenyans have lost their jobs. Therefore, we want the Government to clarify on what positive steps they are going to take. Thirdly, the public was an ... view
• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I got carried away. I withdraw that word and replace it with those "Kenyans" who do not think about other Kenyans and, therefore, who led to the collapse of this company. view
