• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are the concerns that one of the sides has. We are highlighting these concerns because they should be addressed and recognized. They also go to the root of the constitutional criteria which has been given. With those remarks, I beg to second the Motion. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government has been allocating very substantial resources to construct roads. However, we know that those roads are being used by big trucks and lorries which are causing a lot of damage to the roads at an extremely high rate. That is happening because the Government cannot enforce the Road Act. On the other hand, without a functional modern railway system, there is no way the Kenya economy will move forward. Could the Government tell us clearly what it is doing to address transport problems all over the country? Without a railway system, there is ... view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Prime Minister:- (a) why the Government continues to retain Ministers tainted by corruption in the Cabinet contrary to the Constitution, considering the seriousness of the fraud and corruption allegations made against them, as well as the fact that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) has instituted investigations; and, (b) what measures the Government is taking against the concerned Cabinet Ministers to ensure that they do not use their official positions to interfere with independent investigations. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not feel very satisfied with the answer given by the Prime Minister. Just to illustrate what I am saying, for instance, there is the issue of the Minister for Industrialization. There was a list that was produced in this House concerning vehicles of more than eight years of age imported into the country; a list of 306 vehicles was produced in the House. In response, the Minister told this House that those vehicles were of returning Kenyans. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that list – I also have that list – shows for instance, that Pakem Investment Company imported 60 Toyota Corolla vehicles, and was given an exemption. Records from the Registrar of Companies show clearly that one of the owners of this company is Gulam Yasin, a Pakistani. The second company which imported 37 vehicles is Yuasa International Limited. One of the owners of this company is a Japanese and the other five directors are Pakistanis. I wish to table these records before this House. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer the Minister gave to this House was, therefore, misleading. This illustrates the problem we are raising; that, Ministers are using their official positions simply to mislead this House and also to frustrate view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish the Prime Minister can respond to one aspect of the question which is; one of the requirements under Chapter Six is that Government officers or public officers wherever they are serving, have to serve public interest and not other interests. In instances where you have Ministers being investigated, is it not apparent that they have personal interest to defeat public interest, subverting the investigations? What safeguard is the Prime Minister going to take where investigations are being carried out so as to ensure that they are fair and free from interference from the serving ... view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Bill. The purpose of the Bill is self explanatory; it is seeking to open a window for Kenyans who may wish to have their personal interests or tastes captured by our legislation system. In other words, it is being giving effect to diversification of the registration system to recognize different tastes. There is no harm that is going to be caused in doing this. It is only going to increase the range of freedom to be enjoyed by the user. For this reason, it is a very good ... view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the course of executing its security duties, the Government supplies ammunition to police officers, knowing very well that they are used on civilians. So, there is already evidence on record, and maybe the Assistant Minister will confirm this, that this officer was actually diagnosed as suffering from a dangerous condition. Does the Government not have a policy of regularly checking the medical condition of its various officers, so that it can identify at what juncture they may become dangerous when handling weapons? To fail to maintain such a policy is great negligence to the ... view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion and thank my Chairman, hon. Namwamba for moving the Motion as ably presented. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting this Motion, I wish to highlight to this House that these nominations are being brought as part of the political reform packages that started with the Political Parties Act, which was enacted in 2007. It was made operational in 2008. Among the objectives of the Political Parties Act is to regulate the business of political parties in the country. One of the role in this regard for the Tribunal ... view
