• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: recommendations of the NSIS? The NSIS is a very important body in this nation. It is charged with a very heavy responsibility. The Executive must be able to listen to its recommendations and ensure their implementation. If the reports of the NSIS had been acted upon, some of the ugly scenes that we saw would have been avoided. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also saw that Kenyans were very furious as a result of being let down by their Government. Consequently, unnecessary killings took place. We also saw people maiming others and houses set ablaze. This was an experience which we had not seen in this nation previously. Houses were burnt down. Even churches were not spared. We have not seen, in other countries, situations where sacred places were destroyed. That is a development that we should not allow in future in this country! Crops in the farms and in the granaries were also destroyed. That has caused ... view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: It is also important to note that the issue of patriotism has been lacking. Patriotism is what we should all pray for. We should all fight for patriotism, so that we can give our people proper and credible leadership. That must be seen from the way we, ourselves, behave. The political leadership in our country should change the direction. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wish to register my appreciation for the sacrifice that was made by hon. Members of this House by way of contributing a sum of Kshs50,000 each. That really went a long way to indicate our concern to those who were affected. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) is also causing tension among the families and also on the land. As we stand here, the IDPs are still vulnerable. They are still living on the roadsides. There are others who are living with their families in tents. There are others who have even lost the desire to live! It is important, therefore, that those who planned, executed and really supervised the whole violence must be found and made to go through the process that we intend to create. Justice and fairness must be exercised in the whole ... view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to ask the Assistant Minister a very simple question. Could he inform the House what basic criteria is used in upgrading these health centres to sub-district hospitals? view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: This is because I have realised that we have only one health centre in Lari Constituency which was opened in 1953. Up to now, it has taken almost 56 years. How long will it take to have Lari Health Centre upgraded to a sub-district hospital? What is the basic criteria? view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: As the Assistant Minister has very ably indicated the seriousness that they took in replacing this X-Ray machine, it should be noted that they stayed for three months without taking any action and the people in the three constituencies were suffering. The Assistant Minister has indicated that a stabilizer will be supplied to that area. How soon will he act to avoid that kind of predicament? Ja nuary 21, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. As I support the Motion, I wish to remark on one or two items. The first item concerns the vehicles that were impounded at the Port of Mombasa. I think a directive was issued to crush all those vehicles which are about 2,000. I think that, instead of destroying those vehicles, why can we not, as a nation, make a firm decision to give some of those vehicles to our Police Force, hospitals and even our schools? Why should we ... view
