• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is misleading the House even more. He appoints the Directors to the Board of the Co-operative Bank of Kenya, as well as those of the Kenya Co-operative College. Those are the appointments I was referring to. He has appointed people from his own home area, who are his friends. view
• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I make my comments on the President's Speech, I wish to refer to the introductory part of it which read: "A dream of a well- governed country that is prosperous, just and equitable." I will show that, indeed, our country today is not well-governed, prosperous and very much not equitable. With regard to prosperity, we know very well that, indeed, this country has grown, as they say. But the wealth creation they are referring to is in the services sector. It is the stock markets, the cellphones and the banking industry that ... view
• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: I apologise, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, and humbly withdraw it. On the issue of the Vision 2030, I will refer to the comments by Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o that, indeed, it has to be such that it includes all Kenyans. At the moment, the policy statements made under this particular vision are similar to those that were made, one, by the Kenyatta Government that we would have water by the year 2000, which came to pass. Another one was made by the Moi Government that we would have industrialisation by 2010 and now, another one being made by the Kibaki Government ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Oloo-Aringo is in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom (UK) and has written a letter confirming that I should continue moving the Motion which was interrupted previously. For purposes of jogging our memory, I wish to read the Motion which is that--- view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have just been discussing issues to do with insecurity in this country. One important aspect of security in this country is food security. While the Assistant Minister, Office of the President talked of armed security, many armed conflicts arise as a result of lack of food security. In Kenya, food security has been lacking. Since Independence, we inherited an economy that was structured to suit Her Majesty the Queen's Government. That economy was meant to produce cash crops that supported the economy in the November 22, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3843 UK. When we took ... view

• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me add my voice to that of all the hon. Members who humbly contributed to, and supported this particular Motion. I would like to give one minute to Dr. Ojiambo. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to take note of the support of the Minister and the Government side. I also take note of the objection he raised that the intended change in the Motion would have substantially altered the spirit of the Motion. I would also like to say that I have taken note of the views expressed by Mr. Mungatana, Rev. Nyagudi, Dr. Machage, Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko, Capt. Nakitare and Prof. Olweny. I want to thank all hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion because I believe it represents a valuable contribution. I would also like to ... view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Ojode had requested me to ask his Question on his behalf. May I seek your humble discretion to allow me to ask his Question? I apologise that I was consulting the Clerk as per your directive and, therefore, I was not able to respond. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you can recall, I was the Assistant Minister in this particular Ministry, and the hon. Minister was my boss. When will TARDA get enough funds to be able to revive all the projects that were started when they were generating electricity? Since the job of generating electricity was removed from them, TARDA has no teeth; they have no money to fund any project. Could it be that the Minister is misleading this House by implying that TARDA is able to fund any project in Kirinyaga District, whereas in reality, they have no ... view
