(a) Could the Minister give reasons as to why the Police cancelled the meeting scheduled for 12th December, 2010 and organized by the hon. Eugene Wamalwa and Mr. Maina Njenga at Kamukunji grounds, Nairobi, in disregard of the Constitution?

• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am okay with that. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will say like my colleague, that I am not a lawyer, but I do understand the spirit of the law. When we were in this House and clearly said, “Let us not be vague; let us go to The Hague,” with almost a majority, we thought and believed that the ICC will be the voice of the voiceless. Until we have put in a mechanism that will be the voice of the voiceless, we still have not ensured that the ICC is the voice of the voiceless. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: The spirit of the law tells me that the reason we are here is because we represent a people and a nation. The people and the nation that you are speaking about, as an hon. Member, I want to speak about and say that they want justice. The system of justice that we decided in this House, as hon. Members--- If we want to set up another system or if we want to withdraw –as the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs has said in this House – procedures must be followed, if we do not want to ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not the first time that we have seen the manhandling of this particular Assistant Minister and the Member of Parliament for Embakasi, neither is it the first time we are seeing the manhandling of Nairobi MPs, because of having to always deal with court orders that are effected by police, and who behave as has been narrated. Could the Assistant Minister tell us, at what point will he allow MPs of Nairobi to do their work, instead of having to tackle policemen who remove women and children from their homes when the court order ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sure you have heard the Assistant Minister say that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is trying to think. It is obvious from his answer that the Ministry is admitting that it has no remedy for this situation. Is it in order for the Government to sit and still try to come up with solutions to problems that have been brought to the Ministry countless times? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to congratulate my colleague, Mr. Imanyara, for pushing for this Motion under very difficult circumstances. I want to thank him for bringing out the truth to the public about what happened during this raid at the premises of the Standard Group. I do not what to repeat what he has said. However, I would like to concentrate mostly on what Kenyans saw on their televisions and what took the country into a panic when our country was being taken over by foreigners. When the premises of the Standard Group were raided, many ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my point of order is very simple. Could I ask you, as the Chair, to clarify whether it is in order for us to discuss this Report in its entirety in order to avoid being accused of playing party politics, or of being a click of “mercenaries” or whatever we are being called? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am adding my own words because you called us a “click”. I can also use another word. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, is it fair? Can you give us direction as to whether this Report can be debated in its entirety, with all the names that are mentioned in it, and with all the issues, or must we only debate on a specific part of it? view
