• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before we go into the kind of drama that we displayed as a House yesterday, I would like us to really concretely think about the people we are talking about here. We are not just talking about figures and statistics. We are talking about people, constituencies and needs of communities. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first reason why I oppose this Motion is because the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey Report did not come from the air. Therefore, we must start taking responsibility for some of the things we do as Members of Parliament and Committees. Therefore, unless the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 can come and disown this budget survey Report as a Ministry, and the CDF Committee that deals with this issue also gives us more concrete reasons rather than what has been given by the Mover, we really have no business always ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, as you know, I do not represent a constituency but I have listened to my colleagues very seriously on the issues they are raising and all of them have genuine concerns. But if we continue speaking about the new dispensation in this Constitution--- We passed what we are calling an Equalization Fund. The spirit behind the equalization fund is what, in implementation of this survey, is doing. In short, what it is doing is that there are some constituencies that are not benefiting from it, but there are those that have been historically marginalized which ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know very well that I have never stood here to speak for Central Province or Western Province where I am married. I always speak for the Kenyan people and that is why I am a Nominated Member of Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said clearly that everybody has a case, if you listen to the Members of Parliament. But the message we send on this Floor, when cameras are stringed on us, must stop being issues that just lead to more division and lack of national cohesion. As I have been clearly told, ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to be informed because, as I have said, I am not an expert on this issue. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that before the debate begins and goes to proportions where comments like that of hon. Mbadi will be propagated on the Floor of this House, we need to take a break as Members of Parliament and argue for why your constituency needs more CDF money, but not why another constituency does not deserve to be given extra funds. This is because that constituency has a Member of Parliament, including the one you represent. So, I am opposing this Motion because I do not think we are in the state of mind of arguing this ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oppose. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the same issue, would I be in order to ask the Leader of Government Business to also ensure that Ministers do not talk about this issue in public and in the media as we await the Ministerial Statement? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has talked about sending signals and using Safaricom. What kind of investigative process has he put in place? Is there somebody in charge of this investigation? Is it a continuous process? Is it something that if the family wanted information they would get it continuously? From my understanding, the Assistant Minister seems to give the impression that they have done the best they can. I did not hear anything about the continuation process or who is in charge of the investigation. view
