• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: No women! Men! This is because if we are in a Grand Coalition Government that wants to inspire hope, really, we have 52 per cent women and 75 per cent young people, yet we have sat and cobbled together a 12-man team to say that it is going to give hope to this country. Which hope? Who are they reflecting? Are they reflecting the Kenyan society? I do not think so! Ja nuary 20, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had asked for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources which he promised to reply today, on the reasons for the cancellation of the Kenyan delegation to the UN Conference on Climate Change. view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that we have the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development, I wonder whether the Assistant Minister will clarify for us if that is the Ministry that will be in charge of infrastructure development, so that we can have a concrete way forward on this perennial problem of roads being constructed in Nairobi, and which never get completed? view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources on the reasons for the suspension of the Kenyan delegation to the United Nations Forum on Climate Change in Poznan, Poland, that began on 1st December and is to end on 12th December, which was to include Government officials and experts to this crucial meeting with is setting the agenda for the review of the Kyoto Protocol due next year in Copenhagen. view

We have a document called "The National Youth Policy" that we are supposed to have gone through in this House. Is this going to be part of the debate in that retreat or is he saying that this is a document for debate on another day? view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will go straight into the issue of the civil society. I come from a background of civil society and I think there is a misconception that the civil society is against this Bill.

• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the conflict in our region emanates a lot from the question of Somalia. The Minister is aware that the countries that surround Somalia are always drawn into the conflict by such cases like what is happening in Kenya today. Is he not able to use the African Union (AU) to mediate in this issue, so that Kenya does not look as if it does not want to host the hon. Members from Somalia? We do not want to start the kind of problems that Djibouti and Eritrea have because of Somalia. view
