• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by inserting the following Clause 2J that outlaws discrimination in property ownership, management and disposal:- "2J(1) It is unlawful for a person, in relation to property in Kenya of which he has power to manage, lease, let or dispose, to discriminate against another- (a) in the terms in which he offers, lets, manages or disposes to him the property; (b) by unjustifiably refusing his proposal for sale or engagement in the person's business, where the same conditions do not apply to others who are not of ... view
• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to November 26, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3611 continue lecturing us on the ineffectiveness of his Ministry? He should tell us what action he will take to ensure that if this Ministry cannot safeguard the lives of Kenyans, it is scrapped or merged with another Ministry, so that it can be effective. view

• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you. I want to support this Motion and, of course, congratulate the Member of Parliament for Budalangi, Ababu Namwamba, for bringing this Motion that, definitely, touches at the core of his constituency. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to agree with many of the speakers who have said that Budalangi is not only known in Kenya because of the disasters that it has gone through, but it is actually known internationally! I know I have watched Cable News Network (CNN) many times and I have seen Budalangi being shown there. That is ... view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I stand to contribute on the Vote of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government, I want to start by expressing my relief that this is not a budget that has been crafted under the able leadership of our Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government because to me, it is not only a mockery of the Ministry of Local Government and its seriousness to this country but also injustice. It is something that we must look at critically if we are really going to make a ... view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: education and issues of development. The other day when we were discussing the Vote of the Ministry of Education, there was some money allocated to development of schools in terms of building classrooms. So, how much money are we giving to build classrooms if we are getting some from the Ministry of Education, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government and CDF? Most Members of Parliament take a huge chunk of CDF to schools. Really, what are we doing as a Government? Are we speaking and listening to each other? Let us be fair to Kenyan ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me start by, of course, congratulating the Minister and saying from the outset that, I do support the Bill. I would, however, like to digress a bit and raise my concern about the seriousness of this House on critical issues that are being debated here. I see that we are really not having a serious look into issues that I think affect this country. I really want to urge that when we have such critical Bills, we look critically into them because this is really where we are going to ... view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would of course want to start by congratulating the Mover of this Motion, Mr. Mututho, and from the outset, I support this Motion. I would like to clearly state that my reason for supporting this Motion is mostly because I would like to debunk this myth that exists in this country that land is the most crucial issue and that without solving it, we will never solve the problems of this country. During the beginning of this year when we witnessed the post-election crisis and subsequently during the consultations that have ... view
• 7 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. I want to start by acknowledging that this Ministry has gone through a rather difficult year. We know that it started with the issues of exam leakages, went into the post-election crisis and, of course, the school strikes. So, it is with that background that I want to contribute. I would like to start by saying that I do recognise the role of the Minister and the officials of the Ministry of Education in trying to deal with the problems. That is because we know that education is one ... view
