• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very happy to see you. We have been asking for the Speakers we had voted for in this House, because there is a “Leader of Government Business” here, who really interferes with that desk when you are not here. When you and the substantive Speaker are here, he cannot even dare pass here. His name is Amos Kimunya. view
• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not blame this Government, because it is fighting succession battles. Those in the Government are not talking to each other. We are, today, witnessing a Government that has civil servants in it who are engaged in politics; a Government that is creating projects; a Government that is sabotaging heirs apparent; and a Government that is trying to bring in votes from blocks. There is no way we can work with the Government when we can all see what is happening. This House needs to be given the strength to do its work, because the ... view

• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Local Government the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the cooling machines at the City Mortuary have not been working since 9th June, causing great discomfort to the mortuary staff, bereaved family members and surrounding neighbourhoods? (b) Is the Minister further aware that pathologists seconded to the facility withdrew their services due to the stench from the decomposing bodies? (c) What measures will the Minister take to ensure that all cooling machines at the facility are repaired immediately? view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a bit unfortunate because the Ministry does not realize that the City Mortuary is carrying the bulk of those unaccounted view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you keep calling me a name that is shocking many of my colleagues. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is my name and I am very proud of it. When will the Government open its eyes and stop putting its head in the sand and deal with the political problem? As hon. Duale has said, the issue of boundaries is real. It is amazing to hear the Minister say that the Government is not aware of any boundary issues between Garissa and Wajir, unless I heard it wrongly. Is he bold enough to look his colleagues in the eye and say that this is not real? The issue of boundaries is real in these areas ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we come to this House as back benchers, many times, Ministers ask us to ask questions for them. I asked one of the questions on behalf of one of my colleagues, whom I will name, because you have asked me to name names, and this is Maj. Godhana. There was a crisis in his constituency that involved the Minister and the Minister also knows, and I spoke to them. During that time, I also spoke to hon. Nuh and the three of them made it clear to me that this is a political problem. It is ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support but I really want to ask humbly that the Government or the Executive side stops lecturing us all the time when they are coming to ask for time. They should just be more candid and say: “We were squabbling and trying to water down Bills. We are trying to see how we can manufacture Bills.” They should just be honest because it is in the public limelight that you are a divided Cabinet. That is why you waste our time and tell us to come here and sit until 10 O’clock. But ... view
