• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief because I can see that this is an issue which has a lot of interest. Since I had spoken a bit earlier, I am not sure that the Minister wants to keep hearing my voice today. I want to say that this is a very ambitious Bill. When I say that it is ambitious, I am saying that I thought intelligence gathering was just intelligence gathering. I do not know how police work and warrants of arrest come in. This is a very ambitious Bill but we will ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs regarding the alleged assault on Mrs. Karen Njeri Kandie, a Finance Director at Shelter Afrique by the Managing Director of Shelter Afrique, Mr. view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope I can be heard now. I want to start by supporting the list of nominees for the Commission. I want to speak about three things, two of which have been canvassed. One is on the issue of tribe and tribe being a factor on this list of commissioners. The second issue I am going to speak about is the unfortunate remark about one of the commissioners. The issue of historical injustice on land has been centered on communities for a very long time and maybe that is the reason why we have been ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want us to be very fair to ourselves and this House because what we say here is covered on national television. The point of order I want to raise is because three distinguished Members of Parliament have spoken here about the unfair treatment or the unjust work that the Committee has done. Would I be in order to ask the Committee to clearly explain to us how they deliberately connived to leave out a member who had applied from the Maa community and the reasons which they used to justify ... view

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to beg you not to turn this House into a circus like we have done in the last few days. It is a very simple question. We want to see the Printed Estimates. We do not want to see a corrigendum. We also do not want documents that the Minister is walking around with that hon. Members are not privy to. He is agreeing with the process. So, if he is agreeing with the process and if they are in his office, send for them. We are here in the afternoon. But we will ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point or order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we owe due respect to our colleagues who passed away recently because it is through their pronouncements that this issue came to the Floor of this House. The Government now, with all due respect to Mr. Kimunya, is obviously hedging on this issue. It is out of due respect for those colleagues that the Government must come clean. It is out of respect for those colleagues and this House. Knowing how sensitive this issue is; knowing that hon. Members in this House were mentioned; knowing that there is information ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support what hon. Mbuvi has said, I have brought to your attention - and I am sure it is in front of you - a Motion to form a Select Committee. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stand here, I have a lot of information. But I want to provide this information under the safety of a Select Committee of this House, following the rules and guidelines, because of the sensitivity of the issues which we are talking about. Hon. “Sonko” has enumerated some of them. But mostly because of threats to people’s lives--- ... view
