• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard the Assistant Minister clearly state, yet again, that according to the Government, no Kenyans have died due to starvation in Turkana. The letter that was written to the chief asked him to explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for gross misconduct. Could he tell us how a chief doing his work and reporting the people who are dying in his area can be termed as “gross misconduct” by the Assistant Minister? view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Assistant Minister to speak about distribution of relief food when the very Minister of State for Special Programmes has admitted that lack of distribution of food was the reason for the crisis that led to many deaths in this area? Is he in order to mislead this House that there was proper distribution of relief food when the Minister herself has said that there was no proper distribution of food? view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Committee debated this issue and in the spirit of encouraging democratic running of parties and not weak governments set up by convenient marriages before an election, agreed that coalitions be formed after an election if a party does not garner enough seats. This was the position of the Committee and we are holding on to that position. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a fundamental issue that I want to raise. These are the amendments of the Committee that we have agreed to come and support in this House, but the Mover for the Committee has already shown that he is not moving this on behalf of the Committee. Would I be in order to ask that we give somebody else the opportunity to move the amendments and that he withdraws from moving the amendments for the Committee because he is not in agreement with it? view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. You have already ruled on an issue. You have sent a Member of Parliament out, I do not know for how long. Is it in order for the hon. Member to come back here and speak about the same Member whom you have sent out? view
