• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to support this amendment, first because I am a Member of this Committee and secondly because I think we like to play hide and seek and pretend that we do not know where we are coming from and where we are going. The inclusion of the President and the Prime Minister which is irritating everybody could easily for me be political parties. I actually was for political parties because this process of elections is not for electing a Pope. It is for electing a President of this country who must come from a political party. ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs on the diplomatic status of diplomats who commit serious crimes in the country. In particular, I would like the Minister to explain what steps are being taken against the Nigerian High Commissioner who is reported to have assaulted his wife and occasioned grievous bodily harm on her. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am addressing it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will accept to have it on Thursday, although the Minister should understand that there is someone who has been injured. I accept that the Government gives its response on Thursday. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just seek a clarification, because it would be very bad for us to live with a feeling that the Government has ill intentions on the implementation of this Constitution. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, excessive and exhaustive consultations have gone on, on this Bill. The CIOC, which I sit in, has looked at it and even hon. Members have their amendments here. Could the Leader of Government Business assure us that it is not the stalemate that we have just created in kamukunji and this is going to be used as a deal breaker, because we are politicians and we know how to read signs? view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have listened carefully to the Minister. I think it is about time that Ministers took a course on what affirmative action means. Affirmative action has not been practised. Selecting schools in places where there have been consistent good grades, and which are easily accessible is not practicing affirmative action. Affirmative action is giving an opportunity to an area where that opportunity currently does not exist, and there is no hope of it existing unless there is a deliberate action. How can the Minister explain why Turkana County has not got any favourable response from ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is aware that his Ministry is expected by the young people of this country to be number one in terms of information disbursement. This is expected to be done even through a website by your Ministry. Does he not think it is about time he avoided answering these questions that keep coming here from Members of Parliament by developing a website where all monies disbursed to constituencies are posted? What intermediaries are used in those particular constituencies? That kind of information which is supposed to be useful to Members of Parliament and their ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has stated that the Member of Parliament for Makadara acted in a way that was not befitting of a hon. Member of Parliament. Could he tell us when the NCC askaris will also start acting like Government agents and not like a rapid response team of the GSU when they are dealing with Nairobi residents? view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister has spoken about a meeting in France on climate change with the Government of France. During the Copenhagen meeting that took place over two years ago, over US$100 billion was promised to African countries before the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol in order to help them deal with adaptation. Could the Prime Minister clarify whether he was able to get some of the US$100 billion which was promised to the developing world of which we know that Indonesia, for example, has greatly benefited from the fund? view
