• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: You are not being vindictive but you are actually fighting corruption. You should then narrow it to an individual who is involved. For instance, if Mr. Kiema Kilonzo, as a politician, has committed a corrupt act, he must face it squarely. That is not politicising it. You are just dealing with corruption. That is basically what I was trying to elaborate on. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Ngugi wanted to know what was happening about--- view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the House debated that Statement. I am sure that there may have been several other aspects of that Statement with which the hon. Member did not agree. While debating the President’s Speech, you can talk and say “I do not agree with this and this” but, ultimately, with those many remarks, I beg to support.” Finally, the Question is put to vote. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Sometimes, Budget Speeches are read here and hon. Members disagree with some of the sections. But, ultimately, the Budget is passed. It becomes an official document of the country. So, I see no contradiction at all. What we are trying to talk about is interpretations of that Statement. I have said that we have resolved, as the Grand Coalition Government, to deal with this issue decisively, as the President said. So, I am not contradicting what the President said at all. I am basically elaborating how we are going to deal with it. We are now at the stage of ... view

Members are required to fill year in, year out, have become like a ritual without much meaning. I agree with him. That is true. It is a ritual because hon. Members, themselves – I do not know whether it is because of their wisdom or ignorance – decided that, that document should not be made public when they enacted that law. It is important that hon. Members re-visit this issue. That is because, unless, such documents can be made public, and it is known that last ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you are reported to have stolen, investigations are carried out and then you are arrested. Therefore, investigation view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the hon. Member was in the House or he was dosing when I was dealing with that question. I did respond to that question. I did not shy away from responding to it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said the Prime Minister is not being investigated by anybody. The Prime Minister is not under investigation! Get that very clear. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that over these issues of suspensions and so on, the hon. Members know the problems that we have had. I said we are discussing these issues within the Grand ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Mungatana had asked about the Leader of Government Business. This issue was a subject of very extensive debate in the House last Session. The Chair made a ruling which was supposed to be temporary. We have had consultations on this issue and I can say that we have not concluded this matter with the President. We shortly are going to write a joint letter to the Chair with regard to the Leader of Government Business in the House. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: With regard to the hon. Member for Subukia’s question no officers who are under investigations are working. The hon. Member for Eldoret East--- view
