• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Fourteen days are for capital offences only. The police have no right to keep somebody in custody for 14 days merely on suspicion of being a terrorist or not being a Kenyan! If he is not a Kenyan, deport him or charge him for being in Kenya illegally! view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether this Question has been put to the correct Ministry. The roads within national parks and game reserves fall under the Kenya Roads Board Act and under the Kenya Wildlife Service. Is the Question addressed to the proper Ministry? I do not think the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife has the information the hon. Member requires! view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is not really answering the question. In a situation where the council has not put up a fence, no toilet or water, what are the people paying for? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. G.G. Kariuki is moving a very important Report. Could he be allowed to speak from the Dispatch Box so that we can hear him properly? view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry under which livestock falls is also charged with the responsibility of developing fisheries in this country. The Minister is now admitting in this House that he has been in charge of this Ministry for over three years, but he has not been able to bring legislation to deal with fisheries. He is now in injury time because within a short time, he will be going home. Could the Minister agree with me that in the period that he has been in charge of the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development, he has failed to ... view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I would like to pay tribute to the Committee for the work that it has done, which has shed some light on an issue which was fairly opaque to most of us. This is basically because of the manner in which contracts of this nature were handled in the past. When the alarm was raised over the Anglo Leasing scandal, it appeared that a blanket cancellation was effected on a number of projects that had been contracted at that point in time. This project ... view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: We have had several projects abandoned in the past when they were nearing completion in the past. The Molasses Plant in Kisumu is one of them. The project was abandoned when it was 90 per cent complete. We moved in and salvaged it, and it is now working. It is, therefore, a fact that this vessel can be completed. It has also been established that there is need for it. So, the sooner that the Government does this, the better. What we need to do is carry out negotiations, rather than go through litigation. The Government stands to lose a ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to confirm to the hon. Member who is contributing, about the issue of pending bills. When I was a Minister in charge, I appointed a committee to investigate the pending bills. The committee produced a report which I tabled in the Cabinet and as a result, a special committee was set up, led by the former Controller and Auditor-General, Mr. D.G. Njoroge. I would like the hon. Member to know that to date, that committee has not produced any report, yet they have continued to pay some of ... view
