• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is concerned about the sugar war that has been going on in the Government. It is public knowledge that, recently, two Ministers were disagreeing on the importation of duty free sugar. One wanted to bring the importation date forward by one month and the other one was issuing an order against--- view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since this is a very important Question and we still have some time, would I be in order to ask that we have it a second time after going through the other Questions? view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: The Minister has arrived! view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one of the biggest scandals of this Government. These people were, of course, operating in this country through the knowledge of this Government. The gentlemen were given certificates to show that they were Deputy Commissioners of Police. A lot of money was also spent on them. It is public knowledge that even though these guys were supposedly deported to Dubai, they have since come back to this country and they were seen in Mombasa. When it was known, they went to Nakuru and they were staying in the Nakuru State Lodge. This is a ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of the fact that a lot of public money was spent in this exercise and that the President appointed this Commission under the Presidential Inquiries Act, this House has the right to demand that this Report be tabled in this House and be debated. view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to add my voice to that of those who have spoken in support of this Report. I am very happy to note that the issue of the situation in Eastern Africa was discussed at the ACP-EU meeting. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will begin by saying that I am a Pan- Africanist. I am an afro-optimist as opposed to an afro-pessimist. In other words, I believe in the ability of the people of Africa to develop Africa. I have been saying year in, year out that time is gone ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would also like to see the Government of Sudan respect and facilitate the full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that was signed between it and the Government of Southern Sudan. This Government has the responsibility to ensure that the Khartoum Government implements the CPA. I know that they are having difficulties in doing so. 570 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 11, 2007 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country remained very complacent when a very volatile situation was developing in Somalia. We had the Islamic Courts Union and the Transition Government of Somalia. There ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have continued to scratch the surface of that very great potential. We have got comparative advantage in that particular industry. We keep on looking at what we call "sun and sand tourists", and those tourists who come to look at our wild animals in the country. We have not looked at the other potential that we have, such as cultural and eco-tourism. We have not tried to tap the potential that we have in those other areas. We also have the advantage of commercial tourism. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, look at Dubai! If ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the fifth year of the NARC Government in power. It is introducing this policy at injury time. Nothing much has been done for women for last four years. Could the Minister confirm or deny that the appointments that are being made right now, are being made in the very same skewed manner in which all the public appointments have been done since this Government came into power, and that every week the Kenya Gazette is full of women who are being appointed specifically from only one region of this country? view
