• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is important 174 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 29, 2006 for hon. Members to respect the law. The law is very clear. There is nothing like an Executive Order. The President has no right to create new districts. It is unconstitutional! view

• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to enlighten the Chair and, probably, also refresh your memory. I was an hon. Member of the PAC then. The previous Report had two recommendations. There was one recommendation which had been made under the chairmanship of the late hon. Odinga. It became recommendation "A" of the Report. When the late hon. Wamalwa took over as the Chairman of PAC, the Committee was made to re-visit the decision. So, in the end, they ended up with another recommendation. So, there were two recommendations; "A" and "B". The House, therefore, moved here to amend the ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee saw it as part of its mandate to re-visit the Goldenberg issue because it had not been conclusively resolved by the House. There was no other resolution in the House thereafter. That is why the point being made here is that the Committee of the House is perfectly within its rights to re-visit a matter which has not been conclusively resolved in the House. view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Minister is responsible to this House. So, he is wrong to refer the hon. Member to his office, when the complaint is against his own officers in the field. You have heard him say that when an incident like that occurs, they hold dialogue with the animals. Could he tell the House which language they use when they are holding dialogue with the animals? The Minister needs to take hon. Members more seriously. He needs to assure the House that he, himself, will carry out investigations in the field and give a proper answer to ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are loud consultations on the other side of the House! view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Kajiado Central has raised a very grave matter, which the Minister is treating very casually. The hon. Member is complaining about sexual harassment of the members of his constituency! Thousands of cattle were killed as a result of that incident. But the Minister is saying very casually that the hon. Member should go and report to his officers on the ground! Those are the same officers that we are complaining about! Could the Minister treat this Question with the seriousness that it deserves? Could he give an assurance to this House that he, ... view

• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When His Excellency the President addressed 23 March, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 61 this House the other day, he said that we would have our time. I guess this is our time. This is the first time that we are debating serious business in this House. I want us to start by congratulating ourselves, on both sides of the House, over the successful conclusion of the referendum last year. view
• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: The referendum outcome showed that we need each other as people of the same nation. It is because of that, that I want to appeal to hon. Members on the other side to recognise the diversity of our nation and that we may disagree on very fundamental issues, but we still belong to the same country called Kenya. At Independence, our founding fathers coined what they called the "Kenyan dream." The Kenyan dream was to create a society that would guarantee freedom, the right of life and pursuit of happiness for each and every citizen of our country. They also ... view
