• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Speaker then took cognizance of the fact that it was a very serious issue and it was a matter of national importance and all the arms of Government responsible for this were to be summoned and that I was to be invited. That did not happen. This is already a flaw. That is why the response we have got here, which I will shortly look at, is really a public relations exercise. That is the furthest it can go. view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I will acknowledge one or two areas where there has been some achievement. It is always good to appreciate the effort. Coming to the points, there is a case where the Government response is that there is no need to declare the situation a national disaster. Is there a disaster? You need to acknowledge that there is or there is not. There is a disaster because it is still an on-going problem. If there is, why not make the declaration? This is a matter we laid before the President when we were invited. It was agreed that this matter be ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: First, in order to enlist the support of Parliament and everybody or all Kenyans in trying to find a solution to this conflict and secondly, in order to attract other donors or well-wishers both nationally and internationally, that is why we sought for this declaration. Unless somebody says that there is no need, the circumstances are such that it is necessary that, that declaration must be made. The reasons given here of austerity measures and running parallel do not hold. view

• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my clarification is that the Chairman is not responding properly to the issues which are raised. There is a disaster and yet, the respondent is saying that there is no need for a declaration. I am saying that this is very serious. He must move with speed and make sure that, that declaration is made. view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: There has been data which has been collected. I want to know whether sufficient data has been gathered on the intensity and extensity of that conflict and he says “yes”. I am saying that, that data has no integrity and it must be checked. That is why it was important for me to be present in this Committee. Therefore, that is the point I want him to rise in that response. He says that the National Treasury has released Kshs397 million. The money has been released to whom because the public has not seen it? He is not serious! Released ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Last time, when I was at the constituency, the public sought to know from me where the money is. We know the President had ordered that, that money be sent so that it can help the people. It has not been seen and I am not able to ask because I was not invited. I want the Chair to declare this response as absolutely inadequate and order them to call a meeting of security apparatus and get me invited. view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is the other issue of the management of that kitty. We agreed, during the search for peace, which is the underlying thing in this process that the Kshs400 million, which is the national Government money, should be put in a kitty where we can also look for donors to participate in this process. It was not done. You can see that it lays itself bare! It says: “Has been released,” but it does not say to who it has been released. If we get to know, then it is better. There is the question of cross-border ... view
