• 3 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have just heard what hon. Shebesh has said; that the voting machines--- I thought that there are only Members of Parliament in this august House. I am looking for machines and I cannot see them. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that ruling and guidance. But I want to seek your guidance on another issue. That is because we seem to be our own worst enemies. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you recall that every time there is a hot issue in Parliament, Members of Parliament go to the media and state that money “passed” hands. When you ask them: “Can you give evidence?” They say: “I was told. I heard.” What do we do to view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: those Members of Parliament who are actually maligning this Parliament? They are bringing this Parliament into disrepute and yet, when you ask them for evidence, they say: “I was told. I heard.” What do you do to those Members of Parliament because they are the ones who are destroying the good name of this Parliament? view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not aware of what happened between my Assistant Minister and hon. Kiema Kilonzo. But now that I am seized of the matter, I will handle it.

• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to support that deletion. It is not that we are doing away with the rights of women and children and others. We are basically saying that this is already provided for elsewhere. This Parliament has been on the forefront in protecting the rights of women, children and other vulnerable groups. Therefore, that is insinuation that we are deleting them because we do not want to support those rights is not correct. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that it is possible to reconcile the two provisions. I was just looking at what is missing in the new clause that has been suggested by the Chairman of the Committee. What is missing is the inclusion of other relevant bodies of the Government. So, if we take the Minister’s proposal and only go for parts “a” and “b”, and look for a place and say--- If you look at Clause 148 (A), it says:- “There is established a Fund to be known as the Land Settlement Fund which shall be administered by ... view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you add, say, “b”, that is, “five other trustees who shall be representatives of the Ministries responsible for Lands, Finance, Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources and Special Programmes,” then you actually reconcile the two. The one for the Chairman is more exhaustive. What the Minister is saying is that he wants other relevant arms of Government to be involved in the administration of this fund. So, if you include part “b” of the Minister’s amendment, then in effect you reconcile the two and there will be no contradiction. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me also take this opportunity to thank the Minister, his staff and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources and his staff for a job well done. I think they have tried their best to balance the views of landlords and tenants. They have done their best to balance the views of the land owners and the landless.
