• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Ahenda, you started speaking in English. Could you continue speaking in English? view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Order! You just say what was allocated to Bungoma District. You are beginning to go into trivialities. If you know what was allocated to Bungoma District, just say that it was allocated to Bungoma District. I do not think the Minister allocated the money to himself. view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Ahenda, you have a balance of five minutes. Hon. Members, it is now time for the interruption of business. The House is, therefore, adjourned until tomorrow, Wednesday, 2nd August, 2006, at 9.00 a.m. The House rose at 6.30 p.m. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas access to electricity is important, is there a deliberate plan to target the rural areas that have hitherto had no electricity? view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to seek a comprehensive Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security regarding the issue involving the Police, GSU and Kenya Army officers who raided homes of the Pokot living in Trans Nzoia District and confiscated a total of 495 animals. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question that was asked was defective and lacked details. This Question asked for a few aspects and I want to ask for a comprehensive solution to this matter. As you can see, the Question only asked about where the animals were taken and when they will be returned. Mine is a more involving issue.

The Minister should also tell us why the cattle were given to Ugandans. So, ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I join my friends in supporting this Motion. I understand where the Minister's argument is coming from. I also understand his position of not really putting much focus on statutes and laws.

Members of the public need to know that they have a right to this regard. What, for example, are the basic benchmarks that one looks at on a consumer product and declare it ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you! I must have said something very good. Since I raised the issue of the disappearance of relief food, I can now see that corruption is rearing its head again. I raised that issue and asked: "Where are the journalists who should uncover these things? What happened to them? How come they were compromised on the day the maize 2356 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 disappeared?" I can now see the issues coming up. This is an issue of consumer protection. When a responsible newspaper writes something about you, they should have the courtesy ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very ready for the probe. I am glad that somebody is saying pole to me over that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the Government takes over the Consumer Protection Bill, it should broaden it. It should not just be a Bill on consuming maize, sugar and such products. It should involve the consumption of information, which is the hottest commodity in this country and the world at large. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
