• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is a further clarification in respect of women of Islamic faith who are also required to cover their heads. Could the Minister clarify in the same vein as he has for the nuns, whether they will be required to strip off their headgear because a number of them have been turned away? view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the TJRC was formed, many Kenyans were pleased. We thought we would go the way of South Africa. We were very bitterly disappointed. The TJRC became a mockery, a joke and a battle ground for selfish gain. It wasted nearly one year arguing over whether the Chairman should step down or not. The Vice-Chairlady actually stepped down. The Chairman did not have the confidence of his own Commission and yet, the lords of impunity allowed him to stay there. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have known the Chairman all my life. I pleaded ... view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Okay. However, it is a clarification, but I will take your guidance. view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, I will take your guidance. However, I want to make a clarification. view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I never said lots of people. I said lords of impunity. I had no intention of maligning any member of the TJRC and I want to repeat that I have great faith in the TJRC, except for one. view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that justice delayed is justice denied. Justice has been delayed. You can quote the South African case, the one in Rwanda or the other one and say that for the same reason, we should extend the term of the TJRC. I think it is actually taking this a bit too far. However, bearing in mind that we have no choice; and bearing in mind that the results of the TJRC report should have been there to inform the public and the leaders on the way we should have done things and the ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Trade:- (a) whether he will review the Scrap Metals Act (1959) which has since been ineffective in monitoring and regulating the scrap metal industry; (b) whether he is aware that metals of different types are being exported as scrap metal mainly to India and China and yet these countries have banned exportation of the same; and, (c) when the Ministry will ban exportation of scrap metal. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the Minister for the answer. However, in the answer, the Minister admits that there was a one-off approval given by the Ministry of Finance, and that the exportation of scrap metal is prohibited. However, as I speak at this moment in time, exportation of scrap metal is still going on. Is the Minister aware that the one-off approval might have been misused by unscrupulous scrap metal dealers to continue exporting some of these valuable scrap metals abroad? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister has clearly told us his frustration. Even this Question has bounced between four Ministries. The Minister is aware that under the Counterfeit Act, a cross-ministerial authority was set up. The authority of prosecution--- view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is the question. I am putting it forward because this has caused a lot of problems. We do not want it to keep bouncing. Could the Minister assure this House that his Ministry is going to review the Scrap Metal Act so that, in future, the responsibility and the prerogative remain with the Ministry of Trade and not split between four Ministries? Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally - and this is very important--- view
