• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to suggest that this Motion be withdrawn, given the fact that the Cabinet in which I belong, the House Business Committee and even the Members of Parliament are divided? We are handling a very sensitive matter. Constitution making is not something that should be rushed through. During the Ninth Parliament, we were rushed through and we never got a new Constitution. I would plead that we withdraw this Motion and come back tomorrow. view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the Motion moved by Mr. Kiunjuri on the basis that we appear divided. We appear as if we have not even made up our minds. There was no proper consultation before the original list was drawn up. We are setting up a Select Committee which will be in charge of constitution making in this country. If we are going to start that job and yet we are not agreeing, we will end up the way the 4166 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 16, 2008 Ninth Parliament ended.

• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, who are these people? I have said that those who lodged their claims have been paid, and if anyone has not been compensated, let me have their particulars and I will look into it. I just hope that the hon. Member is not being taken for a ride by the advocate, whom I personally prosecuted, were found guilty and fined Kshs800,000 but I appealed and the Court of Appeal gave a four-year jail term.

• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the families of the deceased persons were represented by one advocate called M/s K.J. Kinyanjui Advocate, who received a cheque from the Kenya Government of Kshs52,170,300. Out of that amount, he paid to the families Kshs3,832,500. I successfully prosecuted him for having stolen the other money. When the matter went before the court, he actually said that he had paid. This is the amount that he had paid. That means that the balance was pocketed by him. We did not want the families to be deprived of what was lawfully due to them; so, we discovered a ... view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: The way I discovered this was that this was the amount for deceased persons, which is the subject of this Question, but there was another amount for the injured persons, which is not the subject of this Question. I intercepted the second cheque of Kshs23,439,300, having discovered the fraud that was going on. We have dealt with it and we have paid. As far as the amount paid to families of deceased persons is concerned, that is the way we dealt with it. view
