• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to answer my brother, Mr. C. Kilonzo, that the land we are talking about Del Monte is in Thika in Central Province. You might have another Del Monte elsewhere outside Central Province. view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my brother wanted to know the number of privately owned parcels of land in Central Province. I categorically gave the list. He has now come up with the question whether I have a formula to settle the landless. You see that this a different story. The truth of the matter, if I may continue, on the land I have given is that these are private parcels of land and the Government can never compulsorily repossess them. view

• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to support this Motion. The fact that I am saying that this House should adjourn does not mean that I do not agree with the Opposition. I agree that you should go and form a Grand Coalition Opposition. That is true! Every vehicle needs brakes. That, again, is the truth. However, the truth of the matter is that we need to go home to meet the electorate so that they can tell us what to do here. Since we had the 2007 General Election, we did not have the ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of work! We need to go village by village to be told by the public what they expect of us. If we do not adjourn, it means we have to travel on Friday. When you travel, for example, to Bungoma, like is my case, you reach there very tired and yet on Saturday you are supposed to be on your way coming back to Nairobi. On the same Saturday, you will be expected to attend a funeral. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, surely, those who come from far like me and the rest, ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I pray that my friends allow us to go and share the little money that we have made. We need to take the money home so that our people can also eat. Even now, I have seen a lot of invitation cards for home-coming ceremonies. This is a good chance. Why do you not go home and make a home-coming ceremony and invite me so that I can get an opportunity to see where you come from? It is the same way I am going to organise a home-coming ceremony and invite some of you who ... view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The International Crimes Bill be now read a Second Time. As is stated in the preamble, this Bill is to make provision for the punishment of certain international crimes, namely, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and to enable Kenya to co-operate with the International Criminal Court (ICC), established by the Rome Statute in the performance of its functions. So, basically, this Bill is about domesticating the Rome Statute under which the ICC was constituted. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we talk about the world being a global village. It is, indeed, becoming ... view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Under the Rome Statute, the ICT after a ratification by 60 countries, established the court and commenced its jurisdiction. The 60th ratification was acquired on 11th April, 2002. The Treaty now formally entered into force on 1st July, 2003. By the end of December, 2000, 139 countries, had signed the Treaty. Kenya had not only signed it when it was adopted, but we ratified it on 15th March, 2005. Therefore, by the mere fact that we have ratified this Rome Treaty, we are, as a State, under an obligation to domesticate the Treaty, so that it has a force of ... view
