• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mr. Ruto raised a point of order that is of far much importance to us in the House and yet, Mr. Mungatana purported to answer it on your behalf. Was he in order to do that? The point of order was raised directly to you, the Chair! Would I, therefore, be in order to suggest that Mr. Mungatana’s suggestions be completely erased from the HANSARD for the purposes of this discussion? view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, it is a historic occasion that will be remembered either for boosting the morale and interest of development of our people in Kenya or demoralise and subject some communities of this country into oblivion. Yes, the Constitution has been designed and carefully so by lawyers and able people, referred to as a Committee of Experts. It aims at reducing imperial powers of the Presidency as we have all known since Independence. But this proposed Constitution should not be used as a document of oppression to minorities and marginalised communities in this country, with a ... view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, population increase is a demographic factor and it is exponential. This document has many clauses and articles that need to be relooked into. I pray that this House becomes wise enough to see the details that lie in these statements as being derogatively oppressive or totally inconsistent with what the Kenyan people want. I beg to quote some of these issues from the same book. view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this document says those holding offices of power; I believe Presidency or leadership either before or currently are barred from contesting the next election. It sounds nice. However, remember we have a National Accord. This National Accord was signed a few months ago by the two Principals. It says the President and the Prime Minister will share power equally. This power sharing deal is embedded in the current Constitution. This document as it is, accept it or not, bars the Prime Minister from contesting in 2012. I am not a lawyer, but that is the ... view

• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a precedent is being set in this House where a Member of this House can argue on an instruction given from the Chair on the interference of collective responsibility by Ministers. Are they in order to doubt the information given by a Minister who is very much well informed on collective responsibility or doubt the order of the Chair that he is competent? view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I have no immediate plans to tarmac Mulutu-Ikutha, Kithimani-Katangi and Katangi-Kwa Kilui roads. However, I am in the process of finalising the road sector investment programme that will be used to identify and prioritise the roads for upgrading to bitumen standards, his areas included. view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, no, I am not. I am only dictated to by the availability of resources for the whole country. I have considered doing certain parts of the roads as follows. Road E709, which is from Kalulini to Ikutha and Kalulini- Makutano. It is about 40 kilometers and I have allocated it about Kshs2.4 million this year for grading and gradient works, while Makutano-Ikutha Road has been allocated Kshs612,000. The Kathimani-Katangi Road, that is in Yatta District, classified as Road E488--- view
