• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Internal Security and Provincial Administration on the circumstances under which the American Ambassador, Ranneberger sent four guards to my house on Sunday, 13th February; armed KK Guards. I happen to be his neighbour. Under what circumstances did he send guards to my house to check, while armed, whether I was in and how my fence is made. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the same time, I would want to request that I be given armed guards in my house knowing that my enemy lives next door. This is a request I have made to the Minister severally. They were in my house on Sunday, 13rd, enquiring whether I was in but what they wanted to do, I would not know. What is it that Amb. Michael Ranneberger sent people to my house to do? view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he wants to tell the House that I have a guard. It is true I have a guard. I am asking for an armed guard at home. The guard who walks with me goes to sleep when I go to sleep. I am asking for a guard for the time being until we find out what it is that Michael Ranneberger wants in my house. Simple! view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and for Local Government:- (a) whether he is aware that Thika Municipal Council does not collect garbage on time at Makongeni Market, thereby exposing traders and locals to serious health risks, (b) whether he is also aware that, despite daily collection of revenue, the council does not use the funds to improve the facilities at the market; and, (c ) when the council will improve the drainage system, which is faulty as a result of the short rains? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true we visited the market in question with the Assistant Minister. Since I asked the Question, the council is now collecting garbage. However, on part “c” of the Question, he should tell the House, what the Council is doing about drainage. Since yesterday, the place is flooded. What will the Ministry do? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that we visited the market with the Assistant Minister. It is true that they have started cleaning the markets but it was quite evident that there is a problem of drainage in that market. I have asked the Assistant Minister what is the council or the Ministry or the two doing together to rectify that. Today, it rained and it is flooded. What is the Ministry going to do in the interim as it undertakes the five or 30 year plan to come up with a standard market? What is it that ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is where we differ with the Assistant Minister. He is talking about six culverts for a whole seven acres of land. How do you drain water in a big market with six culverts? Could they be serious? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is taking this House for granted. Here is a court order that is specific. He is not telling us whether he complied with it or not. Could he tell the House whether he has complied with the court order? If not, why has he varied it? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 22nd December 2010, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security did mention my name, amongst other hon. Members of Parliament, as suspects of drug trafficking. He promised that a report would be tabled in the House within a month. Five weeks later, I rose on a point of order seeking him to give the House that report, and it was said it would be done last week on Tuesday. Last week on Tuesday, again he came here and sought intervention of the House to defer that matter to today. I am ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: This matter has been in the media every day. Our names have been mentioned as suspects every day. This can be nothing else but a conspiracy to keep us being mentioned in the newspapers. Can he table the report? view
