• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he is aware that Githurai Kimbo Police Station is currently under the Kasarani OCPD instead of the Ruiru OCPD; (b) whether he is also aware that 72 police officers at the police station are assigned duties in Kasarani area, which is outside Juja Constituency; and, (c) whether he is aware that insecurity cases have escalated as a result of the anomaly and what measures the Ministry is taking to ensure the trend is reversed. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the long answer which really does not address the matter. If you heard the Assistant Minister, he said that the station was moved, amongst others, for efficient management of police services. He is talking about efficient services in another area, Githurai 44. He is not addressing the issue of Githurai 45 which is a large area. In fact, it is half of Kasarani Constituency! Could the Assistant Minister consider moving this police station to Ruiru District where we have an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD)? Any crime that we ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this bit was not done because of unanticipated expenditure; why should it take years, from 2009 to financial year 2012/2013? Do they not give priority to projects which are ongoing as opposed to starting new projects? Could he consider completing that section of the road in the current financial year? Why should priority on this bit come two years later? view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support the point of order, I find myself, as a Member of this House, in a predicament due to the issue of the doctrine of separation of powers. This is a matter that has already been dealt with in the High Court. I am not sure how the House, without going through the same process in the High Court, Court of Appeal or Supreme Court, will be able to deal with a decision of the High Court that has already been made. As I support this issue and while you consider that, how do we ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The problem of ESP projects is not unique to Kitui West. We also have a market in Ngoliba in Thika West and since I came to Parliament, after the by-election, that project has been abandoned. What will the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government do to look into this issue, nationwide, to make sure that taxpayers’ money is not wasted in white elephant projects? An example is that of Ngoliba Market. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to ask the Attorney-General, being aware that there are so many people in the Republic of Kenya who have committed various crimes in Kenya and taken a flight to other countries like Dubai, Europe and other places, how many people has this Government been able to bring back here to face criminal charges over the years? view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands when the Government will compensate owners of all the land compulsorily acquired in Juja and Ruiru areas by the Government for the purposes of construction of Nairobi Northern by-pass. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister because he has been in this House for the last three days ready to answer this Question. However, you will notice that the land was acquired by a notice of one year and three months ago. The documents that the Minister has tabled indicate that payments are going on but he has purposely left out the dates of payment. That is because if the dates are indicated as this month, then we will be asking for payment with interest. That is because the law requires that payments are made promptly. ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If the Question is asking when they will be paid, does it bar the Member for Juja to ask why they are being paid one and half years later when the Constitution guarantees prompt payment? Would I be in order to tell the Minister to stop misleading the House that the question I am asking is not relevant to the Question that is being answered? view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister is slightly avoiding the real issue. The issue here is about when compensation will be given; the payment is being made one and a half years later. We have cited the law, Section 10 of the Compulsory Acquisition Act, Cap.295, where the process of acquiring land is defined. In the same spirit, the law provides in Section 8 that payment is prompt. The same law provides that interest is payable. All I am asking of this Minister is: Now, that he knows that payment is one and a half years late, why ... view
