• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is avoiding a very sensitive issue. The facts are bare. Compensation is being paid one and half years later, and the law gives the Minister the position on interest. I am only asking: Could he give the House an undertaking according to the law, and not for illegal interest, that he will pay interest on amounts that are being paid one and a half years later? I am not asking for rocket science. view

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to bring to your attention what you said, that this is a matter between one Member and another Member. There are documents which have been brought to the House from departments of Government, like the Registrar of Companies and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Therefore, it is not really an issue of one Member versus another Member. It is a matter of one Member versus the Minister and departments of Government. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite sad that Kenyans have to lose lives because of illegal constructions. The Minister has said in this Statement that there will be no mercy on people who are constructing illegal structures in various parts of the country. Yet, he knows that in Thika - and I have written to him - there are several four or five storeyed buildings that have not been approved or inspected. They are deaths-in-waiting for members of the public. What is the policy of the Ministry in as far as approvals of the buildings are concerned? What ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have been told here, time and again, about collective responsibility. The Minister has given information to the House that it was between 2003 and 2005 that certain things happened. Has he recommended to His Excellency the President that the Minister then takes responsibility and be investigated? We know that he was not the Minister then. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister wants to give an impression that things are okay. He says Kshs2.2 billion is unreconcilled. It could be stolen or wherever it is. He says Kshs1.9 billion from banks has been sent to schools that, probably, are not known. I would want to urge the Chair to see what Ms. Karua had asked for, a situation where he goes and finds out the exact position in terms of reconciliation of Kshs2.2 billion and authority of Kshs1.9 billion and in which schools. This is Kshs4.2 billion of taxpayers’ money. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yes, I do agree that the Question was deferred yesterday, but it was with three other Questions! view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: So, I seek the indulgence of the Chair to allow the three Questions to appear as the first Questions tomorrow! view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister did say in the House, a few minutes ago, that he, as the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, has taken action by writing to the USA Embassy here and our Embassy in Washington. Would I be in order to ask the Minister to table proof of that in writing? That is because you will remember that, six months ago, the same Minister did say view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: here, on the Floor of the House, that he had written to Ranneberger, the then USA Ambassador, and it came to pass that, that evidence was not brought to the House. Would I be in order to request that? view
