• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since the hon. Members is notorious for raising frivolous points of order, I think he should, probably, be educated on the Standing Orders! With those few remarks, I beg to support. 1212 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 9, 2007 view

• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a pity that the Assistant Minister is denying the harassment that was meted out to Mr. Moses ole Sakuda in the stadium. Evidence shown by the people themselves shows very clearly that, it was a direct harassment by the police. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whatever actually happened, this is an election year. Therefore, could the Assistant Minister assure this House and the nation that he will ensure that all aspirants to parliamentary and civic seats are given democratic opportunity to play their own game without harassment by the Ministers, just because they have panicked? view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that we are ending this debate when we are just a few of us on this side. Some hon. Members are, probably, still taking their tea leisurely out there. They might have wanted to contribute to this very important Motion. April 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 755 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a reason to say that I was member of that Committee, but only partially. What happened is that, after the General Elections, and after some of us fought very vigorously to get this Government in ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to seek some clarification from the Minister. What is happening in Tharaka is very unique. This has come about because the Government has been moving round the country, and creating districts without consulting the people. The whole of this mess is as a result of that. What we have seen is only the tip of the iceberg. We could see more of such cases as the Government continues to impose on the people new district boundaries. The other point--- view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was seeking a clarification. The district boundaries are entrenched in the Constitution of 1963. If you have to change district boundaries as I know, then you have to come to this House to amend the Constitution. Give us clarification on that issue. view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the ACP-EU JPA. This is a great idea; that nations from Africa, Caribbean and the Pacific have come together to form a parliamentary assembly to decide and plan for their economic, political and environmental welfare. Although the whole report is very complex, multipurpose and multicultural, I think it is very important to point out that certain aspects of this Report and the ACP-EU JPA are very important for Africa and for East Africa in particular. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have read the ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: But, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a conflict, like what is talked about in this Report. This is not the only conflict, it is a question of whether the Government is really ready to tackle these problems, and whether they are apt to do it again. I have said earlier that it is a question of Government ineptitude. For example, the Tharaka-Imenti problem is as a result of the so-called "creation of districts". I am talking about conflicts, which is in this Report. If anybody gets a little bit scratchy on the side, then he should know that ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have talked about April 11, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 557 ineptitude, unwillingness, and the readiness of the Government to tackle these conflicts. This issue has come out because of the so-called intention to create new districts. Truly, there are so many conflicts, including in Gatundu, Garissa and everywhere else. We have a very bitter conflict in Narok right now because some people want to grab the Maasai Mara, and we are saying: "No, this is a resource which the Maasai of all sides have shared for the last 60 years". The question is: ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was trying to support my case of ineptitude and total unwillingness of the Government to stop conflicts in this country. This report talks about conflicts and we have to talk in isolation about this. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have been talking about water just now. Water is a very important component in the ACP Assembly. This is true. It is simple and clear. No human being can live without water. It is only second to the air we breath. Let us look at the way we have been destroying our ... view
