• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Apart from the fact that the Minister knows very well that he has flouted the law, Cap.224 and definitely trying to use bush law, is he also aware that the Maa community have not been consulted and whatever they intend to do is going to be forced down their throats, which is undemocratic? Is he also aware that--- view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that the people of the Maa districts that he intends to partition are saying that it is not for their well being, but for the well being and opening up avenues for other people to come and loot and grab their resources? view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of the foregoing, could the Minister admit in this House that the only employment the Government has created for the last three years has been by way of some Permanent Secretaries and Ministers sacking CEOs and replacing them with their brothers and sisters? view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to support the CDF Report. This is a very important debate because it is being done for the first time I would say and it is not a wonder for 100 years, that the marginalised areas, the drought-afflicted areas, the people who are left behind, including by the colonialists, have felt that the resources have been fairly and equitably distributed. It is true that these areas until CDF came, had been forgotten and marginalised. They have been areas which had been peripheral but for the first time CDF ... view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank hon. Lesirma for bringing this Motion to the House. It is very relevant. It is proper to bring this Motion here now because of the insecurity that is spreading all over northern Kenya and in areas like Laikipia and Samburu Districts. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, pastoralists living in arid areas have been discriminated against for the last 100 years by the colonial government and the successive African Governments. They have been discriminated against, marginalised and completely forgotten. If you look at how ... view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: They have done that in Uganda and Ethiopia. Why is the Kenya Government not keen to use the Army to protect our people from external aggression? We are wondering what the people across the border feel about the Government. Those citizens in Marsabit and Moyale feel that they do not have a Government. They say they are not being protected. That is true. The Government must take action otherwise the people will start complaining that they are not being protected. That is the worst thing for any citizen to believe. The awareness of the people of this country is so ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, considering the insecurity in places like in Samburu, Laikipia and on the borders of Marsabit and Moyale Districts, could the Government tell us what it is doing to protect the people of these areas? It looks as if it is incapable of protecting the citizens of this country! view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to say very clearly that truly, this country is in a crisis. We have had drought, famine and hunger and we are still nursing their effects up to now. Hunger has killed scores of our people including women and children like never before. We have corruption that is entrenched in every sector of this economy. It is a morass that we cannot get out of. It is very difficult to get out of this morass. Some people are saying that our economy is growing. What is growing when 60 ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to be careful not to cover up some of these grievances of the Kenyan people under the cover of security. We were all treated with the television cameras and everybody saw white faces there. Could the Minister deny that these people were there? We all saw these people. view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what is before the court and what is not. I am talking about the mamlukis . This has become a very big issue. The Minister cannot deny that this was a tribal cabal which planned and designed the raid to the Standard Group. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are told that, that tribal cabal clique--- view
