• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support this Bill, provided that after implementation of the county governments and the whole devolution has been done properly through this House, I hope that this Bill will be consistent with the Constitution. The Ministry of Tourism along with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is supposed to manage our principal resources like the Mara Game Reserve and many other wildlife sanctuaries. I will talk particularly about Mara Game Reserve. We have had many problems in Mara which is thoroughly mismanaged. We have many upcoming lodges and hotels inside and outside ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: We have ten minutes! view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute, although I have been standing. I am seated in a corner and maybe you were not able to see me. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the truth of the matter is that the problem of hunger, hungry people and angry people is with us. We cannot avoid a situation where we are directly concerned. We should try to solve the problem now. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday I watched the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance say that the price of diesel and kerosene has reduced but that did not impress the mwananchi . What he should have said is that the price of view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: has reduced by this much; what he should have said is that the price of sugar or the price of rice has reduced by this much. We know petrol affects everything. We must sort out that now. I do not want this situation of people saying “substantiate corruption”. There is corruption in every sector of the economy in this country. It has really done a lot of damage! view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Even on the question of food and maize distribution, stealing is corruption! Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to thank the people of Kenya for having passed this Constitution by a big majority - 67 per cent of Kenyans endorsed the present Constitution. It is great because the 1963 Constitution was never to be. It was abrogated. The Senate was sent home, regional assemblies were sent packing and a wave or a realm of dictatorship came over this country until the other day when we passed this Constitution. It was inequality, dictatorship and it was a situation where democracy was not there at all. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even the Bomas of Kenya Constitution was never to be. It was one of the Vice-Presidents of this country and a few Ministers who came to the Bomas of Kenya and said we should pack and go home because we do not have a Constitution. I want to thank the people of Kenya and God, indeed, for the fact that we now have a Constitution. We have hope of really running this country democratically without discrimination and without other people being treated unequally. We want to bring equality to this country. I am very surprised ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: We do not want chaos from another region of this country to be transferred to another region. We think chaos should end up where they started. Let me say, Mheshimiwa Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that, if we were honest and had no hypocrisy; if people were allowed to return to their shambas, dukas, hotels and garages, we would have dealt with 80 per cent of IDPs. There would be no 80 per cent of the IDPs that we have today. But because people want to use those IDPs to grab other people’s land, the issue will not be settled that ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: They bought those shambas . They took loans to buy them. They have garages. If they cannot run those garages, the Government should give them money to go and run those garages and hotels. That way, we will have a peaceful country. But if you think you are going to harass that tribe called the Maasai tribe--- In fact, we have received news that even the Provincial Commissioner has been saying that the orders have come from up. I do not know about that. I thought we were finished with kule juu, I thought that we passed a new Constitution ... view
