• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister also confirm that these are not the only cases that have come to our attention? There have been similar cases before, where even some of the reported cases have been executed. What steps is he going to take to dig into this so that we can have all the information on the past incidences of this nature in China? view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister is admitting that since Independence, the Ministry has not been doing its work. He is talking about double allocation. It is the same Ministry that does the allocation. view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue of issuance of title deeds, I would like the Assistant Minister to assure this House that they are going to be proactive. It is not only this settlement scheme that is affected. Even in Maragoli Hills, people are living on ancestral land, and they do not have title deeds. Could he assure this House that they are going to be proactive and issue title deeds, instead of forming task forces every now and then? view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want a clarification from the Minister as to whether after the stadium is renamed, it will not revert to its original name after sometime. I am saying this because--- view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to give her some information so that when she is responding, maybe she can take that into account. Large clubs like Arsenal in the United Kingdom have surrendered the name of their stadium. The Government of Kenya cannot manage sports. They had to change the name of the stadium to Emirates. Finally, the Minister has made a very good Ministerial Statement. However, if we politicise sports, then we will not make it. The image of the former President was on the currency notes but they have got rid of it and reverted back ... view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks ago, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security about the circumstances surrounding the accident in Kapsabet. At that time, Mr. Ojode promised that the Ministerial Statement would be issued the following week which was last week. Again, last week I was promised that the Ministerial Statement would be forthcoming today. So, I would like the Assistant Minister to issue it today. Mr. Ojode is there and also the Minister was here a while ago. view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oblige, but this is the third time. I just want you to know that this a third extension that the Chair is granting. view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Mr. Mbugua in order to mislead the House? Mr. Nguyai is not the substantive Minister for the Local Government. It is the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Mudavadi who is the Minister! view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Motion. The proposal by Mr. Mungatana should cover a larger scope than what we are talking about here. We are talking about leadership. We are assuming that the Ministers or constitutional office holders we have today will be permanent in those jobs. Tomorrow, I could become the Minister for Education and Prof. Ongeri would go home with all that training. Since I have been an Assistant Minister before, I believe that it is necessary to widen this to cover leadership. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: The definition of “leadership” is not about only those who are appointed, but those who have distinguished themselves as leaders in every group. Dr. Eseli has made a very good point here about the devolution and the changes we are trying to make at the grassroots. We will identify leaders from the grassroot level. If we will put in place the Bomas Draft with the few changes that we will implement, we will have leaders at every level. This is a very important Motion, but it is more than what the hon. Member had in mind. view
