• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Going by the presentation of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, he intends to do a lot of improvements in this financial year and beyond. There is need for this country to develop a large wholesale vegetable market just like China. For those of you who have visited such a huge country like China and have gone to Juan City, you must have seen a very huge vegetable market which attracts farmers from all over the country. In Kenya, we would be attracting our neighbours to bring their produce to our country. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: For us to destroy the waste that is choking our cities all over--- If you fly over Nairobi, you will see that the whole City is full of garbage and waste materials. If there could be a way of recycling that, then definitely, we would be living more healthier than we are now. If you go to all the trading centres in this country, you will see plastic papers littered all over. Our efforts to fight the mosquito menace are being defeated because when it rains, the water is retained in those plastic papers for a longer time than the ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The information about the missing soldiers is as follows: (i) Number 13021, Senior Private Sammy Mulawa Muia, belonged to the Corps Transport Headquarters Company, and not to the Artillery Brigade as the Questioner has stated. He went missing from his place of duty on 6th June, 2005 while on attachment to the Kenya Rifle Association team at Athi River, Stony Athi Rifle Range, as a cook. Investigations were done to ascertain the circumstances under which the serviceman absented himself from duty without official leave and it was found that he did so ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that. It would be very strange for people to disappear for seven years. Even if the officers have not been co-operating, the lost officers have not been serving under them. I do not think that is the issue. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have said, I am not aware of that. The hon. Member can give me that information; I am prepared to deal with it. Forget about those officers he is talking about. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot at this stage say that I will consider that. Suffice it to say that, if we follow the law, their families will ask the Attorney-General to presume that these soldiers are dead, and then they can claim compensation from the Government. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to say that he is also a son of a soldier at that time. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the outset, I want to applaud my brother, Amb. Mohamed Affey, for having the foresight of bringing this Bill to the House to do away with the Indemnity Act, which has been in existence for several years. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate, and this law should have been repealed yesterday or in the yesteryears but not today. While hon. Members have the right to complain about atrocities, which are acts committed by the security forces, I would rather put the blame on the leaders of those days, because they were ... view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: We are talking about the injustice that was done to our brothers during the struggle for Independence. This matter is now going to court in the United Kingdom. It is very unfortunate that while we talk about reforms in this country, we forget that some of the reforms should have started with removing this kind of draconian law, that discriminates against citizens of this country, from our statute books. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that a lot of injustices were done during the colonial time. Those were people who ruled this country without the mandate of the people of ... view
