• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of this serious implication on security matters, I wonder whether the hon. Member can produce any minutes of the discussions or Press reports. They can then come and discuss them with you. This issue should not be dismissed and taken lightly. It is alleged that plans are under way to wipe out an entire community the Mungiki style. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since yesterday I have been listening attentively and I noted that some hon. Members of Parliament are really commending the Ministry of Health for what they term as achievements. I personally doubt whether this is true in all parts of this country. It may be true in some parts like where the hon. Minister comes from and other privileged and favoured areas of this country. Although I do not want to debate very much on the matter, it is worth noting that areas like Ijara District which was created six years ago and its health centre ... view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Ijara is 200 kilometres away from Garissa. Last year, for three good months, the roads were impassable. The Government had to do air-dropping. Even fixed-wing aeroplanes could not land in any of the airstrips. We cannot expect a patient to be driven on such roads for 200 kilometres. The nearest place we have is Tana River District Hospital which is about 16 kilometres. We have to cross Tana River using a canoe. I remember one time the MOH's boat capsized and he was almost eaten by crocodiles. Can anybody really stand here and say that ... view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to advise the hon. Member that they should not keep dead people in the mortuaries. They should bury them immediately like Muslims. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, is aware that the only polytechnic that we have in North Eastern Province is the one in Garissa. It serves Ijara, Fafi and other constituencies which do not have village polytechnics. Are they included in this programme? view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) whether he is aware that Kenyans of Somali descent visiting Tanzania are frequently subjected to arrest and detention particularly over the past six months; (b) whether he is further aware that the Immigration Department in Tanzania imposes the words " persona non grata " on the passports of the arrested Kenyans making it impossible for such person(s) to travel with the same passport; and, (c) what steps he is taking to stop these arrests. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is interesting that today we are being told that they are aware. Nonetheless, I feel the answer is negative and collaborative with the authorities in Tanzania. We are not asking the powers and authorities of a sovereign state this Question. In the spirit of the East African Community (EAC), is it in order to defile the passports of these gentlemen? Since the words "persona non grata" have been stamped on their passports, they cannot travel anywhere else in this region. Is the Assistant Minister in order? view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister clarify whether the Kenya Government is taking care of the interests of its own citizens because these people did not commit any crime? Apart from being expelled from Tanzania, their money was even taken away. Could he tell us what this Government is doing to ensure that Kenyans are not mistreated in Tanzania and other East African countries? view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sorry my brother is making the same mistake. In my letters, I reported that money was taken away from them. Where else can I go to report again? Is he in order to say that I report this theft to the relevant authorities? view
