• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no objection. I would only like to add that this matter happened in January this year and we are now in the fourth month. Secondly, I have additional information which will help the Assistant Minister. This gentleman is no longer in Kismayu. I am told he has been transferred to Harar in Ethiopia. The information we have is that Harar is a place notoriously known in Ethiopia as being a bottomless detention pit. So, the Government should move very fast and get in touch with the Ethiopian Government and not Somalia. view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika ninasimama kuthibitisha ya kwamba ninakubaliana na yale ambayo Waziri amesema. Wiki jana mimi nilileta barua tatu hapa Bungeni nikilalamika juu ya Mawaziri ambao hawafanyi kazi vile inavyotakikana. Ninafurahi kuripoti leo kwamba kupitia kwa ofisi ya Bw. Akaranga, Wizara ya Uhamiaji ambayo ilikataa kuandika makarani huko Ijara kama vile ilivyofanywa katika kila eneo Bunge, jana nimepatiwa nakala za hizo barua zote na watu wa Ijara wameandikwa. Kwa hivyo, ninakupongeza na ninakuuliza uendelee hivyo na Serikali iendelee hivyo. view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: in good order. When we went to the Rift Valley, a small hitch occurred, but it was not very serious. The President actually used the same plane to come back to Nairobi. We have since rectified the problem. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika, ninasimama hapa kuunga mkono Hoja hii. Bunge ni pahali ambapo wananchi wa Kenya walituchagua kuja kwa sababu walijua sisi tunaweza kuwaongoza. Hoja hii ni juu ya maisha ya binadamu. Hoja hii inahusu maisha ya watu ambao tunawakilisha hapa Bungeni. Kwa hivyo, halitakuwa jambo nzuri kwa sisi kulaumiana au kutukanana. Ni lazima tuonyeshe ukakamavu kuwa sisi tunafaa kuongoza na kwamba yale mambo ambayo tutazungumza hapa yataleta suluhisho kwa matatizo katika Wilaya ya Mt. Elgon. Bw. Naibu Spika, ni kawaida kwa wazee au watu wowote likitokea jambo kama hili kuulizana swali. Tumesikia ya kwamba haya matatizo yalianza mwezi wa ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa hayo machache, ninaunga mkono Hoja hii. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, nobody supports terrorism and we do not support whatever that gentleman did. If the crime was committed in Kenya, why was he not charged in Kenyan courts? The Assistant Minister says that he fought for the Islamic Courts in Somalia; does he know where he fought? Was he there? Can he substantiate that this man fought and killed some people? If he has killed people here, why can he not be taken to court here in Kenya? Are we not abdicating our sovereignty to other countries? view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister admits to some extent that the floods and drought have affected the pupils and yet he is telling the House that there are various allocations for different items like fire-fighting equipment. Is he not aware that this money cannot re-allocated by the head teachers in those schools? What will the Government do about these children who are not going to school? view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to thank you for having realised, as our leader, that Members of Parliament are really hardworking people. As you rightly said, Members of Parliament are pall bearers during funerals and they are expected to help their constituents to pay school fees and so forth. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, we do not merely stand here to criticise the Government. It is unfortunate that the Government only sees one side of the hand and not the ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, His Excellency the President may have very good intentions. However, I am sad to say that the Ministers of this Government are not for the good of the people of Kenya. This is not a Government for the people, of the people and by the people. It is a Government of meetings and seminars. I will prove this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chair encourages us, as hon. Members of Parliament, to stop raising Questions, but take issues with Ministers. When job vacancies in the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs were advertised, people of North Eastern Province ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: I would, however, like to commend him for dealing with me at the time I went to his office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wrote to the Minister for Energy, Mr. Murungi, on 30th November, 2006, about electricity in Ijara Constituency, but it is a pity that up to today, I have not heard from him. I have visited his office twice, but could not find him. Is this not a sleeping Government? What is the use of us being hon. Members of Parliament, if we cannot access Government offices? How can ordinary people in the streets access them? Mr. Speaker, ... view
