• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to request an answer on a Ministerial Statement that I requested on demolitions. I see the Attorney-General is seated here. Are we likely to get that answer? view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to agree with him. We entered this House almost at the same time and I have a lot of empathy for him. I will give him the extra time. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware of the detention of six Kenyan police officers by Comorian authorities on Saturday, 25th February, 2012? (b) Under what circumstances did these officers end up aboard the MV Squirrel and, subsequently, thousands of miles into Comorian territorial waters? view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that the Assistant Minister has clarified that Tanga is in Tanzania and not part of Kenya, I was not aware that, in fact, our police has jurisdiction to escort vehicles across our borders. Is this usual or--- view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that, in fact, our Government is now in the business of hiring out our own police officers. They can be hired as a gang for hire because I do not understand how our armed policemen could go on a ship across foreign territory without any indication. In this particular case, I am worried that, in fact, they have been used as private security. Why did the ship not hire a private security? Why was it necessary for our armed Kenyan policemen to be used as an escort? view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just think that this is a very serious matter and I am sorry that some hon. Members are trivializing it. It is not just the question of men and women. But it is a serious problem that is affecting the people of Nyeri and other parts of this country; that requires a comprehensive and much serious effort from the Government to deal with, in terms of protecting and providing support for the victims and finding a comprehensive answer. That way, we will overcome the ills that the Assistant Minister has spelt out in his list. That ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given the fact that the KBC is the national broadcaster and that a large population of our country are dependent for their news information on the television and radio stations of this broadcaster, what action has the Assistant Minister taken to ensure that normal broadcasts are not interrupted during the strike because in most national broadcasters, alternative arrangements are made? Strikes are normal and they can take place. It is the right of the workers to go on strike. However, what contingency plans does the Ministry have to ensure that broadcasts reach the populations that ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am asking for your guidance because for quite a number of months, I have been trying to get a statement from the Government on the demolitions that had taken place in Nairobi. This matter has been postponed and, in fact, it appears as if the Government is not interested in responding to that particular question. I wanted to find out what the position on that is. The Attorney- General was expected to give us a statement on the Government’s policy and decision to demolish houses in Nairobi in November. I asked ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had asked for a Ministerial Statement on the demolitions that had taken place in Nairobi in November. I was made to understand that the Statement would have been made on Thursday, which is today, after repeated delays. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General. I just want to remind the Chair that this is a long overdue Statement and I want to be assured that the Attorney-General and the Executive take issues relating to the poor people of Nairobi whose houses have been demolished rather seriously. It is now February. view
