• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the offer of the hon. Assistant Minister. I think he has also confused this Eastleigh with the other Eastleigh when he view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I had not read the newspapers early this morning and, when I was walking here, I could see some strange looks from people looking at me as a Member of Parliament for a Nairobi area. I think the Ministers do really need to clarify the fact that they were trying to silence us when we were speaking for the poor people of Nairobi, many of them who have been affected by the demolitions. I think many of them want us to be silent on these areas where they are demolishing houses illegally all ... view

• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was wondering whether I would have the opportunity to ever speak on this issue. I would like to join the others in raising my voice in condemning of what had happened. I was hell-shocked to view the pictures of the demolition. The sheer brutality, the sheer inhumanness of it is something I thought had no place in the Kenya of today. It reminded me of when I lived in Southern Africa, when the apartheid system went on with the act of demolishing African houses to clear places for the rich white and ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I also want to say that although this was seen on television by many people and it shocked many of us, it is something that happens in Nairobi everyday; it happens in the slums of Nairobi among the poor and the marginalized people of Nairobi. The only difference is that this is done in the darkness of the night and it is not seen on television. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I think it is shocking to live in Kenya today, where we have no consideration for others. We have total contempt for poor people from the poor areas of Nairobi. I would like to say that our Government should think very hard about this and know that these people are human beings, they need to be respected and their rights must be considered under the Kenyan Constitution. view

• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to say that the roads in Kamukunji had been in an appalling state long before the rains came. I also wanted to comment on the second answer that was given by the Assistant Minister, that he is not aware of the repairs and the upgrading that was done, given the fact that, in fact, 1st Avenue was built by a Chinese company and the 2nd Avenue was upgraded by a Kenyan company, and within a very short time, both roads have fallen into disrepair. This is one of the reasons why I ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I would like to ask the Assistant Minister when he expects Bundia Association Consultants to submit its report on the improvement of roads in Eastleigh. The second question that I would like to ask him also is how much money the Ministry is spending on the upgrading of 2nd Avenue, and when that road will be completed. I also wanted to know when the Ministry will be issuing the tender for the busy 2nd Avenue, which the Assistant Minister has said is likely to be repaired. What plans are there to upgrade, or repair, the roads around the key economic ... view
