• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion and more specifically, I wish to speak about one Hon. Patrick Mariru. This is one gentleman who is a professional and up to the task. He is the immediate Speaker for Laikipia County Assembly. I am the immediate Speaker of Kericho County Assembly. He was my colleague. I will say everything nice about Hon. Patrick Mariru. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: As said by the Member for Gatundu North, Hon. Mariru steered Laikipia County Assembly to greater heights. He was ranked the best performing Speaker in this country. I was the second one. Therefore, I was not really bad as I came second after Hon. Mariru. In all honesty, this is a person who fits the bill. He will bring in fresh ideas to the Chairperson’s Panel. The other Members, Hon. Jessica and Hon. Omulele, were sitting in the Chairperson’s Panel previously and they have the experience needed for the job. I am sure with Hon. Soipan coming on board and ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Mariru is a calm and collected individual. The Member for Laikipia West was in the County Assemblies’ Governing Council. He was an imminent Member and a resource person who steered and assisted us at the inception of the county assembly. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for seeing to it that, at least, a representative from the county assembly got a position in the Chairperson’s Panel. He is an imminent lawyer and currently doing his PhD. He has vast experience in the business of the House and in the legal profession. I am confident he will do ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I support the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise in support of the Motion by the Leader of the Majority Party. At this juncture, this country of ours is at crossroads. The election was held on 8th August 2017. The persons who feel aggrieved are the NASA fraternity. However, as the Jubilee fraternity, we have the opinion and we strongly believe that there is no vacuum in this country. The provision of the Constitution is very clear that the sitting President will become a President until the next one assumes office. The elections done on 8th August 2017 were invalidated and as such ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: presidency is a symbol of national unity. Nobody has any right to demean that office of the presidency. Hon. Babu Owino the Member for Embakasi East used unpalatable language. As a country, we ought to be fostering unity. We need to speak in one voice. We are all brothers of the same father called Kenya and we need to speak in one voice. On the repeat Presidential election that is to be held on 26th October 2017, we believe we have the numbers to win it and that is beyond question. What we are concerned about is that our brethren ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to comment on the issue of the UN supervising the repeat presidential election, as raised by the Member for Yatta. The Hague was provided for in law, but the issue of the UN taking part in our election processes is not provided for in any part of the law. Therefore, as the Jubilee fraternity, we cannot allow anything that is outside the confines of the law as we believe that an election ought to be conducted within the confines of the Constitution and the law view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, first and foremost, let me take this chance to thank the lovely people of Bureti for giving me a chance to come and represent them in this honourable House. view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Secondly, let me commend His Excellency the President for a well thought out Speech. It told us all about him. His Excellency the President is a Statesman. He means well for this country. He had the opportunity and the means to take this country through the route of anarchy, but he chose otherwise. When the decision of the Supreme Court was delivered, he had the opportunity and means, as the sitting President, to turn his eye away from that ruling and overlook it completely. Indeed, that would have taken us to anarchy, but because he means well and he loves ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: His Speech to this honourable House was an excellent one. He reminded us of the oath we took which states in part that we are to obey, respect, uphold, preserve and defend the Constitution. His Excellency the President reminded us once again that from Mombasa to Malaba, we are all one irrespective of the geographical locations where we were born, where we live or ordinarily reside. The love of Kenya should be paramount. After the Supreme Court decision, some sections of this country feel more offended than the rest. That should not be the correct position. We all feel offended ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The race on 17th October 2017, as the President rightly put it, will not be between Baba and himself. It is not about Raila Amollo Odinga and Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. It is the people who will decide whether it is Baba who has a safe pair of hands or Hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. This is a person who has been tried and tested. Kenyans have seen his able hands. His are a safe pair of hands that we can entrust the destiny of Kenyans. I have witnessed families in my backyard praying for Hon. Uhuru day and night for the ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: In his Address, he stated that his more serious obligation is to ensure that there is security without any exception. All of us have a moral obligation and duty to ensure that we achieve that. Today, we witnessed some unrest. Where are we heading to? Is that a safe pair of hands that we want to bestow the destiny of this country? I can see time is almost over. All the same, I want to thank the President for his Speech. I also thank the people of Bureti. Thank you very much. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
