• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support that this Report be tabled and adopted. The ACP-EU august Assembly is an important formation. Although it is never said as such, it is not a loss to us, as Members of Parliament, that this Joint Assembly, by its very formation, is a roundtable engagement of former coloniser countries and their colonies. view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In the larger scheme of things, and especially in this new emerging world order where we are seeing former superpowers falling and weakening while newer superpowers are coming up and rising, the deliberations of the 49th Session of the ACP Parliamentary Assembly could not have been more timely. This is especially in the light of the new era that is dawning that is being popularly called the ‘post-Cotonou era’, where we shall renegotiate the terms of engagement between the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries as relates to the EU and especially in matters to do with trade. Hon. Temporary Deputy ... view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: to end by quoting a Turkish author and playwright, who said that a new world order is not going to be created until we establish an order where the powerful wolf cannot eat the weak lamb. Even as we go into these deliberations between what I called former colonisers and former colonies, I would like to say that we should be negotiating towards a new world order where the powerful wolf will not be able to eat the weak lamb. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for that opportunity. view

• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion by the very able Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. John Mbadi, and as amended by Hon. Millie Odhiambo. This issue is urgent. In fact, it was an urgent matter very many years ago.

It is in this spirit that I look at the matter of Migingo and see it not ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: northern side, the issues of places like Lamu and other areas that we know we are having territorial issues. I am graciously guided by your proposal that I save time on this. I want to say that we have shown a lot of goodwill as a country but our goodwill should not be taken for weakness. We have been made to believe that we have a very robust defence force. As we were granting ourselves a new Constitution, we had decided that we were going to change the police force into a service. However, on the issue of the Kenya ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is a great honour for me to stand here and make my maiden speech in this House. I am eternally grateful. I will take this very early opportunity to congratulate you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for being elected unopposed as the Deputy Speaker of this House. I also take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Justin Bedan Muturi for being elected the Speaker. We are depending on your wisdom and guidance. I take this opportunity to also congratulate my Leader of the Majority Party, the one and only Hon. Aden Duale. I want it to go on record ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: of this country and, we, the Members of this House have to continue passing laws. By that very act, the President proved that even with the presidential re-election campaign, Kenya can chew gum and scale the stairs at the same time. Allow me this last minute to just say a very special thank you to my family. To Wangui Kiarie - the beautiful woman who is my rock, my strength and the mother of my three children - I say thank you. To my seven brothers - the sons of my father and mother - I say thank you. To ... view
