• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, nashukuru kwa sababu ya Vivian Cheruiyot, Edna Kiplagat, David Rudisha, Abel Kirui, Asbel Kiprop na Ezekiel Kemboi. Wimbo wa taifa hili letu uliimbwa mara saba katika mji wa Daegu kule Korea Kusini, na bendera ya taifa hili ilipandishwa na ikapepea katika taifa hilo la ugenini. Wahenga walinena kwamba chanda chema huvikwa pete. Kwa hivyo, taifa hili halina budi ila kuvikwa pete ya dhahabu kwa kila moja wa hawa mashujaa wa Kenya, ambao wametuletea heshima kubwa na adhi nyingi kuliko yoyote ambayo tumewahi kushuhudia. Lakini tunapowasifu, ni juu yetu kutufakari na kujiuliza: Ni kwa nini hatuwekezi ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, ni lazima pia tuchukue hatua ya kuweza kuandaa michezo ya kimataifa kama hii. Mara ya mwisho ambapo Kenya iliandaa michezo ya adhi kuu ni mwaka wa 1987, wakati tulipoandaa michezo ya bara la Afrika. Mwaka wa 1999, tulikuwa tumepewa nafasi ya kuandaa michezo ya soka barani Afrika, lakini tukapoteza nafasi hiyo na ikapewa Afrika Kusini kwa sababu ya migororo ndani ya Serikali. Kwa hivyo, ni changamoto vilevile kwa Serikali kuonyesha heshima kwa wanaspoti wetu; inafaa tuweze pia kujitayarisha kuandaa michezo kama hii na kuwekeza katika miendo misingi. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Naunga mkono na natoa heshima kubwa kwa Wanakenya hawa shupavu. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in law, we have the doctrine of double jeopardy. A person should not be taken through odium on the same matter twice. The mere act of a Member of this House losing a seat and having to be taken through the whole process which is quite harrowing, blocking the same Member from seeking or participating in the subsequent elections would amount to double jeopardy or punishment. Again, we know how transient public sentiments can be. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I support the amendment. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to second by making just two points. The first point is that this nominee is one of those persons who, if confirmed to take this position, will project the image of a true Kenyan. This is a lady who, when you look at her profile, you will see that she was born in Budalangi Constituency. In her pursuit of education, she has gone to diverse schools, including Ngandu Girls in Nyeri, University of Nairobi here in the City. When you look at the manner in which she has served this country in whatever ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the final point I want to make is that, as this House considers this nominee and other future nominees, let us focus on the merit of the candidate without unnecessary profiling. At the end of the day, we pick individuals to serve the country. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me just draw your attention to Article 259(1) of the Constitution. It says:- view
