• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I would like you to protect me from--- view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I am one of the 16 Members who are quoted to have voted against this particular Bill. Right now is not the time for me to explain why I voted against that particular Bill. If it comes again, I will, probably, vote “no”. In the interest of being fair, a similar constitutional amendment was brought to this very House within a span of just minutes. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: In the interest of being fair, on the amendment by Hon. Lelelit, you made a ruling that it should be within five sittings. I know that the Leader of the Minority Party will attest otherwise, but you made a ruling that Hon. Lelelit can reintroduce that particular Bill within five days. In the interest of fairness, the Standing Orders give you that discretion. As much as we have wished to declare that this is dead and we wish to resurrect it, we know for a fact that you do not have the powers of prophets to resurrect it, but this ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will request your indulgence for more minutes. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Kenyan athletics team for proving to the rest of the world that Kenya is, indeed, a hotbed of gold medals, and not a hotbed of terrorism. Hon. Speaker, this Sessional Paper is good. I would like to re-emphasize the fact that nothing promotes proper peace building and addresses the issue of conflict more than addressing the underlying issues. The Government and this House need to ensure that the Constitution is properly implemented, so that the issue of ownership ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to go contrary to my colleagues. I do not support these particular amendments. When we come up with laws, we need to understand that they are not for this current Parliament, but will continue for other Parliaments as well. As much as we need to ensure we are protected, when I look at the amendments proposed in this Bill that: “A Member of Parliament is not liable in an action suit in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done in good faith in the lawful performance of a function ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: To save the nation from tyrants who are going to be born, I would strongly request that Members oppose this Bill. If we were to accept this Bill, let us accept it with an amendment to define the word “Parliament”. When that definition comes, does it mean that it is anywhere where HANSARD records are being put in place like the Chambers? Does it mean the precincts of any Committee of Parliament? Does it mean anywhere the Parliamentary Committees meet and it not just a bunch of us who wish to sit down and come up with these kinds of ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I respect Hon. Abdikadir from Balambala. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my words are on the HANSARD. I am at liberty. I have said that this House will end up giving birth to tyrants. I do not know whether other Members here wish to pass this law so that they can be reborn and be reborn as tyrants. But, I stand with my words that if we are going to pass legislation that is going to change the Constitution and that constitutional amendment ends up making Members of this House able to do things on the precincts and they cover themselves under a blanket that no one ... view
