• 29 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: When those amendments come in your sheer numbers and support it because that will secure your life after this august House. I always say, if you come to this place with the assumption that you are a potential former Member of Parliament, you will do well, but if you come here with the assumption that you have arrived at your destination and you are everything, I can tell you that your term will only be five years. All of us are potential former Members. My definition as a serving Member of Parliament is that I am a potential former Member ... view

• 29 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: The bit on voluntary post-retirement benefits is critical and I am glad that you alluded to this. I do not want to mention names, but my brother here, I think he has left…Some of the best brains... view
• 29 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you. By the time they left, the academic world outside there was not willing to accept them. They had lost their flair and popularity as Members of Parliament. What has happened? A number of them are living in abject poverty in Kibera and many other places.

It is incumbent upon us to respect ourselves, the leadership and those we elected. Use the power of the ballot to vote them out when the time comes. Do not abuse them. God does not allow that. There is nothing Islamic or biblical about that. Let us respect leadership so that we can have a ... view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I empathise with Hon. Mohamed Adow for bringing this very important question. Equally, I also appreciate the answer that has been brought by Hon. Yegon. We can see the confused role of a Member of Parliament in this constitutional infrastructure which actually is clouded and does not make any sense at all. We asked a question to the honourable colleague who is disadvantaged because he is denied the right information by those who are tasked with it; that is, the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary. view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: I request Hon. Adow, first of all, to direct this question to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Agriculture so that he comes here and we can direct the question. The Preamble of the current Constitution says, acknowledging the supremacy of the Almighty God. view
