• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: The Preamble of the current constitution says: “We the people of Kenya- ACKNOWLEDGING the supremacy of the Almighty God of all creation: HONOURING those who heroically struggled to bring freedom and justice to our land: PROUD of our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity and determined to live in peace and unity as one indivisible sovereign nation.” This preamble is not out of the blue. The framers of the current Constitution had in mind what can bring together, under the sovereign Republic of Kenya, the membership of the 42 nation states including the Somali nation state, the Luo nation state and ... view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: I want to amplify something. I plead with the patron of the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG). The era of lamentation is gone. Let us forget about that. The framers of the current Constitution gave us an opportunity to catch up with other Kenyans by providing the Equalisation Fund. It has not been implemented and yet, we are over 105 Members of Parliament in this august House. We need to go back to the drawing board. Let me finish this. We need to go back to the drawing board and deal with it decisively, legally and constitutionally, and with those who ... view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Under the leadership of the PPG, this is a very important issue. We will not allow us to go to the next decade under this marginalisation. I am in receipt of a document. It is not only the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. In fact, irrigation and livestock are not defined. If you go to the Bretton Woods institutions, you will realise that all the funds that are meant - and I want Hon. Adow to hear this - for the disadvantaged regions are diverted by the technocrats. It is not the mistake of the Members of Parliament, but ... view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I remember when I was elected to the 8th Parliament as a young legislator, Members of Parliament were working as if Parliament was an extension of the Office of the President though constitutionally, it was one of the three arms of Government. Hon. Oloo Aringo, for those of us who have been around and worked with him, remember him as a courageous, foresighted parliamentarian who thought outside of the box. And for those of us who were there, we have nicknamed him the ‘father’ of the Parliamentary Service Commission. When I was first elected, my ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As the first alumnus of Moi University to ever be elected to public office, I am shocked, dismayed and flabbergasted to see that giant institution struggling today. We must call a spade a spade. During our time, Moi University was everything in terms of infrastructure and academic excellence. Taking into account the prevailing circumstances at the university, would I be in order to suggest that we form an ad hoc committee to look into this matter? I do not want to pre-empt on what action would be taken, but the matter should not be dealt with ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: once and for all, so that it does not join the league of public institutions that have been run down. Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence so that we can form an ad hoc committee to inquire into this matter. We should deal with it comprehensively, once and for all. Thank you. view
• 8 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, allow me to thank Hon. Mutuse for being courageous and focused. I am sure in the annals of the history of this country and the history of the 13th Parliament, Hon. Mutuse will be appreciated. Having said that, I have also gone through the impeachment clauses. The 11 clauses are cogent, rich in evidence and clearly demonstrate the actions, omissions and commissions of the Deputy President. I have had an opportunity to reflect, because there is one phrase the Deputy President has been using: That he is a truthful man. I went back ... view
• 8 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: save Riggy G from the other members of the Executive, because he is a threat to their continued performance of their jobs. We must also save Riggy G from members of the Judiciary, because he keeps attacking them. We must also save Riggy G from members of the Legislature, because he attacks them. We must also save Riggy G from the 47 tribes, because he keeps attacking them. We must also save Riggy G from the remnants of Mau Mau, because he keeps abusing their names. We must save Riggy G because he abuses our ladies. We must also save ... view
• 24 Sep 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have heard that on 13th September, this month, an elected leader from one of the wards in my constituency was abducted. It is now 14 days since he was abducted. One of the platforms that the current regime campaigned on was that there would be no abductions, no illegal confinement and no extrajudicial killings. I know the Chairperson of the Committee is just a conveyor belt, but that Statement completely lacks substance. It does not allude to the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the missing leader. There are closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs) everywhere in Nairobi. There ... view
• 24 Sep 2024 in National Assembly: It is an official letter, Hon. Speaker. I will give it to you. I will hand it over. You can counter-check. It is official. I am too old to bring anything to this House that is not properly validated. The letter states that the County Security and Intelligence Committee wished to discuss with the MCA issues touching on the security within the Anole Dela Ward. I want to table this document. Taking into account that this is a leaked document, it means that there must have been some issues between the MCA and the County Security and Intelligence Committee. If ... view
