• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I have not heard any Member of Parliament who has insisted that he or she wants to fly the national flag. It is because we are contended with the constitutional roles that we play. Why should there be clamour by other entities to have this very important facility hoisted on their vehicles, while there is no relevance of their jobs with regard to this facility? The new Constitution is a very generous document and the way it is being applied or interpreted is shocking. This Eleventh Parliament, including the Senate, must provide leadership. If we allow all entities to interpret ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to conclude before I call hon. Kamama to second. The passing of this Bill should not be construed to mean that we are denying the governors or any other person the national flag. No. We are asking the governors and all the other individuals who have been using this facility to quickly move with speed and design their own county flag which will be unique for that particular county. That is so that Kenyans also appreciate the uniqueness of that particular county because the counties did not come from the moon. When we divided the ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: It is because of this that I am persuaded - and I know the Senators have almost done the same - that this Bill will bring in a bit of discipline and will ensure that the national flag is only applied in areas and individuals that are consistent with respect and benefit that goes actually to this very important facility. Therefore, once this is done, I am sure the hullabaloos and other cries that we have been seeing will come to an end. That is because the punishment for not complying with this Bill, once it is enacted and assented ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: amendment by the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security just to clarify certain issues. But I am sure that will be moved by the Chairman later on. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, at this juncture, let me ask hon. Kamama to second. Thank you. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of information, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to inform hon. Mbarire. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform hon. Mbarire on one of the points that she has made. There is a Bill that is about to be published on the order of precedence. It is going to deal with protocol issues. This is just a simple amendment. Issues of titles and protocol and how we are supposed to behave in public galleries and wherever else, have been addressed in that Bill. In the next one hour, I will make copies of the Bill available at the main reception, so that hon. Members can comment on it. I am ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon.Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for my good friend, hon. Jimmy Nuru Ondieki Angwenyi, the son of a former chief to say “this side”, while we know that this is a presidential system and we only have one Parliament? We do not have an opposition in this House. Is it in order? view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I stand with great nostalgia to appreciate the position taken by the Leader of the Majority Party, hon. Duale. I was with you somewhere where were told that a crop of politicians would emerge from nowhere and say that they want to erase the history of a certain country and start it afresh. Any attempt to re-write or erase the historical contributions of great leaders like Mzee Moi – who handed over power voluntarily in the midst of many others who had refused to accept democratic transitions – is unfair. The contribution of Mzee Moi must be applauded. ... view
