• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of information, hon. Speaker, Sir. I also thank the Majority Leader for accepting the information. It is important that we also understand what constitutes the functions of different entities of the Republic of Kenya. The work of NIS is to collect, collate, analyze and disseminate information to different departments in the Government. Therefore, security is the work of the police. We need to get this very clearly, so that we do not blame an arm that is not concerned with this particular issue. Therefore, we should be asking ourselves: Do the customers of NIS utilize the information ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I will take two minutes. First of all, I want to thank hon. Members – those who served in the last Parliament and those who have been elected by the people of Kenya again to serve in the Eleventh Parliament. However, I want to bring to the attention of the hon. Members just two things. This Commission, unlike other commissions, is a political commission that ought to be a trade union in every aspect. I want to appeal - and I do not want to repeat what actually happened in the last Parliament – that ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Really, yes, we can be called anything else and these issues must be addressed by the Commission and, therefore, I want to say that, on behalf of the Chairman who is in place now, we will live up to your expectations. Thank you so much. view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, first of all, we do not want to get confused. This is not a semantics issue. I want to appreciate what hon. Kajwang said. There are traditional interpretations of law, the law is not static. The mere fact that other parliaments did not engage in this does not stop the Eleventh Parliament from also having something to do with memorandum. What I want to suggest is that for the sake of the comfort of the Members, this House is about to annul that purported Gazette notice of Sarah Serem. In my opinion, it will be wrong to have ... view

• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: This is in reference to what the hon. Member has just said. view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to appreciate the contribution of my former school mate, hon. A.B. Duale. But it is critical that we put facts before this House because this House will always be guided by facts. I am on record, on 9th January this year, to be the only Member of Parliament of the last Parliament to have moved an amendment. That is because I foresaw a number of provisions in these Standing Orders as not being in tandem with the new Constitution. One was having the Speaker as the chair of the House ... view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, the crisis here is that once a Member has been recalled by the party that sponsored him, that Member cannot serve in that committee. view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I want to follow up with what hon. Ababu has said; I know hon. A.B. Duale is a very pragmatic leader. This is the beginning of our term. We have a lot of issues that we really need to share. We appreciate that you have the numbers. We appreciate that, for now, we are disadvantaged. We really want you to sit and sort out the differences because this crisis can easily be managed. In the Eighth and Ninth Parliaments, the divide between the minority and the majority was so wide that even communication between ... view
