• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on a point of information if the gracious hon. Millie will accept. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I want to inform her that, in fact, the current Director of CIA is a former Congressman. Therefore, one of the amendments we will consider is to remove that bit that criminalizes a Member of Parliament. So, she is perfectly in order. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for my good friend, hon. Githae, to mislead Kenyans and the National Assembly, in particular when he is a very senior Minister? The work of the NSIS is covert and not operational activities in the field. You need to understand the work. If you want to translate the NSIS into a police, then you need to amend the Police Act. The function of the NSIS is to sit down and employ the services of hon. Githae. Even a Minister can work for the NSIS and remain in ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to join my colleagues. As a Committee, we have looked at this Bill critically with other players. This is a good Bill. It is a well intentioned Bill and it captures almost all the issues that our Kenya Defence Forces would have required. However, there are few challenges that, as Parliament, we must be willing to address. Gender equity is one of the issues that are enshrined in the Constitution.

• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will conclude in a minute. This aspect needs to be cured in the long-term because I know that right now, there is nothing we can do because it is clearly stated. view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I switched on the button by mistake. view

• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: It is a request, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Leader of the Government Business on this initiative. We, as a country, must be frank enough with the Kenyan public. Since the promulgation of the new Constitution in August, 2010, the Government had two good years to prepare these critical Bills. As much as we do accept that these are critical Bills and we must meet the constitutional deadline of August 27th, we must also be frank enough to tell the Executive that this is not the way to do business here in Kenya because things have changed. ... view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Leader of Government Business has alluded to the itinerary of the President. Presidential times are prepared one year in advance. Therefore, it must have been known to the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Kimunya does not know that the President’s diary has been planned one year in advance. Therefore, the issue of the Olympic Games and the Presidential visit to London is not an issue that can be used as an excuse for the delay in the tabling of these Bills. You can use any other excuse. Certainly there, he ... view
