• 23 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: hereby appoint Hon. Salasya as our Acting Leader of the Minority Party until the end of this debate. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have had the opportunity to work with the late President Moi, the late President Kibaki, President Uhuru Kenyatta, and now President William Ruto. We must all accept that we have a beautiful country called Kenya. All of us, as individuals and groups, must accept and believe in it. I know budget-making is emotive, difficult, and painful. I must say, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, ours was an onerous task of going through different presentations by different groups from different sectors of our economy in The electronic version of ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: pursuit of both their collective and individual rights. Kenya being a democracy, every Kenyan has a right to a divergent view. That is why the framers of our Constitution enshrined the right to public participation in our current Constitution. Being a leader and a Member of this House is a privilege. Kenyans, in their own wisdom, decided to have a few of us here as their representatives out of the 50 million Kenyans. We should reflect on that. I want to ask us questions without venturing into our political persuasions. Where were we in 1963? Where did our forefathers expect ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have been around. You are a person of immense institutional memory. Look at the missed opportunities we had. Because of fear of the unknown, this country has stagnated and lost its stature as an economic hub. We sat somewhere… Look at what has happened to the GDP of Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda. Where do we want to place Kenya? We have persuaded ourselves that it is not us who are supposed to do the right thing but somebody else. It is time to say that this country requires development. It is time, as Members of the 13th ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: This Government must function. This Government has been elected democratically by the people of Kenya. One month ago, salaries delayed and you saw the kind of picketing that took place. I am sure in your office you had mlolongo wa watu wakiuliza mshahara . Is it not so? Where will the Government generate that money from? The Government must generate money from taxation through this Bill. We have a country. This country must move on. This is the final take off for the Republic of Kenya. Please, civility is not cowardice. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, civility is not cowardice; it is part of our democracy. Let us debate. This is a debating chamber. Let us not shout at each other. As a practitioner, I always say that we debate and then the majority will have their way and the minority will have their say. That is the essence of democracy. Hon. Speaker, I support the Finance Bill. view
• 13 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I support this Report. I was the Chairman of this Committee between 2007 and 2013 at a very difficult time during the Grand Coalition Government. I have interacted with Hon. Noordin as an advocate, intelligence officer, and the recent one, DPP. If confirmed today, Insha’Allah, he will be the next Director-General of the NIS. Mr. Noordin is a quintessential and pragmatic intelligence officer. I have no doubt in my mind that he is going to contribute to the further transformation of our intelligence community. I support the Motion. view
• 4 May 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We have been here in the past Parliament. This ruling is Solomonic. I may not agree with every bit of it, but as Jubilee Party we expected you to declare us a parliamentary party. view
• 4 May 2023 in National Assembly: But you have given us 30 days. I want to appeal to the mind of my good friend, Hon. Wandayi that the 30 days does not apply to Jubilee Party alone. Even Azimio Coalition must put its house in order and Jubilee is one of the constituent parties of Azimio. The ODM, by extension, will not be allowed to dominate. view
• 4 May 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the reason we are called the august House is because this is a House of respect, tolerance, and traditions. Therefore, each one of us must subscribe to these tenets and respect the office of the Speaker. You have done something unprecedented.
