• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that Kenyans are people who are very aggressive. Kenyans have gone to schools. Kenyans are by nature, people who really want to do things for themselves. I am not sure whether my good brother is the real cause of all the good things Kenyans have done in many different countries.

What we are critiquing is the policy, but not hon. Wetangula. He does not have to personalise issues. I do not have to personalise issues.

• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, were it not for Dr. Machage who is one of the key architects of the rights of the minority, this is not an answer. Honestly, I do not 1 view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to impute improper motive against an hon. Member because in this Chamber, we use only English and Kiswahili? We do not use Gujarati, Kuria, Somali or any other language! Is he in order? view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the light of the inability by the Assistant Minister to offer a satisfactory answer, coupled with the fact that this same answer is the one that has been offered by all the past Ministers including the colonial Minister who was in charge of Northern Kenya; taking into account the fact that northern Kenya has suffered because of attitude problem and lack of appreciation by those who plan, would I be in order to ask for the indulgence of the Chair to defer this Question until the Assistant Minister comes to ... view
