• 13 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important issue. First, I want to put it on record that I am the official Jubilee Parliamentary Group Secretary. I have held that position since 2020. Therefore, I am the only one in Parliament who has the right to speak on issues pertaining to the Parliamentary Group both in the Senate and the National Assembly. view
• 13 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Secondly, as a National Executive Committee (NEC) Member, I am yet to see the purported Azimio Coalition agreement. I am sure that when you made the ruling on 6th October 2022, you alluded to the same fact that this is a non-existent document. The Jubilee Party wrote to you on a number of occasions and this was done by none other than the then Secretary General, Hon. Kioni. He wrote to you on the leadership of the Houses. He also wrote to you on the formation of the Commission of Revenue Allocation, East Africa Legislative Assembly, and Pan-African Parliament to ... view
• 13 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Equally, Hon. Fatuma Dullo lost her position as a Minority Whip in the Senate. We are today discussing the removal of Hon. Sabina Chege. Hon. Margaret Kamar also lost her membership to the Pan-African Parliament. Taking all these into account, a lot of things have now dawned on us. Being the second largest Minority Party and considering that some of us are not cows, we have decided that we cannot blindly follow the whims of individuals who do not reason. I want to put it on record that I am not a cow and that is why I have been ... view
• 13 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have also alluded to the provisions of the Fair Administrative Act. If you look at this, all the Jubilee Members have been removed from the WhatsApp group of the Azimio Coalition. That is the first demonstration that we are in a wrong coalition. Technically speaking, Jubilee is part of the Azimio Coalition as of now. Hon. Speaker, I need your protection from this particular Member. I do not want to say his name because he is my good friend. Certainly, I am qualified to say a lot of things about you and you would not like this ... view
• 13 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Wandayi. You have demonstrated to the owners of Azimio that you are up to the job of being the Leader of the Minority Party. We appreciate that. In the same breath, we will not allow you to step on our rights. This particular letter is malicious, capricious, unconstitutional and inconsistent with the provisions of every… view
• 13 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me correct this. I said Hon. Wandayi is my good friend. He has demonstrated that he is up to the job. I said this: As Adan Kenyan and the father of the 13th Parliament, I am not a cow. This is because I reason, think and reflect. I did not make any reference to any particular individual. To that extent, I am allowed to say what I want to say. I said; Considering the provisions of Fair Administrative Act, all the Members of Jubilee have been removed from the Azimio Coalition WhatsApp group. That is a clear ... view
• 13 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in short, I want to say this: under the current Constitution, we will not accept to be intimidated, blackmailed, and backstabbed. We are here by right. We will continue to exist by right. Our rights must be appreciated. As the leader of this House, it is your duty to protect the rights of every Member regardless of their political affiliation. As the Jubilee Party, we are not persuaded. We will not be intimidated. We are not part of what is being proposed and Hon. Sabina continues to be our Deputy Minority Whip. view

• 17 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have known Lucy since her days as a young Company Secretary at the Kenya National Trading Corporation and I remember her in a very unique way. In 1991 as a university student, I walked into her office when she was Company Secretary, during the Kenya African National Union (KANU) regime. At that time, sugar licensing used to be a very important exercise. I explained what I wanted and without asking for too much details, she gave me a certificate to trade in sugar which earned me the first Ksh1 million. Hon. Speaker, that was in ... view
• 17 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: asked her to stay, but because we must create space for other people, we appreciate and wish you well. view
