• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the truth be told. We had an opportunity to consider the proposal by the Budget and Appropriations Committee in our own Committee. If we go by what the Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee has suggested, seconded by Hon. Mbadi, some of the things we proposed and resolved at the Kamukunji last week will fall flat on your faces. This is because there will be no provisions at all. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, you have to make a decision in your own wisdom because we are being asked to go back to what has already been voted and relooked at. I do not want to mention some of the issues. But I want somebody to come out clearly and say where the rearrangement will come from. This is because every item in the budget has already been allocated to a particular area. So, unless this comes out, I am sorry and hesitant to say there will be no provision for some of the things we anticipated. I do not want to mention ... view

• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for my good friend, Hon. Mohamed Junet, to demean the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) when we know it is the most sacred institution in the Republic of Kenya? To demean the role Hon. Rasso played in the KDF… If anything, he is one of the most celebrated former KDF officers in the African way. Hon. Junet should withdraw that demeaning remark about anybody who has served in the KDF. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I have tremendous respect for Hon. Junet, but I will not allow him to abuse the practice and traditions of this House. I stood on a point of order and sought the guidance of the Chair on that misleading statement by Hon. Junet on the Membership and those who serve in that sacred institution called the KDF. Secondly, instead of apologising or withdrawing, he went ahead to make other further discouraging remarks on the role of village elders. He is a product of Hon. Raila Odinga and other elders in his constituency. I am also a product of very proud ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me with due respect to ask for the HANSARD because this is a House of record. First, the statement he made about Hon. Rasso that he is a retired former KDF officer and their work is in the barracks, is demeaning Secondly, he said that this is not a place of village elders. According to my tradition, unless he is also running away from the tradition of where he was born, village elders play a very important role. Thirdly, I do not have a cousin or anybody in the IEBC. Can he produce evidence or ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate your guidance in line with that Solomonic ruling by the Speaker of the House.

• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: commissions and the two independent offices one of which is the office of the Auditor-General whose main function is to audit accounts of State institutions. Equally, PAC is one of the oldest and the most respected committees in the Commonwealth Parliamentary traditions. Therefore, whatever we do as a country, we must be careful and always respect the traditions of our Parliament, so that it gives value to the taxpayers’ money. I will not go back to what was discussed. I also appreciate the fact the office of the Auditor-General has done a good job. I am speaking as a former ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Is it a societal problem? Do we need to legislate? Do we need to sort out those challenges as part of the general societal reforms or through electoral and legislative reforms? These are issues that we should be seized of.
