11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want hon. Lomenen and hon. Pkosing to rise to the occasion. I want members of the Pokot, Samburu, Turkana, Somali and all other communities in Kenya to rise to the occasion and choose the path of peace. The path of peace is equivalent to the path of development. The Commander-In-Chief of Kenya Defence Forces went there as the authority of last resort in this country. He went there on a Sunday. The area leadership, comprising of governors and Members of Parliament, were there. For the last 18 months, hon. Grace Kipchoim has been coming to ...

We are giving the President the go ahead. He should know that as leaders, we will stand with him to make sure that Kenya is a secure country and he gets time to develop the nation. On the issue of deployment, I have said very clearly that this House passed a Motion. The Constitution does not stipulate the timeline for a Motion outside that.

30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, in the last Parliament, the Chairman of the Constituencies Development Fund was the Speaker of the Senate. Since he did so well during the last Parliament, he did not have time to campaign for votes, amongst the Members of the last Parliament who are in the Senate; the likes of hon. James Orengo and hon. Moses Wetangula. So, we will tell hon. Lessonet to go and get some induction from the Speaker of the Senate because the Constituency Development Committee is very critical. Hon. Speaker, as hon. Jakoyo Midiwo said, as a leader of this House, I realised ...

30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly:
I have talked to both the Treasury and the Constituency Development Fund Board so that they give me documents showing that the money is there and the timelines within which they are going to disburse it. I will table those documents before the end of the session today. I also want to tell my colleagues that they will not disburse money to your constituency as per the regulations, if your accounts still hold money. Make sure that you have spent the last financial year’s money and that your account must have less than Kshs10 million shillings. If you have millions ...

30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly:
The other issue that has been raised by hon. Jakoyo is that of the media always highlighting in the newspapers that the hon. Speaker of the National Assembly has disobeyed court orders. This has also become breakfast for the former Prime Minister, hon. Raila Odinga. He was in the Senate and he was saying that the National Assembly Speaker--- We are not aware of any court order that the hon. Speaker, either in his personal capacity or as the Speaker of the National Assembly, has disobeyed. There is an instance in which you said that you will disobey idiotic court ...

30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly:
This House has also been accused of allowing unconstitutional Bills. As Speaker, you do not have any powers to make any law. Your work is to moderate the House. This House, under Article 94 and Article 95 of the Constitution, has powers to make laws. Even the law that is being referred to as the controversial County Devolvement Act originated from the Senate and was initiated by the Senator for Nandi County. This House, therefore, had no choice because it came here and then through the Mediation Committee. When we were dealing with that law, we were actually complying with ...
