10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, even hon. Lekuton, until the last minute, was in my party and the Jubilee Coalition. He only changed the bus on his way to Parliament. I will make sure that the answer is delivered in ten days. He is also a serious colleague of ours and a Member of my party. Now that he is here, I am sure he knows where his heart is.

Hon. Speaker, I can confirm that this is one of the most active Committees headed by an active Chairperson, hon. Amina Abdalla. Hon. Kajuju is telling me “lady”, but in Parliament we do not discuss the sexual orientation of our colleagues. It is not about gender; it is about Members. I will pass the message and in two weeks time, the answer will be brought to the Member.

Hon. Speaker, if the hon. Member can allow me, it is very illegal for Kenyans to fish in Somalia, both in terms of international law and the threats from Al-shaabab and Somali Defence Forces. So, I think it is safe for your constituents not to cross to other countries waters and the Departmental Committee should help you. That is because what you are talking about is illegal smuggling of fish from other countries waters. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Hon. Speaker, first, I want to confirm that, despite her mode of dressing, hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona, a friend of mine, is a serious Christian. I have attended several churches she has contributed to and, as an old friend in the Tenth Parliament, do not look at her dress. I look at the heart.

10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
The matter before the House that you need to address yourself to - and I am sure hon. Ichung’wah will read the Standing Orders very carefully when he wants to bring a Motion to discuss his colleague--- I hope he will do that. But the matter we want you to address yourself to - for all of us including myself - is that we must protect the dignity and integrity of Parliament and hon. Members. When you look at Article 1 – and hon. (Eng.) Gumbo, for reasons best known to him only read that Article selectively - if you ...

10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
this House and the products that come out of this House, it is incumbent upon all of us, as the 349 hon. Members--- We might have different shades of opinion on the political landscape. We might have different shades of opinion on how things are run. It is again incumbent upon us that we must respect the leaders who run the affairs either in this House or outside. They deserve respect. For example, I have in mind the former Prime Minister. Even if we disagree with him or the Head of State, hon. Uhuru, the language you use as a ...

10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
I have the evidence. If you do not speak in Parliament, all that you need to do is check the HANSARD and I read it every day. I can even repeat it here that, yes, today it is not hon. A.B. Duale to give--- There are many hon. Members who speak more than others. So, hon. Alfred Keter, you will make matters worse because I will repeat it here on the Floor that when I look at the HANSARD, you do not appear. So, that was just on a light touch! But I am saying, including hon. A. Keter who ...

Hon. Speaker, hon. Linturi was not very clear. He is calling for a breakfast meeting and yet the venue is not known. Who is paying for this breakfast? This is in the interest of transparency. We want to know this.

10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak to this very important matter before us. Budget-making process is one of the critical functions of this House. Indeed, I want to agree with my colleagues that matters that come before this House cannot just be dismissed as trivial matters. Indeed, they are serious matters and one of them is the Budget which this House has to approve today.

I am privileged to be a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and we have spent many days in May, 2014 to come up with this Budget Proposal.
