• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an hon. Member who is responding to me in a very jua kali way and he has produced a prime minister. In fact, hon. Ochieng should not complain because he comes from another county. He comes from Siaya County; he is the Member for Ugenya. What has happened now? I have no single tarmac road. I see my governor driving with a flag and 50 vehicles in the middle of a poverty stricken pastoralist area. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: If you look at Chapter 11 of the Constitution, it deals with objects and functions of devolution. I want to read it to hon. Members. It reads:- “To recognise the rights of communities to manage their own affairs and to further their development;” As a Member was saying the other day, we must, as a country, kill this powerful syndrome in leadership. Leaders must be servants of the people. Sometimes, when we go to a big rally and speak to thousands of people, we are given very good food. We leave the crowds hungry and that raises very serious moral ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Article 96 is essential in the creation of the Senate. I am sure that if the Senator for the great County of Garissa is watching me, he will realize that he is there to oversee the county government as I do so over the national Government. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Coming back to what I was saying, there is an amendment that is coming to this House--- The National Assembly, through a petition from the people in the county, can petition Parliament. A committee of this House can discuss the conduct of a county government, pass a verdict and then push it to the Senate. We must have a two-way front. In every county, you have a minimum of five to six Members of Parliament. You have a county like Kakamega and a county like Kiambu with about 12 to 13 Members of Parliament. As a Member of Parliament, you ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on 4th March, hon. Mbadi, I and others went and sought to be Members of this House while others became governors, MCAs and Senators. If you chose to be a servant of the people in the office of the governor--- Even the law which exists does not allow the governor to fly a flag. In fact, what they are doing is criminal. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We do not want war but we want to set the record straight today. We should say who flies a flag and who does not. We should also say who should be called “His Excellency” or “Her Excellency”; ultimately, it is not the flag or “Her Excellency” that will bring food and development to the people. We want our governors to make sure that they become servants of the people and not demigods. Some of them became governors because of the campaign we did for them. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those very few remarks, I say that this House will defend devolution. This is not equivalent to a governor. It is in the Constitution and it is not a choice. Kenyans decided to have a devolved Government. So, you cannot chase some and protect devolution. Devolution will be in this Government, in the next Government and forever. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I beg to support hon. Keynan’s Bill on the national flag, emblems and names. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. On the outset, this is a Bill that I did soul searching about; I look at my role as a Member of Parliament under Article 95, the role of a Senator under Article 96 and the role of a Member of the County Assembly (MCA). This afternoon, I want to speak for myself and for the people of Garissa Township. The way this Bill is now, I oppose it. view
