22 May 2013 in National Assembly:
I must say thank you the Leader of Majority Party for the very elaborate and comprehensive statement he has made within the short period of time between yesterday and today. The first clarification I have from the Leader of Majority Party is:- Looking at the points in terms of the issues for the travel of the Deputy President, it is very clear that the Deputy President went to seek support for the war that Kenya is having with Somalia. I know this is a war that the President and the Deputy President have actually inherited. We had disturbances or elements ...

My final clarification is about what the Leader of Majority Party mentioned that, the Deputy President went to sign an agreement in Nigeria. We know that agreements, once signed as stipulated in Article 26 of our Constitution, they actually become part of the laws that we use in this country. What was the nature of this agreement and was there any forum held in this country to justify its signing? Thank you very much.

22 May 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to start with my good friend, hon. Wangamati because there are some issues that the whole country needs to know. I want to say here very clearly that Article 33 is on freedom of expression and Article 34 is on freedom of the media. The Kenyan people in their wisdom, in 2010, passed these under the chapter on Bill of Rights and we as the Jubilee Government will respect that. Secondly, I want to assure Kenyans and this House that â HANSARD will bear me out - the Nation Media will go all the ...

22 May 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, next is response to the matter raised by hon. Abdikadir, the Member for Mbalambala, whose people I had the privilege of representing in the Tenth Parliament. If you indulge me, I will be happy to say that they have elected a man of stature, who can do better work than I did. He asked about homeland security. I am sure that he knows what the Jubilee Government has done in Garissa. Today Garissa is a safe town.

21 May 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with hon. Ngâongo. This is an issue that I picked this morning with the Cabinet Secretary for the Treasury and the Leader of the Majority Party in the Senate. When this august House disposed of the Division of Revenue Bill that was mandated to give the allocation between the national Government and county governments, that Bill was supposed to go for assent by the President. That was the procedure and they are consulting. But I want you to rule further because there is a lot of talk in the media of a struggle between ...
