30 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, whether you are a rebel or a remnant, you will vote as a Member of Parliament tomorrow. So, even the “rebels” are entitled to vote. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said so, I want your direction. You must give direction on this matter. This matter has come of age. This matter came up as a result of the ruling of the East African Court of Justice (EACJ), while sitting in Arusha. The EACJ ruled that Kenya did not follow the treaty for the establishment of the East African Community in terms of the election of her representatives to ...

30 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, 117 Kenyans applied for these jobs. Sixty-five of them were from one section of the Grand Coalition. The remainder were from the other side of the Grand Coalition. Under Article 35 of the Constitution, the Kenyans who applied for these jobs are entitled to be told why they are not amongst the persons whose names have been brought to this House.

Lastly, today these names went through a vetting process by a Parliamentary Committee of this House, which looked at the CVs and integrity of the individuals. The Committee will bring its Report to this House before we go into election of this country’s representatives to the EALA.

17 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Constitution is very clear that there are two levels; the national level and county level. The presence of the national level will be felt up to the grassroots. Just like the Minister for Education and Teachers Service Commission did, could the Minister confirm to the nation and this House that all that he did was within his mandate under the Constitution; to reshuffle, promote, demote and sack officers?
