6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have a Report before us and every Member wants to contribute. I think the Member is going out of this Report. Is he in order to discuss IDPs? This Report has nothing to do with the IDPs.

1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have raised the issue of equity on this matter. Can the Assistant Minister confirm that as much as lawyers have gone on strike in Kakamega, there are parts of this country in the last 48 years or since Independence who have never seen a judge? These are areas like Marsabit, Moyale, Wajir and Mandera. Could he confirm that as much as we are discussing the issue of Kakamega, what is he doing about equity? There are those who have not even seen a judge since Independence!

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I said it yesterday and want to repeat it here today. As Members of Parliament, we have three roles; representation, legislation and oversight. It is this House that appointed this Select Committee. It is this Select Committee that tabled a Report. If we hold our horses and allow the Chair to move this Motion, we will have a chance to amend, reject or approve the Report. Can we be given that time?

29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear what the Assistant Minister said? He said that for the people of northern Kenya, this Government is even better. That is because the Government they supported for many years neglected them. Is he in order to say that resources in this country, including the establishment of higher education institutions, are allocated on the basis of loyalty? Could he confirm whether that is the Government position?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that the Assistant Minister has confirmed to the nation that the KANU regime did not give the people of northern Kenya institutions of higher learning, and he comes from Meru County where the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government and the Kibaki administration has established more than five universities, could he now tell the nation that if you want to get resources and, more so, institutions of higher learning, you must vote for the Government that will be in place? Could he confirm that to the nation?

29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Assistant Minister is taking the nation and this House for a ride. Ministers must stand up for what they say in this House pertaining to policy and budget. We would like the Assistant Minister to table the Budget Committee recommendations or minutes giving orders. Is he in order?

29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the same question by Dr. Khalwale which the Prime Minister will address next week, this is a matter of great national importance knowing that MRC is among the 33 illegal gangs banned by the Government. In his Statement, I want him to relate to how the Government dealt with seccession groups in the past and the present. I would like him also to state to the nation whether what we see in the media that he will negotiate and talk to MRC is a Government and/or a party position.

29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we need to call a spade a spade. As a Member of Parliament for Dujis, I have three roles in this House: Representation, legislation and oversight. Whether or not this Report will be used by the IEBC, my role to oversight, represent my people and to legislate must be respected. This Report must be debated. The IEBC law that hon. Members passed gives the Committee and Parliament the opportunity to be part of the roadmap in the delimitation of boundaries. So, nobody should deny us that role.
