12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to quote from the Quran. Today I want to become a preacher. Chapter 40 (64) says:- âIt is Allah who has made you the earth as a resting place and the sky as a canopy and has given you the shape and made your shape beautiful.â So, whatever God has created, why do you want to mutilate it? Why do you want to improve it?

12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, today we are discussing FGM; on another day we are going to discuss those men who do not circumcise. A Bill will come to Parliament. Today we are talking about female mutilation. I am sure there is a lot about male mutilation and we are going to discuss it. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to talk to people who think women have an inferior position in Islam. Islam is a religion that guarantees the integrity of the human being both in body and spirit. So, you must preserve the integrity of the women. Genital cutting ...

6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will take three minutes. I stand to support this Motion. From the onset, I want to thank the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs and the ODM-Kenya for nominating hon. Affey to this august House. I will be very brief. If there is an institution that must be reformed in this country after the Judiciary, it should be the Immigration Department, more specifically the unit responsible for the issuance of ID Cards.

2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Motion for Adjournment. On the outset, I want to say it very clearly to Members of Parliament from the drought hit areas that the Ministry of Livestock Development, in its own wisdom, has decided to decentralise the monies meant for off-take. Tomorrow and the day after, you will find in your respective constituencies, the amounts of money we have given to your District Livestock Development Officers. We feel that we are actually moving towards the devolved system of government, and we had better start it now. We are asking hon. Members to ...

2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the truth is bare. I do not need to name them. I am talking of political parties in this country. I have not singled out any particular political party, but it is for Kenyans to sift the grain from the chuff and see who these are. As hon. Duale, I am saying that we must build political parties based on the Political Parties Act. Parliamentary Committees must not be run at the whims of political party leaders or on the basis of regional politics or at the whims of a few things that are extra in ...

2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the last 20 years, the Kenyan Government has tried to give Somalia a government, but what has happened? Today, we are told the people of Mandera and northern Kenya are in the thick of a war or warlike activities. We are unable to cope with the drought situation in northern Kenya; the Kenyan foreign policy must be very clear. The people of northern Kenya who border that country are going to be the victims of any warlike activities. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kenya Government should not be the ones to choose the ...

23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, picking from where Mr. Affey left, you need to look at Standing Order No.47 (3). If that amendment we are bringing is in contravention of the Constitution, then we need your direction and guidance.
