13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Kenyans require deliberate institutional process to ensure that we develop nationhood, national cohesion and a national integration policy that removes us from our tribal or ethnic cocoons and we see ourselves as Kenyans. A time will come when even our politics will be cross-cutting, such that it will no longer be based on regions or tribes. You can join a party because of its ideology. Wherever our people live in this country, they will be peaceful. You will not say they are foreigners. Luos or Kikuyus will live in Mandera and the Somalis can live in Eldoret and ...

Hon. Speaker, I am saying so because there are many conflicts. This Commission is coming at a time when there are a lot of ethnic conflicts in our country. There are bloody ethnic clashes in Marsabit, conflicts in Tana River, Kitui between the Coast and Eastern regions, Garissa, Lagdera and Isiolo North constituencies. Also, there are many political formations which are fueling the environment, whether they are called Inua Mama, Embrace Kenya, Jeshi laBaba, Tanga Tanga or Kieleweke .

13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
There is a culture that you stand on a podium and insult other leaders or people, just because you want to embrace a certain political orientation. If you want to abuse me, just come to my office and do so. Then, I will deal with you; it will be between both of us. But, when you abuse me during a rally, you are inciting communities.

various regions despite their ethnic diversity is a function of this Commission that must protect the smallest and biggest tribes. The other function of this Commission is to promote respect for religious, cultural and linguistic diversity in a plural society among others. We are discussing this today but as I watched yesterday’s conference, I was very happy that the President stood his ground, just the way he stood his ground when former President Obama came to Kenya. If you watch the other speakers, they mentioned something about sex diversity orientation. You know procreation is a function in a family. It ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a House of free conscience. It is the only place where one has free conscience. You can say what you want or preach about your religion. My wife and daughter cannot say “my dress my choice” because they follow the dress code as inscribed in the Quran and neither will they go dancing around. I am asking other Members to protect the Bible and Quran. If we protect the family, we will protect the community and people will not fight. You know I am a family man so, only family people can talk to ...

Hon. Speaker, the Chair of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) is telling me I am wasting time. In this House we do not waste time. Maybe you have nothing to say but I have something. Rev. (Dr.) Samuel Kobia, the nominee for Chair, is currently serving at the Presidency and the Cabinet Office as a senior advisor on cohesion, peace and resolution. So, the President has picked the person who was his senior advisor. Secondly, he was a member of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) before 2014. He also served as the General Secretary of the ...
