25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
under Article 10 of the Constitution. So, nearly a third of the House has contributed. I went through the HANSARD of yesterday morning, evening and this afternoon and I have been watching from my office. I want to say that the mood that I set yesterday, you know politicians go astray, Members kept to that mandate. Why do I say so? Nobody spoke about the challenge the President gave to the Legislature in terms of making sure that they support the Government in the Big Four Agenda. He thanked Parliament, more so the National Assembly, for making sure that all ...

25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, which oversees these institutions, must put them to task. So, nobody should feel that they want to protect the office of the DPP. The Constitution has protected it as well as the offices of the EACC and the DCI. Nobody can purport to protect them. You cannot protect them in a funeral or a rally in your village. The Constitution has protected them. They have security of tenure. They are only answerable to Parliament. Give us a break. The President said you cannot fight the war on corruption through vigilante justice. You go to ...

25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
The President is on record saying that if you think he has a corruption case, you can take a walk to Karura Forest. So, the problem in the war against corruption is with us as politicians. One group calls itself kitaeleweka, another one calls itself tangatanga and another one calls itself ODM. We are in Government. You have no business in the war against corruption. After the DPP approves the case, he will take it to the Judiciary, which will ensure that there is fair justice. So, do not lecture us. The DPP comes from my county, but he does ...

25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
So, the President came and said that we should not use vigilante justice to brand him. Why do you want to brand Hon. Arati on corruption and he is not? If you have evidence, produce it. Just because I am richer than you or more religious and I can distribute money to build mosques, you want to say that my money is from corrupt deals? No! The President said he is not even going to sack his Cabinet Secretaries until they are charged in court. There is an Act that this House passed called the Fair Administrative Justice Act.

25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
There is competition to defend President Uhuru Kenyatta and claim that he is good. I wish some people could look at the clips they made. Hon. Arati should just refresh his memory on what he said about the President. We have no problem. We have even said something about their leaders, but we have agreed to have the nation come together despite what I said about Hon. Raila and Hon Arati.

You are out of order! The Temporary Deputy Speaker is on the Chair and he is even telling me I am out of order. Anyway, I will forgive him. I do not want to engage him. He is a good friend of mine.

25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
However, even among our own constituencies between me and that of Hon. Ganya, there might be conflicts. This unity the President brought should go to all the parties. You cannot tell me that you will come and bring a handshake and you want to destroy the internal bridge of a party called “Jubilee”. In the unity of a nation, a nation is composed of blocks, counties, communities and political parties. I said it yesterday and I am repeating. I am saying it also on behalf of the President who is my party leader, that there is no way, for those ...

25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
With those many remarks, today I am happy from the on goings in Wajir West. Tonight the Jubilee family will have a new Member of Parliament from the region I come from. There were only two ODM Members of Parliament. We have taken one and they have only one; the only remaining ODM Member of Parliament in Wajir North. So, the whole of North Eastern is now red except one. This is because of the handshake. The people of Wajir West said that they want Jubilee and Uhuru Kenyatta. They also said that they are tired of rhetoric.

So, tonight, I will not sleep, but from the indication of our party agents, the small party called “KANU”, which had five Members out of 349 will see the most humiliating defeat ever in Wajir West.
