14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Only those three people in this country called Kenya. If you have a chat with the President, the Deputy President and the Right Hon. Raila Odinga, you are under obligation not to enter that room with your phone. Anybody else… I want to urge Members not to be intimidated by the people we vet and the people we appropriate money to. They must respect the House. Hon. Speaker if you allow me, there are colleagues who had issues with the Cabinet Secretary for Health. I know all of them are listening. If you do not fall in the category of ...

14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to support this very important and timely Motion. Allow me to begin by referring to the words of one of the most celebrated United States of America (USA) President, John F. Kennedy, who once said: “Let us stand together with renewed confidence in our cause -- united in our heritage of the past and our hopes for the future -- and determined that this land we love shall lead all mankind into new frontiers of peace and abundance.” These words mark where we are today as a country. We are a country of peace ...

I want to make it very clear. It is not about merger of political parties. The ODM, as one of the largest political parties on the minority side of this House, is up to the task and has the capacity to check the Government. What we are witnessing this evening is on matters of national The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

interest, growing the economy, peace, stability and killing ethnic mobilisation in our country. We are together. This country is being torn apart because people are obsessed with the regions, tribes or religions they belong to. We want to build one nation. This is the route that the Right Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta have shown us. I applaud the decision by our two leaders to come together at this time as statesmen to guide the nation on the path of self- reflection and reformation. The Motion before this House clearly draws from the initiative sponsored by our ...

14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, there is a question of what constitutes a majority or minority party? This is immaterial for now. An issue that may arise as we lend support to this noble initiative by our two leaders will be the question of which party or coalition of parties constitute the majority and the minority. This issue may arise from the inclusivity proposed in the initiative to build bridges by our two leaders and the bipartisan resolution that I am certain this House will adopt. Nevertheless, I believe that the question is not one for resolution by the House at the present ...

14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
I speak for the Jubilee Party and I have said it that this deal does not and will not be equated to a coalition government. At the moment, the deal is still very young. It is just one page. So, we are yet to see more. I am sure there is excitement out there. There is friction. There are those who say this deal is going to complicate the 2022 succession politics. I want to make it very clear from the outset that those who aspire to be leaders or president in 2022, you do not need to hang from ...

14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
any group that wants to vie for 2022. The ladder is not available on the Jubilee side. We have our succession roadmap. Our candidate is already known. He is the utility player. He is a very expensive player. All that we are doing as the Jubilee Party is to protect that utility player. You know I am a fan of Manchester United and there is a player called Lukaku. When Lukaku plays, we make sure that he does not get injured. For us as the Jubilee Party, our strategy is clear just like day and night. We have no workshops ...

14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
I am a happy man because I was inducted into politics by none other than Raila Amolo Odinga. Of course, there are people who are scared of Raila Odinga. Raila Odinga is loved and hated in equal measure in our country. It is because of his history. Raila Odinga went to the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and left with the cream of KANU in 2002. He joined and said “Kibaki Tosha ” and Raila Odinga left Kibaki in 2009 and forced him to form a Government of National Unity. Today, we have friends in the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM), ...
