Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not consider it as a Government response. I want to contribute to this Motion in my personal capacity.

8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that protection. Other than being a Member of the Government, I am also a Member of this House and, therefore, I am entitled to my contribution. I believe it is time for the Government to respond and I hope that the official responder will come in due course of the debate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank Mr. Wamalwa for presenting this Motion. It is very important. We know very well that in our African set up, the structure of the elders is very important. It is high time we ...

23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Motion. This is a very important Motion for the country. Protection of water catchment areas is very, very important. I have seen bitter wars being fought over water and I think, as a country, we have a collective responsibility to ensure that we protect our water catchment areas. It is not just Cherangany Hills alone, but all over the country. Our water catchment areas also supply water to other neighbouring countries. Therefore, we also have an international and regional obligation to protect those catchment areas. Mr. ...

9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have discussed with Mr. Were regarding the Question. I was coming to seek the indulgence of the House for the deferment of this Question to Tuesday next week, so that I can get a more comprehensive answer. I am not happy with the one I have.

1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think it very important that the Member substantiates those allegations. He should not tell us arguments they have had with a Member outside the House. He should table evidence of elections having been stolen or withdraw the remarks.

1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. Before I do so, I feel that although the Minister indicated the reason for the delay, this Bill should have come the same time as the National Accord and Reconciliation Bill. I believe that our attitudes would have been different than they are now if these Bills were brought together. The fate of the common man who is always incited against each other would have been decided before we decide how to distribute political positions amongst ourselves, the politicians. But now we are okay. Most of ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a bone to pick with Question No.046 by the Member for Ikolomani, which was deferred today. This Question has been deferred. I have---

14 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Adjournment Motion for several reasons. First of all, I would like to correct the impression created by some new hon. Members here that the only work of Members of Parliament is to legislate. It is not. We have a lot of other work out there. We have constituency funds and implementation of projects to oversee. At this time, we also have a responsibility to go out and start bonding Kenyans. The resettlement programme of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) is going on. Sitting and debating in ...

14 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very important that at this time in the country, all Members of Parliament from both sides are seen to be bonding. We must discuss issues as issues. We must not take sides on the basis of regions or areas we come from. Issues of national interests must, therefore, be debated across the political divide, regions and communities. Kenyans should see that we are actually discussing their interests as a nation and not as nations inside one big House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support this Motion.
