• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, what goes on record in this House is very important and, therefore, we need to get the facts right. The reports that have been adopted in this House based on 2009 census list third largest community in this country as Kalenjin. Hon. Deputy Speaker, unless we go back to that report and change the ethnicity or the ethnic composition of this country; as far as I am concerned, according to the official records, the third largest tribe or ethnic community is Kalenjin. Actually, hon. Mbadi who is speaking is thought to be a Luo, but he is ... view
• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I believe that we need another two days of orientation. Actually, we need to know that, so long as an hon. Member has not contributed to a Motion, they have an equal right as any other hon. Member to contribute to it. So, let me contribute to the Motion. view
• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: First of all, I will try to quickly look through this report. I want to put it on record that we had the best chance today to really make a difference in this country by showing, by example, what the Constitution says about vetting.

If we had noticed this early enough, we would have stopped debate on the Motion for this to be rectified. Given that ... view

• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. My good friend hon. Chanzu said that we should not talk about ethnicity. The Constitution, however, talks about it! Under Article 130 (2) it says that the composition of the National Executive shall reflect the regional and ethnic diversity. This is not our creation. This is not causing war. In fact, what can cause war is exclusivity. If you include, people will not go to war but, if you exclude, people will. view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, even as the Leader of the Majority Party is promising to give this statement, in light of what the hon. Member is requesting, could we ask the Leader of the Majority Party to pass the message that action be taken? We should not wait for the statement for action to be taken. Can he promise that he is going to diligently work since he has a very good working relationship with the Government, which has no cabinet? Can he also communicate with the Deputy President because it is like he has filled the gap of the Cabinet ... view
