• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I just want the owners of political parties to learn from the initiators of the Oscar Awards, that they let people choose. That is why our daughter Lupita was able to win an Oscar. I want to congratulate the Committee for embracing due diligence while vetting the two candidates. It is important that hon. Jakoyo Midiwo stands up here and says that he came up with pre-conditions but, when he listened to the candidate, he was convinced that she was the right one. I want the people who sit in those panels to hear the Leader of Majority Party on ... view

• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Ms. Florence Nyokabi was supported by a member from the Minority side of this House because her credentials spoke for her. We want to urge the people in the recruitment panels and those who handle the letters that go to the President to note that when they give us the right person for the job, we do not need to use our tyranny of numbers. Secondly, I want to also congratulate our Committee for the work they did on the citizenship of Mr. Abdillahi Alawy. My first reaction was: Why should we not let people from the Diaspora have some ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: of Immigration should have a desk that would help our brothers and sisters in the Diaspora re-apply for their citizenship so that they are not left out in all the institutions that we are setting up.

• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, although the dams programme is under the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, I do not oversee that Ministry. I will get him an answer from the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resource in 14 days’ time. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, he spoke of dams that are being funded by the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. As you are aware, my Committee does not deal with the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. So, I am not sure whether I am the right person to respond to the request. However, if he wants the answer from the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resource I will be willing to assist him.

• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am aware that, that is a function that falls under my Committee. I was trying to get clarification from hon. Wario on whether he wants an answer from the Ministry of Devolution and Planning or from the Ministry responsible for that function. If he wants an answer from the Ministry responsible for that function, I will respond in 14 days’ time. However, if he wants an answer from the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, he needs to re-direct the request to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I commit to give him the answer in 14 days’ time, so that he can have the dams. view
• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating hon. Kathuri for the petition. I pressed the intervention button because I am curious about his levy. I would want to know whether it is levied by the Finance Bill because the solution would be more on deleting the provision from the Finance Act than in having a petition discussed here. So, the petitioner or somebody else who understands how this tax is being levied could explain it to us, so that we can look for a more appropriate solution to the problem. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues in congratulating my party Chairman, hon. Sakaja, for bringing this very timely amendment to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act. view
