• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: That is the right thing to do and that is where we should be heading once that Committee makes a determination and tables a report here. Hon. Wandayi or even I can appeal to that Committee to reconsider the decision that you took while on the Chair. I think precedent has been set because in the last Session, I was a Member of this Committee. At times you were magnanimous enough on a matter or decision you made while on the Chair. You stepped aside from chairing that Committee and allowed other Members to chair. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I remember during the last Session, on a matter concerning Hon. Milly Odhiambo, you excused yourself from chairing sittings and even brought other members to assist the Committee. I remember Hon. Wario and Hon. Elmi were enjoined in the Committee on Powers and Privileges and we determined the matter objectively and tabled a Report before this House. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I, therefore, beseech you, Hon. Speaker, to be firm on this one and not allow the Judiciary to trample on our privileges as Members of Parliament. We cannot and shall not have our cake and eat it. Nothing will stop a judge tomorrow from ordering the police to walk into this Chamber and arrest me for something that I have said on the Floor. Therefore, we cannot pretend that we will have our cake and eat it; that we will choose what powers and privileges to enjoy under our Standing Orders and which ones we will rubbish in the Judiciary. view

There were members in this House who went to question the authority of the Speaker outside the court room with the media.At the right time, we should bring this matter to the attention of the Committee on Powers and Privileges view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: If we want to be respected, we must respect others and the very institution that we sit in. We must respect and honour the authority of the Chair. Otherwise, we may as well ask you to excuse yourself and get Justice Odunga, Justice Mumbi Ngugi and others to come and sit there and conduct the business of this House. view

• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: My comment is to support the Petition by Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, my very good friend. In light of what many Members have said and in view of what I said in this House yesterday, it is important to note that many of the militia gangs that I was speaking about are domiciled in our universities.
