• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: It is also important that when the President spoke in the opening remarks of his Address, he addressed the issue of the IDPs. I want to appeal to the Government--- There are still thousands of IDPs who are called integrated IDPs who are yet to be compensated. It is important, as the President said, that the Government makes sure that integrated IDPs are thoroughly investigated to know who are the genuine IDPs, so that the genuine ones are compensated by the Government. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is also important to note - I heard hon. John Mbadi speak about it - that it is hon. Mwai Kibaki, the former President, and hon. Raila Odinga who was then the supervisor of Government, who should have investigated and made sure that the real culprits of the post-election violence in 2008--- Indeed, these were the two protagonists in the 2007 elections. It was incumbent upon the two gentlemen then to make sure that IDPs were resettled, and those who ought to have been compensated were compensated. It is sad that those two gentlemen never did that ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I want to thank hon. William Ruto and Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, our good President, for having taken that bold step to make sure that IDPs were compensated and those who ought to have been resettled were resettled. It is important to remind Kenyans--- History will judge us harshly if we forget that the thousands of demonstrators on the streets of Nairobi and other urban centers were calling for peace only for the installation of one Raila Odinga in power. Therefore, even as we ask investigators and Government to investigate, they should come out clean and tell us what it is ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we have also spoken about the ICC and it is important because I am one of those hon. Members--- I treat with a lot of distaste what hon. Wandayi has said, that there were goons and cartoons outside the ICC court because there were hon. Members who accompanied the President. If you listened carefully to what was going on in that court and what was said by the Attorney-General a day earlier, it is clear that the ICC, or the Office of the Prosecutor, has absolutely no evidence either against the President or the Deputy President. It has ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: In conclusion because my time is over, it is important for us to remind ourselves in this House that we passed a Motion to remove this country from that ICC process, and we need to follow up on that Motion and remove this country and other African states from the ICC Statute, because this is a neo-colonial tool. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report. Maybe it is good to mention to hon. Kaluma that if, indeed, they invite the President to Homa Bay County and treat him well--- The President is at liberty to visit any part of this Republic and be treated with the respect that he deserves because of the Office that he holds. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: It is important to note that many of the nominees who have been nominated by His Excellency the President to serve in various positions across the world are people whose experience and qualifications are impeccable. This is despite the minor reservations that my colleague, hon. Chris Wamalwa had. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: It is important what hon. Kaluma has said that a university degree is good. Indeed, we want to encourage all our children to go to school and achieve the highest levels of academic qualifications. However, it is equally important to recognize those other skills and experiences that individuals have and accord them the respect that they deserve. Therefore, to insinuate that because somebody does not hold a university degree is not deserving is not right. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is also important to note that this list has had support across the board; that is from both sides of the political divide. This is basically because of the kind of inclusivity that we have been hearing people in funerals and those calling for a referendum asking for. If there is anything that speaks volumes of the President and the Jubilee administration’s commitment to inclusivity in public service, it is this list. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: It is important to note that His Excellency the President has nominated people not just on the basis of the regions that they come from, but also in terms of age. That is why we have been emphatic that we shall not discriminate whether it is Madam Chelimo who is 35 years old or Sam Ongeri who is over 70 years old. This is important because I heard hon. Jakoyo Midiwo speak in regard to what has been called on the political leadership in this country to relinquish their positions. That is those who are seeking to be presidents in ... view
