• 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
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: I want to tell hon. Jakoyo that it is not age alone because we know that wisdom comes with age. It is the wisdom that informs the decisions you make when you are appointed to a position of authority. That speaks volumes of who you are. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I must say that in the last Grand Coalition Government, there were those who were given an opportunity to appoint people. Those are the same people who are today talking about inclusivity. When they were given an opportunity to appoint people to positions in the Government, we saw them appointing their cousins, brothers and sisters in positions like those in the last Government. It is important that hon. Uhuru Kenyatta today has recognized someone like Lazarus Amayo. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Dennitah Ghati has spoken volumes about the people of Kuria but it is also important--- view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Lazarus Amayo was in the nusu mkate Government but he was fired by the former Prime Minister because he hailed from South Nyanza. Now, the people of South Nyanza have an opportunity to serve in the Government because hon. Uhuru Kenyatta has recognized them. It is important to note that even in this House, when the CORD and ODM leadership was given an opportunity to nominate Members to this Parliament, the former Prime Minister nominated his own brother to come and sit in this House to represent special interests. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is imperative for Kenyans to ask themselves what are those special interests that you appoint people because they are your blood relatives to serve in those positions. Let us reserve seats that are for special interests to those special interest groups like the disabled in this country. view
