• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. In replying, I just want to take this opportunity to profoundly thank all the Members. As you have heard, since last week, when this debate started on this Report, 99.5 percent of all the Members who have contributed to this Motion have been in support of the Public Investments Committee Report. I, therefore, take this opportunity to sincerely thank all the Members for the support they have given it. The very strong points during the debate in support of this very important project for our nation and as many Members have said, that project will not ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.108 regarding a matter that occurred outside this House over the weekend and, indeed, my concern is that this is a matter that has been perpetuated by one singular Member of this House not just in the villages and churches, but also on national television. That is because I had an occasion to appear on a national television debate with hon. Junet Mohammed last week on Thursday. In the dialogue, he said that our friends in the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) cannot bring the dialogue to this House because ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, hon. Junet proceeded to assert that this is a House that deals with trivialities and, therefore, they are not interested in dialogue in this House. This is a House that is constituted of duly elected honourable Members of Parliament who represent Kenyans. It is really hurting to see an hon. Member and a colleague in this House, in front of villagers and surrounded by villagers, say that this is a House that deals with trivialities. Indeed, this is not just demeaning to himself as a Member of Parliament, but is also very demeaning to Members of this ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, therefore, I truly seek your guidance because if we allow this kind of behaviour to continue, whether on the Floor of this Parliament or outside, then we shall continue to demean this House. It is not just the House, but the people of Kenya who have duly elected the 349 Members of Parliament who sit in this House and the 60 something Senators who sit in the other House. Therefore, I will be seeking your indulgence that we take action and if you find this Member to be grossly out of order in line with our Standing Orders, ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: dignity of this House. That is because if we allow an hon. Member to demean the character of these Members - people who come and sit here for four Sittings every single week – that they deliberate on trivialities when we know we are dealing with very serious national issues, it will be very bad. I understand him. He might have been excited because of the people he was standing next to and, as I said, those were jobless villagers who were standing next to him--- view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with all due respect, there are many jobless villagers who respect this House and, therefore, we must demand respect for this House and these hon. Members from that Member of Parliament. view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Hon. Olago Aluoch is well heard. But it is important to note that this is not a matter that emanates from a report by the media. It is something that was brought verbatim as he said it on national television. I do not know whether hon. Junet is in this House. But it will be important first to give him that opportunity to explain himself to the House. If he can apologise to Members of this House, then we are at liberty not to name him. But I would still insist that for us to maintain ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I appreciate the input by hon. Gumbo, who has truly been kind enough to attend a funeral with me in my constituency. That also constitutes a function because we know – The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
