• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: touches on both creating an environment for freedom and also regulating the media to create some sense of responsibility is a move in the right direction. It is not lost to many Kenyans that, indeed, many of our media houses, more so during the post election violence in the late 2007 and early 2008--- It was unfortunate that a number of our media houses greatly contributed to the escalation of violence by clearly inciting people through the broadcasts. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that the existing Communications Commission of Kenya has had no teeth to bite; we will get an authority that can regulate broadcast content in this country and one that can take action against media houses that not only broadcast content that is inciting to the members of the public, but also content that is also not good for our children; this will be a step in the right direction. I do not have much on this Bill. I am not an expert in broadcast matters, but I am a strong advocate of freedom, not just of expression ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I support the Bill. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was really perturbed by my good friend, the Leader of Majority Party, for purporting that the House is empty yet we are all here. As much as I am also disturbed that the House gets empty when such technical business comes up, it is good for hon. A.B. Duale to appreciate that hon. Members are present. Truly, there are hon. Members present and the House is not empty. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg for your protection from hon. Kang’ata. I am not a dramatic student like him, so I will not engage him in the shouting match of whether I am CORD or Jubilee. He should know that I am Jubilee to the core, and that is why I will not even entertain anybody trying to invoke the name of His Excellency the President in this debate. I will not entertain any thought that can reduce this important debate that touches on the lives of our children or reduce it to a debate to ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: This Committee has done a splendid job and if we are to respect the work of Committees in this House, I want Members to support this Motion. The Committee had the time to interrogate all the issues and all the aspects of these nominees and they have given us very clear observations. Hon. Wanga has just told us that a name was sneaked into the list that was brought to this House or rather to that Committee. I would even urge the Committee to probably have added a fourth recommendation to further investigate how that name got into that list. ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The insinuations did not refer to anybody specific. I only spoke of the lords of impunity in the former regime, whom I will not entertain if they spoil anything in this Government. Let me say that the guilty ones are always afraid and move on.

• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Protect me from hon. Kang’ata, he is out of order. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying it is an interesting scenario where a panelists turns out to be an interviewee. Coincidentally, the same person turned out to score the highest marks. If we are to stand as a House and ensure there is fairness in recruitment of any position in this country; we must ensure that such panels as this Kamunge panel that was interviewing these people exercise a lot of fairness and justice in the people they interview. Therefore, the process of--- view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to conclude by saying that, indeed the Committee has done a very good job. They have give us their observations which speak for themselves and the Committee Members and other Members who have contributed to this debate have made it clear that other than two of the names, they have got nothing else against the other people who were proposed in this list. Therefore, they have got every right in the near future, whenever this process is repeated for the same names to be reintroduced and interviewed a fresh and if ... view
