• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order 108. As you will recall, the other day when we were in this House, during the Special Sitting on 5th September, 2013, hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo did refer to hon. Members of this House as thieves. On that day I do recall hon. Jamleck Kamau rising to ask hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to withdraw and apologize to Members of this House. The hon. Member did contend that he did not refer to hon. Members of this House as thieves. You did direct hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to ... view
• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: He went ahead and said: “Yes, you are thieves; that is why the country is failing; you are thieves.” I rise to invite you, as the Chair, to assist this House to be able to uphold its dignity. When a senior Member like hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo refers to Members of our Judiciary as thieves from the Floor of this House, he is, indeed, abusing his privileges as a Member of this House by accusing members of the Judiciary who cannot defend themselves on the Floor of this House. Worse still is to refer to hon. Members of this august ... view
• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I am, therefore, this afternoon, pursuant to Standing Order No.108, asking you do find hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to have been grossly disorderly. I invite you to name the said Member for his gross disorderly conduct in this House, because we must respect not just the dignity of this House and the Members in this House, but also those who are outside this House like members of the Judiciary who were referred to as thieves on the Floor of this House, yet they cannot defend themselves in this House. Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo should have substantiated his claim; our constituents were greatly ... view
• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, I invite you to, indeed, name the member for having referred to us, hon. Members of this House, as thieves. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I just want to enquire whether the Leader of the Minority Party, a man whom I have tremendous respect for, is in order to mislead the House that the USA never commits crime? Those were his words! Is he not insinuating that then we, as a nation, have committed crimes and that is why we seek to leave the Rome Statute? He further said that the USA is the only superpower in the world and I dare tell him if that if the USA is a superpower in the world, Kenya is ... view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am actually lost on whether to support the Procedural Motion or not to support it. This is because it raises very weighty matters because the issue of marriage as many hon. Members have said is a very sensitive topic in this country. You can see that even in this House, as much as many of us profess to be in marriage, there are issues that we would like to scrutinize. However, I would like to request the Mover of this Procedural Motion to probably consider withdrawing it and maybe separate the two very weighty ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. May I take this opportunity, first, to inform hon. Ken Obura that the Jubilee Government is doing what it ought to be doing to deliver on the manifesto that it promised the people of this great nation, if only they can spare us from these unnecessary distractions from every other quarter be it Makueni, Australia or wherever else they seek to distract us from. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I must congratulate hon. Junet for once for bringing up a substantive issue that affects the lives of many people in this country. The question of devolving power and resources in this country--- I risk again being labeled as someone who is anti-devolution view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and I rise to support the Motion although I find the second bit of this Motion not really adding much value. This is because when we ask Kenya Power KPC to offer compensation to those who have encountered fires and loss of property due to power outages and surges, I am aware from my experience in the insurance industry that every single year, KPC does take out massive insurance cover and pays a lot of money in premiums to private insurance companies to cater for such eventualities as accidental fires out of power outages ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, I have advised hon. David Bowen probably to get another way maybe of informing Kenyans and the country at large that, indeed, already KPC does compensate people who lodge claims. This is because KPC will never compensate you unless and until you lodge a claim with them. Since the company most likely may not afford to pay for all these risks, they take out an insurance cover. It is important that we also educate our people and let them know that indeed if anything happens with power in your house or business premises and you incur a loss, all ... view
