• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, generally, I just want to say that saving is a culture that must be inculcated. In fact, in Africa--- view
• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Harambee concept is contained in our Coat of Arms. Just above your head, we have our Coat of Arms. Below it, it is written “ Harambee ”. Even on the Coat of Arms behind hon. Members’ seats, it is written “ Harambee ”. It is a concept which was conceptualised by our forefathers – previous leaders like Tom Mboya and others. It is an African socialist spirit of assisting one another. I know that a committee which was chaired by hon. Koigi wa Wamwere collected views across the country and recommended that Harambee should be stopped. However, ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I really would have wished to speak in the previous Motion, but that has been overtaken by events now. I wish to support the nomination of those very capable Kenyans to their respective diplomatic stations. I have had an opportunity during my tour of service in Government to work with so many of those nominees. I have worked very closely with hon. Sam Ongeri when I was in the Ministry of Higher Education, hon. Chirau Mwakwere, hon. Robinson Githae, hon. Kiema Kilonzo, Joseph Magut, hon. Sheikh Dor, Rukia Subow, Prof. George Godia, and Mr. ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we have several missions that are not too busy. But I know that we have countries within East Africa, Asia, European Union (EU) and even America. We want to see trade between our country and those other countries getting better. view

I want to say that those of you who have not worked with hon. Ongeri, that mzee is a very effective professor. I have worked with him. We had a programme in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) where I participated with him together with Professor George Godia. Let me tell you that the old man is really competent. So, let us not look at age. In any case, he actually operates from ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to say that the former Minister for Finance, Bwana Njeru Githae is cool and was a very competent Minister. I think if we give him this job, he will do a wonderful job in Washington. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Ambassador Lazarus Amayo, as you all know, has been in this business for quite a while and we have total confidence that he will deliver on his mandate. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my good friend hon. Midiwo talked about age; that people should not talk about age in funerals. We are only talking about age in the context of somebody who wants to be President in future. That is one of our questions in this proposed referendum. Of course, we all know that most of us are opposed to it because of the taxation. Let me warn Kenyans that if you approve that thing that you want a lot of money, you must be taxed. So, taxation is an issue that must also be addressed as you talk about that. ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: So, generally hon. Speaker, I want to say that I support and let us approve all those names. Thank you. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. Hon. Speaker, you will recall that you gave an earlier instruction that we should complete this by exactly 4.00 p.m. We seem to be agreeing on this issue. This issue is not controversial and so that we can cover the two other orders, will I be in order to request you to finish this issue so that we can clear those other issues? view
