• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee and especially the team that was mediating on behalf of the National Assembly for realising the importance of this Bill. It has the potential of shutting down the Government if we were to lose it because there is nowhere else which provides for what happens in the event that it is lost. So, I want to thank the team that mediated, led by our Chairman here, for standing down their positions in public interests. That ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The Constitution is very clear also that you cannot propose an increment without proposing where the money is coming from. I do not know whether Senate is also facilitated like the National Assembly for the purposes of legal counsel and Constitution interpretation. I know that you are the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission, but I do not know whether you give the same facilities to both Senate and National Assembly so that these people should know that you cannot propose an increment without proposing where the money is coming from. The Judiciary and the Constitution should have a provision ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: do not have that power. I want to agree with my good friend, Hon. Mbadi, that that advisory is an allocation of power by Judiciary to amend the Constitution through the back door. That is very sad for this country.

They should not do the job which Kenyans did not give them. Even this House, we have tried as much as possible to respect it, but sometimes it gets somewhere and you ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I remember one time when Jesus Christ was in a synagogue. Jesus Christ saved us. He was good enough that he saved all of us. While he was coming out, he found some people who were selling cabbages, tomatoes and clothes outside the synagogue. I remember the action which Jesus took at that time and he is our Jesus Christ. He actually removed a stick and chased all those people outside the synagogue for misbehaviour. It gets a time when we must remove a stick and do what Jesus did to those people who were misbehaving. In this case, we ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is one ambassador who said that decisions or choices have consequences. The people who have brought us to the mess where we are today must bear some consequence. I agree with some of the proposals which have been raised. Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ said that we are the bigger brother. What do you do when your younger brother is misbehaving? You have to deal with him. We are now supposed to do something. We must do something to the younger brother. I agree that the people who brought us into this mess or to where we are must ... view
