• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. There is confusion in this debate. You need to give guidance on the reporting by the Committee. If you look at the Report by the Committee, they have mixed two Bills in one report, which is against Standing Order No.127(4), which provides that there must be a separate report for every Bill. The Report by the Committee is what is causing confusion in the House. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was relying on the Standing Order No.127(4), but if you read the whole of 127, it does not say that there has to be a report.

• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I heard hon. Jakoyo telling the House that the Inspector-General of police has been breaking the law. In fact, he is saying that he has been breaking the Constitution. I would want him to give us any one incident in which the Inspector-General has broken the law.

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, sub-clause (2)(b) talks about the qualification of the Chairperson of the Tribunal. It says that he must be an advocate of the High Court. However, when we met in the Committee, it was agreed that tax is not necessarily a legal issue. So, we agreed that people with expertise in tax matters can also chair the committee. Therefore, we brought this amendment to say that the chairperson can be an advocate of the High Court or a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, who are professionals in the field of taxation. ... view
