• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am concluding by sending my deepest sympathies to all those who perished because of the unscrupulous people who put poison in alcohol so as to outsmart others in business in various parts of the country. I would like it to be on record that I will do everything possible to scrutinize every clause to see to it that the clause is friendly to those who do not take alcohol, it is friendly to those who take alcohol and to ensure that the culture of co-existence exists in this country. What I mean by this ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Bill No.2) (Senate Bill No. 4 of 2013), pursuant to Article 113 of the Constitution of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I make any specific references to this Mediation Report, I want to justify my seconding this Motion, by my realization that, indeed, what this board is going to end up doing is that it will allow this particular amendment to flow from Articles 6, 10 and 174 of the Constitution. Specifically, Article 6 (2) of the Constitution reads:- “The governments ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, there is no way that I can mislead this House. I am not the Registrar of the Judiciary to know which Act or pronouncement came before which one. But I am aware that Justice Mumbi, sitting in the High Court of Kenya, found that the position of County Commissioner is unconstitutional. I am also aware that the Attorney-General, Prof. Githu Muigai, for the interest of Sen. Murkomen and others who might be in doubt, was a Member of the Parliament when this statute was being discussed in this very Chamber. He has gone ahead and also ... view

• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I am alive to that. But there is something which is worrying me and for which I would like you to guide the House. The Senator has just substantiated that senior officers in charge of security in the country did what they did. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you will bear with me, in 1972 in the United States of America (USA) exactly the same thing took place. In that case, President Richard Nixon and his close aides ordered harassment of political activists, political groups and political figures using the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) the Criminal ... view

This is the one Statement that never misses and it is the one that gives direction to this House on what we should anticipate for the coming week.

Today, the entire Government side is only represented by one Member and the Leader of Majority is not there. Is the Government still committed--- view
