• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first four general elections after the multiparty system were bogged down by only one cry - and I know many Members in this House know what some of us went through because of one thing. The then Electoral Commission was not perceived to be independent; that it was under the control of the Government. In fact, we went on and changed the name of the commission from the “Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK)” to the “Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)”. Is the Minister telling us that the new commission has now lost its ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to strongly support this Report. This is because when the Commision on Allocation of Revenue first talked about this issue, very many of us made noise and we were very apprehensive. But, finally, it has come before us and due diligence has taken place. I wish to support it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to the two Senators-in-waiting who have spoken before me, hon. Ethuro and Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, I have no doubt that this role which his currently being discharged by this Committee will be adequately tackled by us when ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was a “commercial break.” Please, hon. Millie! view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us not belabour this because I do not want to pretend that I sit in the Supreme Court which is charged with the responsibility of interpreting the Constitution. If the hon. Member has any doubt, she should remember what happened when there was a tussle for the position of who is senior between the Prime Minister and Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. Slowly, the court of public opinion has reminded the Vice-President and the Minister for Home Affairs that the Prime Minister is nearer the President than himself. So, hon. Millie, it is ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to make a small important point, that the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, whatever it will be called must realise from now that the issue of statistics will be extremely crucial. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: There are two points on this one. There is the issue of population. We must be a wonderful country, that one corner of the country can have its population growing in a period of ten years from, probably, 300,000 or 400,000 people to two million people. When you subject it to the dynamics of demography, you will find that even in that increment from 300,000 to two million people, there are more men than women in that population. As leaders of this country, I believe that these are some of the things that we will iron out when we will ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg that the HANSARD strikes all those words that are attributed to me and, therefore, condemning Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o. In fact, had I not put him under pressure, I would have wrongfully thought that he is the one who visited this unfair thing to me. But since hon. Kimunya is there, he was the Minister for Finance and I do not know whether it was him. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: I was just congratulating him on how he disbursed funds for the roads. I was just concluding by saying that when we win our elections, wherever we come from, be it from Mfangano or wherever, and we come to Nairobi, we should, as we discharge our duties, be truly children of Kenya. I want to swear that in pursuing my duties beyond the end of this term in the Senate, I will make sure that every county in the country gets its rightful share. I thank you for giving me this opportunity and Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, my respect to you. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes. It is important for good manners and respect for the reputation of this House that the Member withdraws. Some of the points he is making are not going to help anything. That is because when you view
