• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This matter should not be allowed to fly because it is going contrary to Article 188 which shows clearly how you can change the boundary of a county. If we allow this one incident to fly, then you will also allow me to come with an amendment to move that Maseno comes back to Vihiga County, but we have decided to live with this. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I referred to Article 188 of the Constitution, boundaries of counties. This is in sub-section (1). If you may allow me, it reads that:- “The boundaries of a county may be altered only by a resolution (a) recommended by an independent commission set up for that purpose by Parliament and (b) passed by (i) the National Assembly, with the support of at least two-thirds of all the members of the Assembly and (ii)the Senate, with the support of at least two-thirds of all the county delegations”. view

• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. Mr Speaker, Sir, on this matter, there are two levels. There is what you are seeing in the House and there is what is on the ground. When you look at how emotive this matter on the ground is--- In Kakamega, you can have time to congratulate and praise the IEBC. I am amazed that an hon. Member, namely hon. Soita Shitanda, can approach me and tell me that we do not move this amendment because his constituency is being interfered with, yet this House wants to struggle and ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Finally, I want to plead with this House that if it was wrong for former President Moi – when he was creating new constituencies – to give constituencies to perceived friends and politically-correct areas, it is equally wrong, if not worse, for us, as Members of Parliament, to take positions that preserve our own personal interest. The people of Butsotso must be allowed to vote together because that is what they want. view

• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to second the hon. Member on this Motion. I am compelled by the fact that rural people from rural areas; 12,000 of them, can assemble signatures on a position and then without any other signature supporting the contrary view, we attempt to change that. We should listen to these 12,000 signatures and more. I second. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to present a petition on behalf of the students of engineering at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST), Kenyatta University (KU), and Egerton University. In this petition, the students are seeking to address the issue of failure of accreditation by the Kenya Engineers Registration Board (KERB).

They would like to get accreditation by the KERB. 2. Their colleagues who were trained, examined and qualified in these universities ... view
