• 17 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: In the same spirit, kindly remember your ruling on 15th January, 2008, when you went out of your way and brought the country to order. This thing is big! I know the House rules do not allow us to quote the media but, today in the morning at 6.30 a.m, it was the subject of a television footage on CNN, from Washington. It is was being reported by Mr. Kakir, a professor of history and political science. We beseech the Chair to further direct the House Business Committee (HBC), given that the Chair is aware that we are intending to ... view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I understand that Standing Order No.20 says that the Chair may give a ruling, whether what has been raised is a matter of national importance. If it is, then I beg you to give a ruling and give us an opportunity to discuss this matter as a House, despite the direction that you have given to the Whips. view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister has said that according to investigations, the motive behind the mayhem is infighting. Could he clarify whether, indeed, what he is saying is what has been confirmed by the national State intelligence system? The Mungiki members have been shown on television footage saying that the real reason why they are fighting is because land belonging to their great grandfathers was grabbed by a few millionaires in Central Province. They are doing that to reclaim their land. view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is on record in this country that large debts owed to the Government by parastatals or co-operative societies were written-off. In view of the fact that this disconnection of power was actually a criminal act against humanity to the extent that, for example, in the Provincial General Hospital in Kakamega and the Provincial General Hospital in Kisumu--- view
• 16 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am building the clarification! Upon the disconnection of power, operations in theatre and deliveries in labour wards could not take place! This resulted into loss of lives. Could the Minister undertake to, once and for all, write off these debts so that we have a new beginning? Madam Temporary Speaker, after all, we now have a Prime Minister who will be sorting out the co-ordination between the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, the Ministry of Energy and so on. view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We also note with a lot of pleasure the presence of the cameras. Could I request that, maybe you could use this opportunity to make a firm ruling, so that we can have a breakthrough in this country, where the institution of Parliament is demystified, and allow the media to freely cover us? view

• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you may notice, it is not us, hon. Members, but even on the part of the Chair there were a few moments of lapse yesterday with regard to Standing Orders. Because this has become important, would I be in order to request the Chair to arrange a trip, now that there is peace in Malindi, to one of the five- star hotels, so that hon. Members can go there and acclimatise themselves with the Standing Orders of the House? view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to compliment the Minister for finding the good language and attitude to present this particular Bill, which is very important to this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am thinking about the history of constitutional amendments in this country and elsewhere in the world. We tried two years ago in Bomas and we, eventually, went through a Referendum to amend the Constitution, but were terribly unable to achieve anything. What I learnt from this is that like in other countries in the world, where people have successfully changed their Constitution, to change a Constitution, ... view
