• 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
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying this knowing very well that I also qualify to be a Deputy Prime Minister. However, we have to play affirmative action! view

Until we have a clear master plan for our youths--- We would like our graduate youths to know that upon qualification from our universities, as they await to be absorbed into the job market, they have something that can keep them doing what graduates used to do those days when we used to have jobs. They can be allowed to do tarmacking . Since we have got a very small proportion of diploma and ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk on this first day. May I congratulate you upon your election as the Speaker of the Tenth Parliament. I would also like to congratulate hon. Members for winning in the 2007 General Elections. I would also like to congratulate the President for winning and steering the country during the just ended crisis. I would also like to congratulate Mr. Raila for appending his signature to what has become the reason why we are slowly finding order in our country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to condole members of ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, our youth may have sung for us during the crisis but, maybe, their agenda was different. I strongly believe that until the Tenth Parliament is going to have a national masterplan for our youth in this country--- It should be clear for a university student that when he or she leaves the university, there is a clear path that he or she is going to pursue until he is employed. If that is not done, we might not go too far. We will move from hatred against ethnic groups to class wars where hon. Members who are ... view
