• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the hon. Member for Dujis say that this is not a political rally? Is he saying that the hon. Member, Wavinya Ndeti, does not know that she is in the august House? Is that what he means? Is it in order? He should withdraw that statement. He should concentrate on the act by Government and leave the Member of Parliament alone. She is hurt. Her people are in the rain right now. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support all my colleagues who have spoken and said that we passed a new Constitution that recognizes the sanctity of ownership of property. If you look at Article 40(2) of the Constitution, it actually ties our hands as Parliament; it says that:- “Parliament shall not enact a law that permits the State or any person to arbitrarily deprive a person of property of any description, of any interest in or rights over any property of any description”. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: This House cannot pass laws to allow the State to arbitrarily take away property. It is wrong, it is inhuman and we demand full compensation to these people who have been deprived of their property. To come here and state that the people have title deeds that are not genuine while the same Government issued those title deeds is not right. I own a title deed which I got from the Ministry of Lands. How do I know that I will not wake up tomorrow and I am told that it is not genuine, and I will see people with ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Although national security is important, we citizens also have a right to the same security to property. I am in the Government, but I feel so hurt. For the first time, I wished I never belonged to it. We want the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to tell us whether that was just. The KAA must come out and defend itself. They need to tell us who directed them to do what they did. The management of the KAA needs to go home. They should be fired! view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we know that this is a very emotive issue, but is it in order for the Minister to impute improper motive on hon. Members who feel that what was done was wrong by claiming that we have probably benefitted out of the sale of that land, yet the title deeds of the people who are being evicted came from the same Government? view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think you are rushing us. The amendment by hon. Mungatana has far- reaching effects on very many people, especially women. I think you ought to give us a chance to debate this matter! It is not right! Some of the best performing Members of Parliament are women without degrees, doing better than all of us with degrees! view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support. I am supporting this as a Member of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC); the Committee that has been over-sighting the implementation of the Constitution. This Committee has the membership of hon. Mbadi and hon. Ethuro and they know very well that we have been fighting with the Executive about these Bills. We have been telling them that they are delaying and we do not have time. If I recall well, last week when we met, one of the concerns of the CIOC is how we could extend sitting hours to ensure that ... view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the CIOC has been able to--- view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us be quite honest. You are here to represent your people. Read the Bill and look at the issues that you would like to raise. You can ask them by SMSs. Times have changed. You can use the internet. You are dot.com Members. With those few remarks, I wish to support. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to state that by asking the Chief Justice whether he was gay, I was wrong? You have seen the reaction of Members when hon. Odhiambo-Mabona was standing here and out of her allegation, many Members stood up. Where did you expect Dr. Willy Mutunga to defend himself if not in the Committee? That is why I asked him that question. I asked him so that he could speak the truth. He was in pain for three weeks. Some of you here accused him ... view
