• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am concerned and this is a very serious matter. The survival of our citizens is at stake. Two weeks is too long; we might not be here! view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to support this amendment. I am supporting it in the sense that we have had precedent before - like the election of a Speaker. First of all, we elected Mr. Marende to be a Member of Parliament and then, when he was elected as the Speaker of this Parliament, he resigned. You can only have one seat at a time. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I am giving an example! I think you should understand me! view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was just giving an example. The Constitution is very clear; that you can only hold one position at a time. So if you run for the Senate and the Presidency, if you are elected as the President, then you relinquish the seat of a Senator. Likewise, if you are running for a governor, you relinquish the one for a governor. You choose whichever you want. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy, Chairlady. There is a new Clause 30(A)! view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just want to oppose that amendment in the sense that the Directors are the ones to leave and we have the staff intact. If they have the files they should have submitted them to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) or other organs of the Government. Alternatively, if they have the files now, they can still destroy them as we speak now. To, me the safeguards are there. There must be an inventory of what they have been doing before because there must be continuity in that office. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I oppose that amendment. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to oppose this amendment. The Constitution is very clear that there will be an Act of Parliament to operationalise this; but what we are doing now is that we are making a law which will punish some people. What about businessmen? You can be a State Officer and do business; or, you can even have your children outside this country. You can open an account and operate it for them outside the country. So, sub-clause (2) does not cover this. It covers only those who work in diplomatic missions and those who are on ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to join my colleagues in supporting this Bill, which we have passed. When I was out there watching news, I was a bit surprised to see the Vice-President of the Republic of Kenya saying that Parliament is plotting to kick out Lumumba. I wish the Vice-President was here, so that he could make those comments here. It is really sad for Members of Parliament to go out there and comment on what is happening in this House. So, I believe that the Vice-President owes this House an apology. He should have been ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a project which is in a very critical area of Kenya. It affects marginalised communities, who have suffered for a long time. This is a very serious matter. Would I be in order to recommend to you that you refer the matter to the relevant departmental committee in view of the fact that it is a very serious matter? view
