• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to seek direction. Since yesterday, no amendment has been passed here. Would I be in order to request that in areas where most of us have interest, you allow more time for Members to speak? Otherwise, if we will continue like this, could we withdraw from the House? Land is an emotive issue and very crucial to some of us. It forms part of this Constitution and is very important to some of us. So, could you give us more time so that we can say what we want to ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for allowing me to contribute on this amendment. I beg to support it on the ground that the amendment will ensure that the Government does not own land all over the country. The Government has no business owning property and having powers to grab people’s property. view

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: good job today. Should we ask Kenyans to vote for it? We have allowed the Armed Forces to hold demonstrations. Are we right to say that we will have the right Constitution? Therefore, I say “no” to this draft Constitution. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I want to oppose this Motion, going by what we have seen this morning where some amendments were withdrawn and some vital ones rejected. This has a bearing to the other amendments.

I beg to oppose. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to interrupt my “brother”, but is he in order to give a different opinion? I thought that the Mover of the Motion to further amend this Motion, Dr. Shaban, requested Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o to second the Motion before the House. However, the professor is not seconding the Motion. He is giving a different opinion. view
