• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid answering the question? The question being asked is not whether he gave directions, but whether he is aware that a meeting took place where directions were given. Is it in order for him to avoid answering the question? view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose the Motion. I am, indeed, surprised that this amendment has been brought by somebody from the clergy itself. Most of the matters of religion are best treated and handled when they are left out in any written law. Which religion wants her members to be converted to another? None! Even my own religion, Christianity, will not make a law which will allow her members to be converted to another religion, not even Muslims.

How do countries like the United Kingdom operate and yet they do not have these little Constitutions. I oppose. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. You might have missed what Ms. Ndeti said. She said that Members of Parliament are wasting time, which is unparliamentary. She owes this House an apology and withdrawal of that remark. She has just come to spoil everything. This means that she is demeaning what we have been doing here since morning. view

• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, teachers’ recruitment is something which is currently going on. It is not in order for the Minister to say that he needs more time, when he knows the procedure!
