• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: I do not need to intervene because you have done the right ruling. Hon. Opiyo, being an old Member, should understand the culture but you have ruled and rightly so. So, there is no point of wasting time on the Floor. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This issue of insecurity is getting out of control. It is not a matter of Kakamega alone. It is even in my constituency. My mother was brutally attacked in December and left for dead in the house. To date, Hon. Deputy Speaker, the culprits have never been arrested. We are wondering what is missing in the National Police Service (NPS). Is it the training which is wanting? Is it that we are not giving them enough funds or they do not have the will to fight crime? Are they missing resources, say, vehicles? Is it ... view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had thought my time will never come. The President’s Address had one strong word that I differ with. It was: “The state of our nation is strong”. Let us look at whether that is true. Let us look at the state of this nation in as far as corruption is concerned. Who can support the statement that, indeed, the nation is strong? In as far as corruption is concerned it is very weak. This is a country where we have introduced something which does not exist in the big democracies. When you get ... view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: There is a Member who is consulting loudly view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a country where, if somebody is suspected…Serving at the pleasure of the Head of State or being a Cabinet Secretary does not make that office constitutional. So, if you are a suspect, or if you have been mentioned adversely, a tribunal needs to be appointed. The fact that the President does not like you is enough; you should not serve in his cabinet. I have seen that happen in the neighbouring countries and even in big democracies like the UK and America. The President or the Prime Minister will sack you or relieve you ... view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: as far as the Judiciary is strong? That is a fallacy. This brings the question of the State of the Nation in as far as the Presidency is concerned. Is it strong? It is not. The Presidency is under attack. That is why we hear of the tanga tanga movement which is attacking the same President, yet they come from the same party. There is also another movement called kieleweke. That is why the President had no choice; he had to get people to come to the rescue of the Presidency. Ironically, that came from the Opposition; his enemy number ... view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Because of time, my position is, there is more to be done and we, as country, have to support the President, if we are going to achieve the goals of this nation. With those few remarks, I conclude my case. view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Although this matter has been brought up severally, I think the Chair and the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party should ensure that this matter does not rest here. We need to convey our displeasure to the Speaker who will forward the same to the Speaker of the Senate because we are spending a lot of money hiring staff who are supposed to be professional. Surely, if the legal officers in the Senate do not know the meaning of “physical planning” and “land use” which is a master’s course at the university, it is ... view
