• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want the Deputy Prime Minister and Minster for Local Government to visualise the following scenario, so that he can actually guide us in this matter. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Let us assume that after the next elections, your party has majority Members in the Senate and my party brings majority of Governors in Eastern Province. Now, if you decide to sack the Governors from my party, what will stop you? You have the majority in the Senate. So, these are the things about which we are saying we need to be very careful. Will it be for the Senate to sack Governors or will it be for the County Assemblies themselves to do so? I am sure that if we give these powers to the Senate, we will have ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I hope you understand what I am talking about. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I am just a little bit worried on the issue of time. I would have suggested that we be very precise on the issues as opposed to making one amendment into a big debate. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think this is an unnecessary amendment because the Act is very clear. It is very clear what the qualifications are. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, just to support hon. Konchela, when you say “village”, it has a definition.

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in as much as the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs are trying to put up a case. However, in the first place, Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona is a Member of that Committee. So, when this matter came up, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs was not even courteous enough to have a representation. But as it may be, they did not collect views from other affected areas. For them to assume it is only 60, it is very misgiving. If they came and proposed and said, 1,000, probably, that is something ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I am aggrieved because I have seen constituencies with smaller population, smaller wards with eight wards, while a constituency like mine, and others like Makueni- -- So, basically what we are saying is this is not the right time, you have not lost. This matter can be deferred until even if it is after six months. I suggest that the issue of wards is looked into, not for a specific number, 60 only. I think that will be very unfair. view
