• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: that system of supporting “my man” whether he is right or wrong. We all know that we have a responsibility to our constituents and the people of Kenya. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On reconciliation, I would have expected that to be a theme on its own now that it carries a lot of weight. When we have a Coalition Government and His Excellency the President, whom we love very much, finishes a long speech without even mentioning about working well with the Prime Minister, we in the Back Bench look at it and say, “something is not right here.” The body language says that something is not right. When that is translated to the ground, you get a situation where the Prime Minister is visiting an area and the leaders from that ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: When His Excellency the President visits Kisii, a fact which we are very proud of every time he comes, we turn out in large numbers and all Members of Parliament from Kisii--- All the seven ODM-affiliated Members of Parliament out of the ten Members of Parliament from Kisii turn up to receive the President. We all show him respect and pleasure. We are always very happy when he is there. He is also very happy when he comes to Kisii. Can our colleagues, elsewhere in the country, emulate that example, rather than indicate that there is some friction and that ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On corruption, the President’s Address touched on it. He mentioned his will to stamp out corruption and we support him 100 per cent. We would like to see him not to play his kind heart to people who have been accused of certain activities or implicated in scandals. They should carry their cross. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: The Kazi kwa Vijana Programme, as we know, has not worked out well. This, again, is because of corruption. We cannot have a society that is progressive unless we kill this monster called “corruption” and we must do it at all levels. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the IIBRC, I think that Commission should be left to do its job and report to Parliament. This is because there appears to be a conflict between the Constitution-makers who determine how many constituencies, counties and electoral areas we should have. That is an area that will create some conflict and we need to look at it when this Constitution is brought on the Floor of the House. view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to investment, we can create employment in this country by increasing investment both local and international. However, I cannot invest my money in an area that is insecure. That is why I am very proud to tell you and the House that in my constituency which is Bonchari, we have converted young people who were jobless and were acting in a manner that was not peaceful to a force that is called “community policing” which works very closely with the police. Those young men are working voluntarily, free of charge. I want to ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Touching on reforms and looking at Parliament, I want to commend you, Mr. Speaker, and Members of Parliament for instituting reforms that I am seeing in Parliament. I believe that the Legislature is leading in reforms, as opposed to other arms view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: of Government. The Executive has tried very much to reform itself. We can see that service delivery has improved a lot, when you compare with previous years. I want to commend His Excellency the President because he has taken Government closer to the people. He has shown the civil servants that their clients are the view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: . He has given a freehand to Ministers to run their Ministries. I commend him for that. view
