• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. I Rutto, having been in this House for a couple of years, does not seem to be aware of the legislations we have been passing. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I suggest that he reads the Traffic Act, Cap.403 of the Laws of Kenya. It is important that we are fully conversant with every Section of that Act of our laws. If he understands what is contained therein, then he will not even make a comment close to the one he made. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I fully agree that we all need ... view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: to check whether there are safety belts or not. If we legislate that we must have speed governors, it is not the Ministry of Transport that goes round with speed guns to check whether drivers are overspending or not. As a legislator, you have got to know your laws. By so doing you will assist yourself and ourselves, including the Ministry of Transport. All these complaints that are levelled at the Ministry are totally misplaced. view

Pili, nataka kumsifu Rais Kibaki. Nimesimama kuunga mkono hii Hoja ambayo iko mbele yetu.

Rais Kibaki alitugusia ... view
• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Nakushukuru sana Bw. Naibu Spika wa March 20, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 331 Muda. Labda hakunielewa kwa sababu nimeongea kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Lakini kimombo nakijua sawa sawa. Nikianza kukisakata labda atanielewa sawa sawa. Lakini kwa vile sheria zetu zinasema kuwa ukianza kuzungumza kwa lugha moja sharti uendelee nayo hadi mwisho, sitamweleza kwa Kiingereza. Nitafanya hivyo tukishatoka nje na labda atanielewa sawasawa. Huu ni wakati wa kihistoria kwa Kenya nzima. Ni historia kwa sababu mambo hayajawahi kuwa hivi. Zamani tulikuwa pamoja kabisa lakini katika Katiba ambayo ilikuwa inaruhusu chama kimoja cha kisiasa. Hali hii ni tofauti. Tusichukuliwe eti tumerudi nyuma; la, ... view

• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Not everybody in our constituencies voted for us. There are people who did not vote for us, but we are supposed to serve them equally, impartially and to treat them as our constituents without any favour. That is why we had a secret ballot. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: We do not know who voted for us but we know we won. It is important that, for the Speaker to be impartial, he should not know that X or Y did not vote for him. I am pleased that a tradition has already been established during the past Sessions of Parliament. We have been voting by secret view

• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: ballot, and the rationale is that you have somebody who presides over Parliament without knowing who voted for him or her, and that person treats everybody equally and impartially. That is why the business of the House has gone on very well. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, technology is available from several firms, which can do this kind of work. The Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards that we use in banks is an. immediate example. With the specifications given, we all know that over and above the advantage of cutting down on forgeries, there is also the advantage of cutting down on accidents, because there will be no opportunity for people to forge driving licences. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, furthermore, drivers will have to be very careful, because this is a modality which will allow police officers, or other officers enforcing ... view
