• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I support this Motion for Adjournment, first and foremost, allow me to congratulate you for your nomination to be on the Chairperson’s Panel. I served with you in the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and I know you did very well. You were very objective in your contributions. So, I am assuming that as you sit on that seat, you will continue exercising that objectivity without any bias. I have no doubt you can manage that. As I speak on this Motion for Adjournment, I want to quote the Bible, Matthew ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: , wherever they are, we want to condemn them. We are peaceful Kenyans and we want to salute the Supreme Court for whatever it did. We want to go back to the elections and we want IEBC to ensure that the elections for presidency are going to be free, fair and credible. We know the court ruling was as a result of the issues of illegality and irregularity. If you allow me to speak Kiswahili, there is a saying that “kufanya kosa si kosa lakini kurudia kosa ndiyo kosa.” We are telling IEBC not to repeat that mistake. We do ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: To ensure that the elections are going to be free and fair, we are calling for electoral reforms before we go for elections. No reforms, no elections. I thank you and I support. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order to seek your direction in relation to what the Leader of the Majority Party has just said. He is coming up with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: an ad hoc Committee to look at the Supplementary Estimates. I was listening keenly. It seems the composition is only from the side of the Majority. The Minority is not there. We know Supplementary Estimates are very critical, particularly when it comes to checks and balances. It will be proper for the Minority side to be included in such an important activity. I seek your direction. I thank you. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose this Procedural Motion. In line with Standing Order No.33(b), obviously when such a Motion comes before the House, there must be some logical justification in terms of convincing the House. The Leader of the Majority Party has just said that the word ‘specified’ is the same as ‘specific’, which is not the case. “Specified” is a verb and “specific” is an adjective. So, it is good for him to be informed with regard to proper English. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The election law is very critical and we look at it when it comes to running of elections. We are going through an extraordinary time in Kenya and we need some extraordinary measures to enable this country to move forward in a cohesive manner. We are not in any rush. We know very well of the Supreme Court’s judgement that we should repeat the presidential elections in this country. In case somebody finds themselves on the wrong side, they can always go back to the Supreme Court. The laws which guide the Supreme Court are the Constitution and the Elections ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Article 95 of the Constitution is very clear that this House can deliberate and resolve on any issue of national importance. Today, as we debate this Motion for Adjournment, I want to call upon both sides of the divide that we have a nation that we must guard. I want to borrow the words of one transformative leader, Martin Luther King Jr. He said this: “We better learn to live together as brothers or we perish together as fools.” Whether you are in the National Super Alliance (NASA) or Jubilee, the elections must be credible, ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: security. For those people who want to reap where they never sowed, the law must take action. As NASA, we stand for peaceful demonstrations and picketing as outlined in the Constitution. We want to know who will be the President of this country. If you are the President, you are not the President of Jubilee or NASA. The Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga wants free and fair elections. view
