• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: If the Leader of the Majority Party can shout that way--- Learn good values from Hon. Bundi. He could not shout that way. We are here to learn from Mr. Bundi. As Mr. Sialai takes over, we wish him well. We know he will fit in Mr. Bundi‘s shoes. We have very good people. As he goes away, we will pray for him. In case he is nominated to EALA, this House will be the electoral college. I have no doubt that we will approve his nomination if at all he will be given that opportunity to serve as a ... view
• 16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not only a member of the Committee, but I am also the Deputy Whip on this side of the coalition. What Hon. Olago Aluoch has raised is something we have had a discussion on before. Personally, I had a discussion with Hon. Keynan to confirm whether it is, indeed, true that he has moved. The Standing Orders are very clear that the Chairman of PIC must come from the minority side. Hon. Keynan is not only the Chairman of PIC, but also a Commissioner at the Parliamentary Service Commission courtesy of the CORD coalition. ... view
• 16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We know you have the powers. As a whip, I would just write a letter to you and you would de-whip Keynan.

• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Minority Party Whip and the Majority Party Whip are suffering. When the Quorum Bell was ringing, I was called by a journalist from one of the media houses to comment on a topical issue and then come back. However, I reminded him that I am the Minority Party Whip, and that in case the Bell continues ringing and we do not get enough Members to raise quorum, I would be held accountable. As the Minority Party Whip and the Majority Party Whip, we are having difficulties getting Members to raise quorum. At times, we have been forced ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: to conduct business – particularly urgent business – you can exercise your discretion in line with Standing Order No.1.

• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: very humble. I want to pass my message of condolence to the family and let them know that we are together. It is God who gives and takes. We pray to the Almighty Father, at such a difficult time, to give them strength and comfort. As Hon. Chanzu has mentioned, I was at the hospital and I realized that the hospital bill was high. Therefore, I humbly request Hon. Members to support and give a hand. Those who can manage should lend a hand. This is not a Harambee - I know that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ... view

Therefore, we need to give our staff time so as to organize themselves because it will be a Joint Sitting and we expect the Senators to be here tomorrow. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second. view
