• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is a House of records. I remember the same incident happened in the last Parliament. Hon. Aden Keynan and I were on Citizen TV on Monday discussing matters of BBI referendum. I was surprised when Hon. Caleb Kositany, Member for Soy came out clearly saying that Members were moving around with money to bribe other Members and he was approached. Since we were on national television, we wanted him to substantiate and we gave him a caution that it could land him in the Committee of Parliamentary Powers and Privileges, ... view

• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: On behalf of the great people of Kiminini Constituency and FORD-K party, I vote yes. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this great opportunity. The Bill at hand is historic. It is an extraordinary Bill and this can be demonstrated from the attendance in the House. Before 2.00 O’clock, we already had quorum in this House. This tells you how serious this Bill is. If it is possible, we can extend its debate time even up to next week, so that Members can have time to deliberate on this matter. I am sure that wherever our constituents are, they are watching this debate. They are following. A time will come when the people of Kiminini will ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: issues are sorted out, the economic issues will follow. The same Kwame Nkurumah said that the forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than super imposed forces that keep us apart. We must unite. One of the great proposals contained in this Bill is that cabinet secretaries will be appointed from the Membership of this House. At the moment, we are experiencing the presidential system. Some of the democracies that have grown, like Singapore, have been using a parliamentary governance system. This Bill proposes a hybrid governance system. Cabinet secretaries will be appointed from the Membership of this House. ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: the supreme law. We have gone through courts of law. We have suffered so much. Some judges do not know the importance of the NG-CDF. People from poor families, and some who have been orphaned, have gone to school with the support of the NG-CDF. If you go to Kiminini Constituency, you will find that I have put up some storey buildings. I have improved the education infrastructure using the NG-CDF. The NG-CDF has done wonders. Now that it is being anchored in the supreme law, the days of the busy-bodies who have been running all over trying to stop ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: The other critical issue is on constituency boundaries. We have some constituencies with eight wards and others have three wards. When it comes to the NG-CDF, we get the same amount of money. That is not equity. Equity means that you must get a rightful share. That is not equity 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
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: at all. Hon. Eseli was trying to come up with a law on this. It is very unfair. A constituency with a high population gets the same amount of the NG-CDF with another with low population. If you look at Article 89 of the Constitution it states that boundaries should be reviewed, not less than eight years and not more than 12 years. Since the 2010 Constitution, this is the right time. The BBI did the right thing to make these proposals. However, they should not have proposed where these constituencies will be domiciled. This is the Constitution. This is ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. It has been a long journey. I want to quote the Chinese philosopher by the name Lao Tzu who said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The journey to these reforms started at the steps of Harambee House, between His Excellency the President and Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to congratulate the Majority Leader and Hon. Muturi Kigano. When you read Article 1 of the Constitution pertaining matters of sovereignty... This is a political theory and our Constitution says that the ultimate power belongs to the people. When it comes to matters of amendment, it is the people who have the powers. They can change whatever they want. The whole process is outlined under Article 257 of the Constitution. It goes without saying that as much as we are here as Parliament, we have no powers to amend. view
