• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is high time we closed the refugee camps in this country. Even if we are signatories to the 1951 Refugee Convention, we have done enough for the refugees in those camps. It is time the security of the country took precedence. This is the time we should bring to Parliament all the international treaties that this country has signed. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. There are specific functions that are given to the Auditor-General. Indeed, the word ―shall‖, much as it is going to add value, will strain the capacity of the Auditor-General. So, we must look into that. The word ―shall‖ is for compulsory--- view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when the Departmental Committee Chairman tried to convince us, he left out the issue of timeliness. Maybe we should give him another chance to see if he can convince us otherwise. I agree that in terms of audit, time is very critical. In the amendment he has referred to, I cannot see the aspect of timeliness. Therefore, I oppose. view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to register my thanks from the outset and thank His Excellency the President for the speech that was delivered in this House. The President was given a standing ovation when he apologised for the past crimes and whatever had happened before. As Christians, we know very well that that is a sign of acknowledging that some wrongs were done and you are seeking forgiveness. Of course, Kenyans were happy and we were also happy and we forgive him. This is a starting point of reconciliation. We must move together as a team in ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to remember the late Lee Kuan Yew who was the founding Prime Minister for Singapore. In 1963 Singapore got its independence like our Kenya. At that particular time, Singapore was a Third World country. Right now as we speak, Singapore is where it is because of the reforms that were taken by Lee Kuan Yew. The first thing he did was to institute zero tolerance to corruption. We have seen in research that 30 per cent of our income goes into wastage through corruption. I want His Excellency the President to try and benchmark what the late Lee ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon Deputy Speaker, I know our GDP growth now is around 6 per cent which is way below the projection in the Vision 2030 and we know why. One of the reasons is because of post-election violence. If we move together in a reconciliatory manner, I know we are going to achieve whatever we are going to do. We support the issue of stepping aside. To me, it was like an Executive order that all the people; the Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and others need to step aside and once investigations are over, if they have not done anything wrong, ... view
