• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. Indeed, this is very important. We are here as Members of Parliament and all of us do oversight. It is not an issue to do with CORD or Jubilee. It is said that “united we stand, divided we fall”. I support the extension by four months. With regard to this critical Bill, we need ample time to do stakeholders consultations. It is an issue that has brought about a lot of interest and that is why we need ample time for consultations. As we move on, we do not want it ... view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Not myself, of course. I am not having any petition. I also want to congratulate you, hon. Speaker, for promising to provide a room for the media because it is very important to have the media around. They are part and parcel of social accountability and in fact this Bill applies to them so that they can also be reporting objectively and professionally. We must all co-exist for the national good of this country. For the Members of Jubilee, I want to say this, being in CORD side does not mean we oppose everything. That is a very wrong assumption. ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker I rise to seek your guidance regarding a Statement that I sought from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, hon. Chepkonga, regarding the release of official results of the last general elections by the IEBC and subsequent disbursement of the political parties funds in line with the Political Parties Act. I have had a chance to appear before that Committee. But so far nothing meaningful has come out. When you request a Statement on the Floor of the House it does not belong to you; rather, it belongs to the entire House. ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank Leader of Majority Party for the work well done. However, I have been in this Parliament for about four months now. As a leader, I do not expect you to mistake me with Eugene Wamalwa. I am Chris Wamalwa and I am totally different from Eugene Wamalwa in terms of the looks and height. So, please, never repeat that, because this is not the first time you have done it. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Appearance in terms of talking in the HANSARD, of course, yes, and talking sense, things of value. Not negative about each other. So, please, I am hoping that you are not going to repeat that. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: You should know people! view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: You must know the people that you lead, actually. Thank you. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not going to belabor the point, but I want to seek some clarification. We know very well this is a House of rules and procedures and such amount of money must be provided for in terms of the law of this country. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I appreciate what the Leader of Majority Party has said. However, one thing that I want clarification on is when you say 50 per cent to 50 per cent what do you mean? That is women representative, 50 per cent and the constituency Member of Parliament, 50 per cent. That is a welcome idea. We are all here for complementary purposes but when you go further and say that the women representative is going to be the overall, what do you mean? When you look at an organisational structure, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the overall leader of any ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: We know very well that the women representative idea came in as an affirmative action. Everyone knows about this. So, the issue of overall does not arise in this case. Unless we are going to work in terms of equals--- Giving an example of Nairobi County where we have about 17 constituencies, hon. Shebesh who is here will be going through all the 17 constituencies. Does it mean the hon. Member for Ruaraka or the hon. Member for Kibra or Westlands for that matter are junior to her? This is because when you say “overall” that is what it means. view
