• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have looked at the Order Paper and noticed that there are amendments to the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill but I do not see any amendments to the County Governments (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.95. Gauging the mood of the House and the fact that all Members who have contributed are fully in agreement with the importance of this particular Bill, and also all of us are agreeing with the mediated version of the Bill, is it in order for me to request you to call upon the Mover to reply? Thank you. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also want to add my voice to this debate. I support the proposition by Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. We should borrow from experiences such as his, Hon. Namwamba’s and others. This House should not rubber stamp or role figures across because this is a supplementary budget. I feel that it should just cover gaps within the Budget until the end of the financial year so that there is no crisis within ministries or departments. However, looking at this, it is like we are just going through the budget of ministries and departments. That is ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. You have put a ruling that is very dangerous in this House. You have said only two Members will contribute to an amendment. There are diverse ideas in this House. By cutting that to two Members, it appears that the Chair is stifling debate in the House and diverse ideas. Thank you. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to oppose this amendment. If our athletes are not knowledgeable, then we cannot hold them culpable in case they are involved in any misdemeanour. How will they comply with the rules if they do not have the very basic knowledge to understand the rules? I oppose. view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise on the issue of Hon. Midiwo saying that the Jubilee Government is exercising exclusion and yet when Members from their side are included in Government, he says that there are no brains on this side. He should thank the President for including Members from his side of the divide. view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I would like to applaud the Presidential Address to the nation given on the Floor of this House. As leaders in this House and elsewhere, if we want to lead, we must accept to be led. That must be the spirit of this nation. I want to salute our soldiers in Somalia, those in the streets of all our cities and towns and those who are in the field all over putting their lives on the line to protect us. It was callous on the part of one of our colleagues to refuse ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: All police stations around the country have motor vehicles today. If you talked to police officers or reported a crime before, more often you were told to give them your vehicle or fuel their vehicle. Jubilee Government has put that to rest. It is fair to place credit where it is worth placing. The President of the United States of America (USA), John Kennedy, in 1961 in his Union of the State Address told his citizens one important thing. He said: “Ask not what my country has done for me but ask what I can do for my country.” When ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The President of the Republic of Kenya is Uhuru Kenyatta but the presidency is an institution. It is not an individual. If there is any President in this country who has attempted to bring Kenyans together, it is President Uhuru Kenyatta. view
