• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the citizen was within his constitutional rights to bring the Petition to this House. However, what we are seeing is that what has not been given by the courts is being brought to this House for debate. For that reason, I think the citizens of this country are watching and asking: Is the House going to give what the Court has not given? The IEBC should actually be thanked for running a successful election in 2013. view

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. Please, protect me so that I can make my contribution. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: In 2009, the former ECK was disbanded following the elections of 2007. In 2014, we are asking that IEBC should be disbanded following the elections of 2013. I think from the on-goings, it appears that if you do not win, actually, the problem is IEBC. We must move away from that because the referee cannot always be wrong. The player could easily be wrong on the pitch. From what the Committee has provided to this House, there is not sufficient evidence that has been presented to us for IEBC to be disbanded. If we believe in the rule of law ... view

• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to say that the answer provided by the Chairman is inadequate. Hon. Cheruiyot should have been called because that is his constituency. More importantly, if work is done at the grassroots and the officials in Nairobi are not aware of it, then we need directions from the Chair that such Statement should never be given in the House. We want to go further and ask how much money is allocated to build stadia across the country. In all the new constituencies and the old ones, we have been told that with devolution, new stadia are ... view

• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. The hon. Chair is saying that Safaricom has done a lot by giving Kshs55 million. I think Safaricom has a duty to this country. It has almost a monopoly to do that as part of corporate social responsibility--- view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to add my voice to the sentiments by my colleagues. There is a very serious drought in my constituency and many others in northern Kenya. People and livestock are at the verge of death. Like hon. Kamama has said, if we are going to say that there is devolution, we are going to leave our people to perish. It is right that this House and the national Government stepped in to save our people. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Following on what the Vice-Chair has given as a response, it appears that there are two laws in this land. One is the laws that we make in this House as enshrined in the Constitution. But there is another law that is silent, that is being exercised by the police. Whereas he has gone further to say that he is neither the Cabinet Secretary or the Inspector-General, the response that we would like to have, as the representatives of the people, is whether there are laws which are being enforced other ... view
