• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the outset, I would like to take this opportunity to clearly state that I am one of the few people who are against the proposed amendment to the Constitution, for the following reasons: One, I have spoken about this Report for a very long time. I have said that this country, the way it is, does not have the capacity to handle the Waki Report, particularly this section of the Report. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: This country, for a long time, has come up with proposals, knowing very well that we have a security system that has failed us. When Kenyans were being massacred, President Kibaki was the view

• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kenya. He had all the security forces under his command, but Kenyans were murdered, while he watched. When Kenyans were being shot by the police, one of the principal partners of the Grand Coalition Government was by then not in the Government. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my view was that when the two got together, they realised that this country does not have a functional security system. I thought the first thing they would do was to ensure that there was a serious reform in our security network, so that what occurred during the post-election violence does not occur again in this country. But what happened? When all of them were sworn in office--- That is why I agree with Mr. M.

• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: What has changed to date? Is there something that has changed? Those who perpetrated violence are in the Government. There is rampant corruption in this country today. One wonders why corruption is happening at such a high rate. In my view, the perpetrators of post-election violence, who are in the Government, are busy building war chest to do two things: view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Firstly, to make sure that they defeat any tribunal that will be set up in this country. Secondly, to make sure that they are ready to take over power, again, by paying young people. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why would we, as a House, if we are sincere with ourselves, believe that anything has changed in this country, and that this is not another Goldenberg scandal? Why would we believe that we are not just going to waste public funds to pretend that we are setting up a tribunal when, genuinely, we know that there is nothing we are doing? We are clear even in our documents that those who were involved will not be touched, and that their identity will be kept secret, so that they can continue looting and building further ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I strongly believe that the Waki Report is correct, apart from this section which says that we should have the tribunal in our country. Our interest is not in the proposals of the magistrates courts and the other issues. Our interest is in the leaders. Who are these people who caused pain to this country? Suppose the investigations point, God forbid, at His Excellency the President, do you want to tell me that this country has the capacity to try him? Suppose the investigation points at the Prime Minister, do you want to convince the Republic of Kenya that we ... view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I strongly believe that this is another Goldenberg scandal. We can all see it. We can see the hurry they have in looting the country from morning to evening in preparation to subvert and defeat that tribunal! view
