• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: That information is marketable and it will be part of corruption to lower the fine so that somebody can sell the information, get the money and use it as a bargain. We should raise the bar high enough to discourage trading with information obtained by the Auditor-General. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the principal of correction is accepted in our Constitution right now. Longer prison sentences are not likely to be rehabilitative or correctional. So, five years should be enough if our Prison Service will be doing their job in accordance with the new Constitution. I agree with the Chairman that we should accept that. view

• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I feel the Committee is being superficial. Hon. Gumbo has a long list of amendments he is proposing. If we were to deal with them in the House, it will be voting “Ayes” or “Nays”. He is proposing that the Committee should do a more thorough job by allowing him to articulate these amendments before them so that they are refined adequately before being brought either as Committee recommendations or if he refuses what the Committee says, he will subject them to the vote in the Committee of the whole House. We cannot have so many ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon Speaker. I would like to contribute to this Motion. Honestly, this is a very important Motion. I wish to congratulate the Committee for the step they have taken. I wish they had added that the Committee should investigate the process that led to the sneaking of this name to the President. Who exactly did that? Definitely, it is not the President who decided to go against the law. The reason I am so happy with the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is that as we are talking now, there are Kenyans who refuse to believe ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also add my rubber stamp to this appointment. I wish to convey my sympathies to Joseph Boinnet for the challenge he has been given on behalf of all of us. The very basis on which he was proposed, and for which we have endorsed him, could be the very reasons that will also kill him in the job. You realise that I am using strange language today. In all seriousness, tribalism and corruption are going to kill us all. Crime in this country is thriving on those two. Until as ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: pockets here and there, it retards the development of our country. If people do not invest, we cannot expect this country to prosper. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that invention brings me to a very serious point. We are managing an economy where sound brains are expected to be sycophants. We are running an economy where good brains are being ruined because they are told they must conform. We are running a country where if we are not careful, the income inequalities are going to be very high, and will destroy us. We are running a country where the richest places, where you have billionaires of our Republic, also have people with jiggers. All these complicate control of crime in this country. It must ... view
