• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: We provided that most of the appointments shall be competitive and approved by the relevant House. You now want to fold us back, leave parliamentary approval and only take the competitive direction. Competitive alone is not enough. Even the marks given by those panels are rigged these days. How can other people give 60 or 70 per cent and somebody from nowhere in the panel gives 96 per cent? Who scores 96 per cent in an interview for a job? view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: That tells you we are corruption and ethnicity-driven to a destination we cannot be sure of and many Members in the Jubilee Alliance are aware of this. We know them. They are very intelligent and capable Members like the Chairman of the relevant Committee here. There is nothing to amend in this Bill because it is useless.

• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this morning you diffused a situation by calling an informal Kamukunji during which it was recognized that even if we try to use a technicality to solve a serious political question, we may not get an appropriate solution.

We should accept the reality, which is the next Order on delegated legislation, it does not matter whether it is considered or not, it is dead matter.
