• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I oppose. Thank you. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak once more. I would like to condole with the families of the bereaved and state that security has become a very serious matter in the country. We have had all manner of threats directed at this House, primary schools, secondary schools and universities. Now it has happened to a university. Only cowards will attack defenceless people. It is very painful to us as a country. If they are really serious people who want to fight our country, then they should go where they should be and fight with ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Going straight to the Speech of the President, there was an apology concerning past matters as required by the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission‟s (TJRC) recommendation. I would like to state that while an apology is important, compensation to such victims is also important. You will remember that in this House we have debated a matter concerning the people who suffered during the Mau Mau time, and the British Government agreed to compensate them. It will be a good thing for those people who suffered during those times to be identified and the Government has a particular budget to compensate ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, cases have to be executed fast. Since the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC) prepared the Report, which is an annexure to the President‟s Speech, it has to be executed quickly. It should not merely be covered on newspaper headlines without going to the details. This is what happened to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. Under our own Standing Orders, the matter affecting that Committee was very well settled within the Committee. However, the EACC seems not to be up to date because they may not have looked at the HANSARD. I am sure had they looked ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Again, with regard to crime, an individual is sued and charged as an individual. The individual answers to the charges raised against him. Evidence is adduced against an individual and so is conviction. Therefore, it would be fair, as required by the Constitution, that they move fast and clear the matters which have caused trauma to a lot of Members of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. view
