• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I beg to oppose and I can see the Chairman of the Committee supporting me. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The proposed amendments from Clauses 173 all the way to Clause 176 are actually in the same manner and in the say way, only changing the wording to enhance the punishment provided. We are not objecting to them. So, could the Chairman of the Committee move them together? view

• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have two points. First, the list that we have presented before this Parliament is made up of people who have not been tainted by corruption. This is the one thing that is so annoying to the ordinary Kenyan. Corruption is a topical issue right now. Everybody is annoyed by what is happening in the country today. It is being said that some people in the Executive are trying to manoeuvre and protect certain individuals by law in this country. We have cross-checked the list we have presented and we had a little disagreement. ... view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, in setting up the team of experts, there are two categories: There is the category of foreign experts and the category of the local experts.

• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The people we are approving here are no lesser qualified than those who are coming from - I do not know which other country. We agree that the AU has screened and approved them. But we have also approved that list in this Parliament. We have better qualifications in terms of looking at all the other things that need to be looked at. I want it to be on record that there should be parity of the terms and conditions of those experts. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I am speaking from experience because some of the people who worked, for example, for the Kriegler Commission, you will find a lawyer for the Commission, - just because he is an ordinary Kenyan, people think he should be paid less. This attitude must end. As we pass this Motion, we must be very clear in this Parliament that there must be parity. Let those experts come. Let them be given a little bit to distinguish whatever their problems will be. Kenya is so developed. There is no problem. They will be living good lives here. If they have any ... view
