• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I have been thinking about this. I believe in the same manner that we agreed in the formulation of CRA, where one side of the Coalition was given a number of promises and I believe they were five or so and the other side of the Coalition was given four and then there were discussions between the Whips of the House so that the gender balance is achieved. There were discussions between representatives of political parties and then the names were brought to this House. Discussions were made through the Finance, Planning ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I want to say thank you very much and I believe that, that is the way we should go. We amend but I support the way we are going. But we amend the rules to make them more efficient for us. view

• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a few issues regarding the President’s Speech to the Nation and to this House. First of all, I would like to say that I agree that many issues were debated here and brought to the fore. However, the first thing is that while the President spoke very well on the efforts to devolve this nation, it is a contradiction that the same President decided to veto the County Governments Bill when there were other options. He could have signed it and we could have looked at any amendments that could ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: He never said anything. State House never talked. We have been speaking out there and saying that if GEMA and KAMATUSA are allowed, the next thing will be that we will have the Akamba people, the Luhya people and the Luo people meeting to endorse presidential candidates. What will happen to those of us who come from smaller tribes? Are we not part of this nation? Is the President not supposed to protect all of us? It was disappointing that State House refused to talk about this issue. When he came to this House, he did not touch the core. ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the fifth thing is this: It was very sad that this Government and the President talked about ARV drugs and improvement in the distribution of the drugs yet, it is the same Government that has consistently, even when this Parliament was very strict, said that generic drugs cannot be imported into this country. The people who are carrying the AIDS virus in this country had to go to court to sue this Government and the Ministries for them to be allowed to import generic drugs. Is it, therefore, not a contradiction that the same President will ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is not a point of order! It is just a disturbance of my speech! I should remind him that, that one is an issue of counterfeit. It is not an issue of the Ministry of Medical Services. Mr. Assistant Minister, just be informed that those things fall under the Ministry of Industrialization and it was the Government which was pushing those things. Let me not dwell on that. I have one or two points view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we expected that when the President would come and stand here and speak to the nation, the people of Kenya were waiting to hear what is happening to a Government that is demolishing houses left, right and centre. The poorest people in this country seem to be taking a huge burden and the President should have said something. Those are your voters and your people. Those are the people who expected protection but nothing was said about the demolitions. Nothing was said about planning in those small areas so that people can be supported. Nothing was ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have had the discovery of oil. I am surprised that nothing was mentioned at all by His Excellency in his Speech and yet, we must, as a nation now, talk about the establishment of an Oil Sovereign Fund. We must go after countries which have set examples like Sweden and Norway. They have set aside money that will benefit the rest of the nation. It is like a quiet thing. There are no plans. He did not discuss about the legislation which must be brought here, so that it can be a bipartisan effort in ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I say that I have very few thanks, if at all, for this Speech that has been moved. view
