• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also air my views. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start by saying that I am a respecter of the Constitution and this Minister must learn to respect the Constitution. I know that he is capable of doing that because he has demonstrated in the past that he can do so. Secondly, this is a Minister with so much goodwill that we would not want him to erode it. We will support you because you have undertaken to incorporate all the amendments that we brought forward as the ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if they are coming I will still give them that extra benefit and goodwill. However, Mr. Minister, do not learn bad manners from your predecessors of pushing Parliament. view

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice to supporting this Motion. My reasons are very simple.

We have conferences to go and attend. It is so important that anytime that we are in Nairobi we use maximum time to finish the business that is before us. For these reasons, I fully support this Motion. view

The National Assembly is part of the national Government and had acted in accordance with the Constitution when it gave Provincial Administration work to do in the transition period. Further, because the Constitution demands that to reject the President’s Memorandum, ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Members for supporting the amendments.
