• 11 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: guides us on how we run our affairs as a country. Under the laws on coalition making that we passed in this House, it is presumed that there will be coalitions where some people will leave while others will join. Therefore, it is presupposed that in any term of Parliament, one side will be the minority today while tomorrow, it will be the majority. This is because it is a moving target. As to who the majority and minority are, it is not cast in stone. Therefore, the finding by the court that the decision on who the majority and ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I must be heard. Today, if the Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya (WDM-K), the Jubilee Party and the United Democratic Movement (UDM) left Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party, it will only be left with ODM, which has 85 Members. That means that it will be the Minority Party. So, the decision on who the Minority and Majority is moves like a pendulum, depending on who has left which coalition.

• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I could not agree more with the Hon. Senior Mr. Samuel Chepkong’a. But I want us to look at it from a different angle as you deliver the ruling. That the Senate, in their thirst and hunger for fame, bonga points and to look good, have been on a smear campaign against the National Assembly. This happens almost every single day and we have kept quiet. Personally, every time this debate has come up on this Floor, I have sided with the Senate. For the last 10 to 11 years, I have always sided with the Senate ... view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: It is not just corruption. I do not believe corruption is the issue in the counties. When we went for the majimbo system, there are reasons why we decided to go to counties. In 5, 10, and 11 years, we should not be talking about the counties… The other day, I was appointed a member of a Mediation Committee. We cannot be having counties crying for money every year and yet, the Senate has not made a law to ensure that there is discipline on how those counties collect their own source revenue and use them. We must hold the ... view
