• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: matters come up, I will ensure that you are protected.” This can never be. This is what we are dealing with. A matter is before a committee and members of Parliament--- Hon. Speaker, this is where we need to tell each other the truth. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I must say what there is. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we are Members of Parliament and we work for our constituents. On a daily basis, a good Member of Parliament would go to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure to check if the road he is following has been done or to the Ministry of Enviroment, Water and Natural Resources to check--- A good Member of Parliament would do that.

They want to know whether you are one of those Members of Parliament who is going there for other reasons apart from the reasons for ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Someone would want to forum shop; if I go to this Committee, I will get a favourable judgment, if I go to this one I am sure I will be fried.

• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I agree with what hon. Duale has requested, but I wish this could be expanded, so that we can deal with all the Committees. I am very sure, hon. Speaker, from where you sit, you have got complaints from so many Committees and not just this one. This could be expanded, so that you can deal with this. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, in future, we may have to deal with the issue of reviewing.

So, we may need to review the bounds and to what extent we are going to allow our Members privileges. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I thank you. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is not a small matter and we need to avoid anything to do with going personal on this. Article 53 is very clear. If you read it in totality, all the things that hon. Mule has talked about are there in black and white. If you look at that same Article 53(2), it is very clear on what the courts will do. The courts will be required to ensure that a child’s best interests are of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child. So, you cannot purport to say that if you ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: It cannot be unconstitutional because in that particular amendment, we are trying to take care of a child who has, for a long time in Kenya, been forgotten. This is the child that is born out of wedlock before the parents get married. view
