• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The youth of this country is getting a raw deal. I always wonder what happens to the youth who do not step in high school and those who do not go to the university. For those who join university, we have the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) which sponsors their studies. For those who join teachers colleges and Kenya medical colleges, we do Harambee for them. What happens to those who get grade “C-” and “D”; who do not qualify to join middle level colleges? That is the issue. We are leaving a whole generation without a guided future. If ... view

• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My point of order is on a very simple issue. We have been given two very qualified ladies but you know when we start ethnicizing every other appointment, it looks bad on us. This lady called Saadia Abdi Kontoma--- view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the point of order is that we are trying to tribally, as it were, classify the nominees here who are qualified in their rights as Kenyans. That is my point of order. If we are talking about these nominees here--- view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, Sir. Under our Standing Orders, there is no such thing as Government Bill. All Bills are done by this House as Bills of this House either as public Bills or private Bills. The only thing that we need to take cognizance of is the fact, and you have said this yourself, that even chairs of committees are Members of this Parliament. However, if you remember what I said view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I am guided, hon. Speaker, Sir. When we were electing the chairmen of these committees, it was always known that they will be doing specific things. One of that was that they will be in charge of the committees that they will be chairing, including defending, bringing statements and answers to issues that are raised in this House and, above all, articulating the issues that affect the dockets that they hold. Until such a time that we agree that this is the wrong system, they must continue doing so with what I will say ability that used to be before ... view

• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. In fact, hon. Junet Nuh has done us a lot of good service. This is something that has been affecting every Member of Parliament. These people are not actually offering the services they are supposed to. They have become small kings. They are clan kings. We have seen them bring their relatives and even terminating very sensitive agreements. We have seen them do things that a normal person would not do. We need to look at their roles afresh. As somebody just said if you go to the people today and ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I am not challenging what you have just said, but I am on a point of order on this issue of Statements. The reason some Members are chairpersons and some are not is the responsibility that follows. Much as I know you are trying to help the chairs of these committees, there is a responsibility for being a chair. I think we are going to let the chairs off the hook easily the way I am seeing things happening. I do not think this House will ... view
