• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am well advised. I would like to know from the Leader of the Majority Party whether it was necessary for the Deputy President to travel to Nigeria to just fix a meeting between the President of Kenya and the President of Nigeria. I would like to know whether it was not possible for the President of this country to travel to Addis Ababa this week and have side meetings with his counterparts as it is done by other presidents when these kinds of meetings happen. It is normal when you are in meetings of this nature, ... view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, we are just from a busy weekend and so many things have happened. My request for a Statement relates to what happened last week and throughout the weekend. We appreciate that the Government must work and that, in the process of working, a number of things are necessary. One, that the President will from time to time have to travel out of the country and so will the Deputy President. This afternoon I seek a Statement from the Leader of the Majority Party to know a couple of things related to the tour of duty by the ... view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Motion. However, I would like to make a few comments. I want to thank hon.

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: We have a very old tradition. It may not be institutionalized, but we have a very old tradition of home-based care for the old people. This is the best thing for this country. Let us institutionalize home-based care. Let us not transfer our old people to hospitals to be taken care of. We still want to take care of our uncles and aunts and we will do that if we only induce a little Government support. I would, therefore, implore hon. Idd to consider amending this Motion, so that it captures our aspirations as the people of Kenya. Normally, our ... view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not propose to amend the Motion. I just implored upon the Mover to consider amending it. We cannot strive to live a life that looks like a lie. I do not think even our parents will agree to be taken from home to somewhere else. What we call hospitals in this country are not hospitals.
