• 27 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. The issue we are dealing with, for me, is both structural and legal. At times, it has been fuelled by the courts. I have said here and I want to repeat that in the USA, for over 20 years now, there has not been a single time when the courts agreed to preside over any matter presented before them by either the House of Representatives against the Senate or vice versa. Every time the courts have been asked to preside over any matter between these two Houses, they have refused. That, it is their ... view

• 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.

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.
