• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a lot of respect for my friend and neighbour who probably is my senior. Member for Ugunja, you could be my senior. Hon. Deputy Speaker, is he pre-empting the debate on the names that could come to this Floor? Is he pre-empting debate on what could happen on Committee on Appointments hearing? By the way, I fear that he has already made up his mind on the debate we are going to have when the names come to this Floor. Is he in Order? view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to join fellow Members in congratulating you for being elected the Deputy Speaker of the 13th Parliament. I know who you are. I know that you take matters seriously. This Parliament is in good hands with you as the Deputy Speaker. Allow me to also take this opportunity to thank the people of Ugenya, who against all odds have stood with me to see me come back to Parliament even when everyone thought I would not. Even those who cared had written me off. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: I want to thank the people of Ugenya for profusely having faith in me as the person who is most able to champion their agenda, wishes, aspirations and needs at the national level in this Parliament. We are here to discuss the Speech given by the President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency William Samoei Ruto on 29th September 2022. There are things we take for granted. Some people think that they just happen. We must thank Kenyans for being peaceful, civil and mature democratically. You will appreciate the fact that our democracy is growing and maturing if you ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: secure. We must ensure that the money is used for the right reasons. Corruption should not seep into monies meant to benefit our people. I have heard so many Members say that the President did not talk about corruption. I do not believe that barking and shouting at corruption makes it go away. The approach adopted by our President to ensure that institutions that are supposed to fight corruption are well-funded, well-resourced and well-equipped speaks for itself. I was in the last Parliament when the former President brought us a list of Principal Secretaries and Cabinet Secretaries who he claimed ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. I will request for 10 minutes, because my name has been mentioned so many times on this matter. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On this particular matter, I wrote to your Office on 9th September 2022 about our position in Azimio, and having left the coalition party and joined Kenya Kwanza. I have a letter here and I would like to table it. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: The reasons for our leaving Azimio la Umoja are very instructive. So much has been said about us and how the marriage was done a raw deal. After the elections, the MDG’s National Executive Committee (NEC) sat and reviewed the campaigns and our position in the Azimio la Umoja. Members brought the following issues: That in the former Nyanza, the Azimio leadership was so hostile to MDG Members running in that party. They were called madoa doa. They were told that Azimio ends in Awassi. That when you come from Nairobi and get to Awassi, you now leave Azimio because ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: because I was a madoa doa . How could I be a madoa doa and still belong to the party that calls me a madoa doa ? Hon. Speaker, I would also like to table a letter from the Registrar of Political Parties. We have written to the Registrar severally asking for a copy of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya agreement. To date, it has not been given to us. The letter I am tabling here today indicates the Registrar telling us that they cannot give it to us; and that we should go to Azimio la Umoja. I ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: When you go there, you are told to come back tomorrow or next week. Up to now, our party has never received a copy of this agreement. I have perused what Hon. Junet has given us, and I dare say that the contents of that agreement are not the ones that we negotiated. I cannot verify nor totally say that what Hon. Junet has tabled today is what we negotiated or signed. Number three, our party says that Azimio la Umoja had three organs—the council, the NEC and the secretariat. In all those organs, the MDG has nobody representing them ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Secondly and most importantly is the argument of the nature of the Azimio political party. What Hon. Junet has tabled today is the instrument for registering Azimio Coalition Party. There is nowhere – and you will not find it with the Registrar of Political Parties or Hon. Junet – where the parties forming Azimio registered a coalition. You must differentiate the two. There is a coalition party and the coalition. If we registered a coalition, the argument that Azimio is a coalition of parties is incomplete. view
