• 14 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: dockets and the decisions being made. I believe that Ms Asukul can do an excellent job in the EAC docket. Needless to say, Ms Dorcas is the epitome of competence. I wish them well and hope they do well for the country as they did in the interviews. view
• 14 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs, regarding the ongoing abductions and extrajudicial killings allegedly by police officers and especially during the just concluded Gen Z demonstrations. Article 37 of the Constitution provides that every citizen has a right to assemble and demonstrate peacefully. Notably, when the current Government came into office, there was a commitment to adhere to the Constitution and the rule of law. Unfortunately, the country The ... view
• 14 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: continues to witness cases of abduction, some in broad daylight, and extrajudicial killings by police officers especially during demonstrations against corruption and the high cost of living. It is worrying that while some of those who were abducted have been found alive, others have been murdered and their bodies dumped in swamps, dump sites and mortuaries across the country.

This has caused distress to the families and the ... view

• 1 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: time the Senate is called. The Senate is the cage of the Constitution. Every time something goes to the Senate, this House whines like cry-babies. We must live within the law. This House is the one that allowed the last Inspector-General to be vetted by the Senate and the National Assembly. Why do we keep on vomiting and wish to leave that same vomit? Let us live with our laws. The National Assembly accepted to be doing a joint vetting. We should stop pointing fingers at the Senate all the time. This House is becoming a child play. Every time ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to wholeheartedly support this particular nomination. If you are looking for competence, erudition, integrity, patience, comportment and composure, that gentleman - that doctor - has shown that you can serve in any capacity with dignity and without making noise. Dr. Patrick Amoth has been where he has been for all those years, and I have not heard any single Luo, or anybody from Siaya, claiming that he has been targeted. I have not heard any Luo saying that he is not being promoted because of tribalism. That gentleman has acted in his capacity ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: If there is anybody who has stabilised the Ministry in terms of turmoil, it is him. We saw Dr. Patrick Amoth going out during strikes - not just recently but over the years - and speaking to his colleagues in the profession with grace and humility. I want to thank the President and both Houses, Senate and the National Assembly, for doing a good job. I hope that future nominations for offices will follow this methodology. I know there is no Kenyan today who would come and say that he is not qualified. I do not think there is any ... view
