• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would not like to interrupt my good friend, the Assistant Minister, but if you heard him, he has said that the flight was delayed and the passenger came late. When we delay a flight and the passenger comes late, chances are that the passenger will get that flight. Is it not a contradiction? view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you noticed during Prime Minister’s Time, there is Part (b) of the Statement. I was just wondering when it will be dealt with. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I got the invitation from the Prime Minister and I was extremely delighted about it. However, the most important thing is that I do not work in the Prime Minister’s Office. I work in your office. So, I thought I had duties. More importantly, I am very happy that the Prime Minister is going there. So, I am waiting for his response because I had been there over the weekend. view

• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution to this particular Bill. I would like to thank hon. M. Kilonzo for bringing this Bill to the Floor of the House, being one of those Bills that are required of this House to pass.

This Bill is being discussed against a background of post-election violence. It is against a background in which we disbanded the Electoral Commission ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to apologise on behalf of the political class. I have made it a personal commitment everywhere I go. You sit with me in the Committee on the resettlement of the Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs). You are also a Member of the Amani Forum. A few of us who are Members of this Parliament do not want this country to go through what it went. We have been apologizing to our communities, on behalf of the political class, that we brought them problems and we have not even bothered for a single moment, to go ... view
